Explore Psilocybin path therapy is a growing network of therapists in Ontario who are trained to provide psychotherapy to individuals following a psychedelic experience. The therapists are able to support patients in understanding and making sense of their psilocybin experiences, and helping them apply these insights into their daily lives, improving their mood and outlook on life.
Explore Psilocybin Therapy is founded on a rapidly expanding body of research that shows psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy can have powerful, lasting therapeutic benefits for people struggling with treatment-resistant depression. Unlike traditional depression treatments, which focus on medication, Explore Psilocybin Therapy uses a combination of psychotherapy and psilocybin-assisted experiences to target root causes of depression.

Psychedelics make it possible to access deep levels of consciousness, which can help patients reframe their thoughts and feelings in ways that allow them to be more present, compassionate, and open to possibility. This can have a profound and long-lasting impact on a person’s perspective, and create space for them to explore new ways of being in the world.
Several studies have shown that psilocybin, when used in a supportive environment and alongside psychotherapy, can reduce anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts in people with life-threatening conditions. As a result, Health Canada has approved psilocybin under the Special Access Program on a case-by-case basis and allowed multiple companies to manufacture and distribute standardized doses of psilocybin for medical purposes. This has become the primary pathway for healthcare practitioners to administer psilocybin to their patients in therapeutic contexts.
