Psychotherapy
Life can be overwhelming. Whether you're navigating persistent sadness, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself or others, psychotherapy can help. At PSI TRIP Clinics, we provide skilled, compassionate care that helps you make sense of your experiences and reconnect with what matters most. Our licensed, trauma-informed therapists create a confidential, collaborative environment where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and grow with support that you can trust.
What Is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is an interpersonal, talk-based treatment that helps people increase self-awareness, understand emotional patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping and connecting. At PSI TRIP Clinics, our psychotherapy services are relational, transpersonal, and trauma-informed. That means we treat you as a whole person — mind, body, and spirit — not just a diagnosis.
We offer several established psychotherapy modalities, including:
- Transpersonal Therapy: A holistic, integrative approach that honors the spiritual and existential dimensions of healing alongside the psychological.
- Supportive Psychotherapy: Focuses on emotional regulation, social support, and building self-esteem and inner stability.
- Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT): Centers on improving relationship patterns and resolving interpersonal conflict.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: Helps surface and work through unconscious patterns and past experiences that shape current behaviors.
Many of our clients combine psychotherapy with other services like medication management, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, or psychedelic integration.
Who May Benefit from Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is designed for anyone seeking to understand themselves better and improve their behavior, relationships or emotional well-being. It may be especially valuable for individuals experiencing:
- Persistent sadness, emotional numbness or significant emotional dysregulation
- Anxiety, intrusive thoughts or excessive worry
- Relationship dissatisfaction, distress or conflict
- Traumatic stress, PTSD, or community trauma
- Spiritual, existential, or identity-related distress
- Life transitions, prolonged grief or burnout
- A desire for personal growth, insight and deeper meaning
We also welcome those who have lost hope yet are still in need of something that feels aligned, structured, and supportive. Our care is inclusive, trauma-informed, and LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming.

What to Expect
Your therapy journey begins with a comprehensive psychological assessment to understand your goals, history, and current concerns. From there, we co-create a care plan tailored to your needs.
Session Format
Psychotherapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long and occur weekly or 2 times per month. Depending on your goals, therapy may be short-term (e.g., 8-12 sessions) or ongoing.
Treatment Focus
Sessions may include dialogue, reflection, somatic techniques, mindfulness, or expressive modalities like art or journaling. You set the pace and direction with your therapist as a steady, respectful support.
Patient Autonomy
At PSI TRIP Clinics, your needs, goals and preferences are prioritized every step of the way. Your full understanding and consent are central to successful progress. You can pause, stop, or shift focus at any time and your therapist will check in with you regularly throughout the course of treatment to assure that your voice and needs are heard.
Remote Options
Psychotherapy sessions may be available to patients within California via our HIPAA-protected telehealth platform for your convenience, while some specialty modalities (e.g., psychedelic integration) may occur in person.
Our Unique Approach & Commitment to Care
Integrated & Holistic Methodology
We believe in treating the whole person, rather than being limited by a diagnosis. Our therapists integrate psychodynamic, somatic, interpersonal, and spiritual dimensions to create care that supports the full spectrum of human experience.
Our Psychotherapy Team
Our therapy team includes licensed mental health professionals trained in depth-oriented, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care. We have advanced training and experience in psychedelic-assisted therapies and expertise in clinical research. This means we understand the nuances of both conventional and emerging models of healing and utilize whichever approaches are determined to be the most helpful to your needs .
Values & Inclusivity
We are committed to creating a safe, affirming environment for all identities. Our care model emphasizes consent, collaboration, and curiosity. We meet you where you are, whether you're cautiously curious, deeply skeptical, or somewhere in between.
Clinical Trials & Future Innovations
While psychotherapy is an established and effective treatment, PSI’s TRIP Clinics are also on the frontlines of psychedelic clinical research. We're actively involved in trials exploring how LSD, psilocybin, DMT and other neuroplastogenic compounds may enhance therapeutic outcomes in the future.
Our research-forward model means your care is informed by the latest science and you may have the option to participate in upcoming studies, if eligible.
FAQs
For some types of health insurance, you may be able to get reimbursed for the cost of your visit, though this is not guaranteed; you should check the out-of-network benefits of your insurance policy for further details. After your visit, you can request a receipt (or “superbill”), which details procedure codes, diagnosis, and fees paid. This superbill can then be submitted to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement to you. See “Financial Transparency” below.
