──── WHAT IS TRAUMA?
What Is Psychedelic Integration Therapy?
Psychedelic integration therapy is psychotherapy that helps people make sense of experiences related to altered states of consciousness.
These experiences may occur through:
legally prescribed treatments
independently chosen experiences
past psychedelic use
or non-ordinary states such as breathwork or ceremonial settings
Integration therapy focuses on:
preparation
emotional processing
meaning-making
grounding insights into daily life
Without integration, insights often fade or feel overwhelming. With support, they can become steady and useful.
──── OUR APPROACH ────
Psychedelic Therapy in Ottawa
Eleusium offers psychedelic integration therapy grounded in clinical training and ethical care. Our therapists provide preparation, reflection, and structured support so altered-state experiences are processed safely and meaningfully.
-
Preparation and Screening
Every client begins with assessment and informed consent so therapy reflects readiness, stability, and personal goals.
-
Grounded Before Insight
We focus first on nervous system safety and emotional regulation, creating stability before exploring deeper material.
-
Integration Over Intensity
The goal is not dramatic experiences, but steady understanding and practical change that carries into daily life.
-
Trauma-Informed Care
Psychedelic-related work can surface difficult memories. Sessions are paced carefully to prevent overwhelm and support containment.
-
Ethical and Professional Boundaries
Eleusium provides psychotherapy and integration support only. We do not provide or promote substances of any kind.
Ongoing Therapeutic Support
We continue the work beyond a single experience. Insights are reflected on, processed, and gently integrated through ongoing counselling. This helps changes settle into everyday life, supporting steadiness, clarity, and lasting emotional stability.
“What matters most is how the experience lives in daily life.”

No. Eleusium does not provide, sell, or promote substances. Our work is psychotherapy and integration support only.
