Insurance information
Insurance information
When it comes to your well-being, your mental health is just as important as your physical health. In 2008, the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (also known as the Mental Health Parity Law or Federal Parity Law) requires coverage of services for mental health, behavioral health and substance-use disorders to be comparable to physical health coverage. The Federal Parity Law requires insurance companies to treat mental and behavioral health and substance use disorder coverage equal to (or better than) medical/surgical coverage. The Law applies to most types of health insurance with the exception to Medicare and some state government plans. If you're unsure if your health insurance covers psychological, counseling, behavioral health services, contact your insurance representative or HR Director for more information.

Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
Your Journey begins with a Guide
Psychedelic experiences have been utilized in various rituals and traditions across the world to assist individuals in finding healing and wholeness. Researchers began exploring the use of psilocybin back in the 1940's as a therapeutic intervention which confirmed that psilocybin can assist in the treatment of mental health conditions such as: depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and a deeper connection with oneself and others. Current research with the VA and other organizations (click here for more info: https://www.reason-for-hope.org/), suggests that psilocybin promotes neuroplasticity, which is the growth of new neural connections. These neural networks may have been previously damaged via chronic stress and/or trauma. Neuroplasticity aids in the ability to learn new things and improve cognitive functioning.
Put simply, psilocybin can assist in letting down ego defenses that often act as a barrier in traditional talk therapy allowing for deeper processing and intimacy with oneself and others. Neuroplasticity helps kick start new habits and re-organize thought patterns, changing the way you respond to depression, anxiety, and trauma. That being said, psilocybin is not a magic bullet despite the term "magic mushrooms." Intentional preparation prior to psilocybin sessions and integration work post psilocybin sessions are essential to successful treatment.
Prior to a psilocybin session we will work together to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship, intentions for your journey (psilocybin experience) and appropriate grounding techniques. Psilocybin journeys often lead to strong feelings of peace and connection, however, it is not uncommon for clients to experience an out of body experience or challenging new insights. For this reason appropriate prep work is essential. During your journey, you will be monitored in a safe therapeutic setting. Many people describe the journey as mystical or spiritual experience, as innate knowings often arise. Afterwards, we will begin the psychedelic integration work to explore all insight gained.
Psychedelic Integration is a fundamental component to psilocybin assisted therapy and is also an option for those coming into therapy with past psychedelic experiences. These sessions are designed to provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore yourself. Dr. Hill is trained as a Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Guide and is a member of the Psychedelic Medicine Association.
Psilocybin for mental health use is currently considered an off-label use, Class I substance, and is not yet legal in PA or the DR (legal in CO). A full guided session takes between 4-6 hours ($2,500) and may be (or not) covered by your primary or ancillary insurance. Due to the high costs of PAT, you are responsible for the full fee regardless of whether your insurance reimburses a portion of it or not. Pre and post integration sessions are $175/session are typically covered by insurance as regular counseling and therapeutic sessions. We offer PAT in Colorado and Pennsylvania.
Group and individual retreats are available upon request. The Center does not provide any psychedelics due to the federal legalities of possession of psilocybin. Please contact the Center for more information.
