Client Outcomes
Since our inception, Odyssey has had the privilege of serving 600+ clients. We request feedback from every person we work with, and want to share this information to support others who are exploring whether psilocybin-assisted treatment may be right for them.
We asked our clients: How personally meaningful was the Odyssey Experience for you?
This experience was enlightening and I learned so much about myself and my healing.
The value I received is so vast that I have been summing it up to my peers as "Absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever done for myself and the people in my life."
The value has been very positive. It has improved my mood, sleep, perspective on life, and overall well-being. I highly recommend it to others who may need to experience some positive effect or outcome on these aspects of their lives.
Being offered the gift of connecting with the unambiguous meaning of my life was worth everything required to make this experience happen.
This experience saved my life.
This changed my life. This showed me that I have a future and that I have value as a person, when at times, I could not see a future or value in my life.
I learned things about myself and how I want to live myself that I couldn’t have imagined intuiting on my own.
This experience, from the moment I booked until the present moment, has significantly changed the trajectory of my life in a positive way. My hope from this experience was peace. I wanted to minimize the constant internal battle, thoughts, negative self-talk, etc. This experience took me on a journey of learning who I am and all the reasons I should love the person I have become. Additionally, each step of the process was meaningful, beneficial, and far exceeded anything I could have expected. The staff were some of the most amazing human beings I have ever met. It was evident they were truly called to this work.
This was one of the most eye opening experiences I have had. I don't know if there is any other route I could have gone that provided such clarity, perspective, confidence, and amibition the way this treatment has provided in such an efficient amount of time.
I put a lot of thought and effort into preparing for this psilocybin experience, and it truly paid off. The experience empowered me to break through barriers and see both the world and myself in a new light.
Truly one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. I feel like I was able to take on years of therapy in a day. I'm going to try going off my anti anxiety / depression meds when I get home. I feel like I was able to gain acceptance and breathe light into some darker situations. And things I knew I should believe, I now believe to my body/core/soul.
This experience was the first instance in which I was truly able to exist without any of the fears I've carried throughout my entire life. I experienced consciousness in the present moment, uncolored by any neuroticism or self-criticism. All mundane concerns fail to even make sense in comparison. While my old ways of thinking have come back sometimes in the two weeks since, my new confidence and contentment seem to have stayed. I would say I feel like a new person, but I think that's not quite right. I feel like I'm now the person I've always been but didn't realize it until now. The medicine shows you profound truths about your own mind and consciousness. All who are able should have a high-dose psychedelic experience at least once in their lives. To abstain is to risk missing the most fundamental, meaningful insights one can gain.
I still don’t understand the science, however, the “reveal” of what really matters meant everything to me. I realized my top worries, anxieties and stressors are not important or worth my time.
The experience is ineffable. Odyssey is a good one stop shop with everything you need to have a meaningful experience. Worth every penny!! Being guided by a professional with all the pre and post work is where the value comes in.
A healing, internal therapy that you simply can't get from traditional therapy or modern medicine alone. A truly transformative experience.
This helped me understand my own thoughts and feel more connected to the world around me. Odyssey is a haven for recovery, self discovery and overall wellness.
I had no idea going in that it would change me so much, and for the better. It was like years of therapy in a few hours.
Enormous value. During the session I felt an unprecedented boundlessness and fearlessness, and a huge sense of love, allowing, flow, courage, connection, gratitude. Over the past weeks I feel an enduring uplift in compassion, open-heartedness and allowing, and moments of transcendence.
This journey clarified and validated many of my spiritual beliefs. It also gave me a clear image that we are all connected in this world and each person is on their own path of discovery if they are willing to acknowledge it. I feel it gave me more grace and acceptance to my fellow humans.
This experience was life changing. It helped me quit drinking and it allowed me to resolve many mental health issues.
This experience was highly valuable to me. The personal insight I gained is undoubtedly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I will do this again without hesitation.
It is very hard to put into words the "value" of this experience. But I am calmer, more at peace, I feel more connected to my own mind, I like who I am better than I did before, and I am able to connect more with others. The experience will allow you to access to the workings of your inner mind and to let go of what isn't serving you.
Life changing. I've been struggling with profound depression for almost a decade, this was the first intervention that actually worked. Was like being resurrected from the dead.
I derived incredible value from this experience. I went in for depression/PTSD relief and came out with so much more.
The experience was difficult to put into words... I now know there is a place of peace and clarity inside of me that I can access. The value is immeasurable.
Things I had known or, as I say already had clanking around in my brain, i.e., wisdom, universal truths, were integrated to become an embodiment, not just ideas within my brain.
I feel a deeper sense of connectedness with people, and a renewed feeling of creativity. I am also feeling a renewed love for art and literature. My meditation practice has also deepened.
Life changing. It gave me a platform that I could use to alter the trajectory of my life for the better.
I gained deep personal insight into the things that have been emotionally weighing on me and their intensity that I had been stuffing down. I gained clarity into the areas of my life I need to pay attention to more closely. The experience highlighted questions and values that are deeply important to me.
It’s like a decade of emotional catharsis compressed into five hours. The task before me, and anyone who embarks on an experience like this, is understanding how to make meaning of that catharsis and integrating it into your life in a real and honest way.
It opened my eyes to what is important in life and brought in the joy that I have been searching for.
Provided insight into my life and fears that I wasn’t able to access previously. Set me on a path towards healing.
The experience sent me on a direction in my healing journey that I never would have been able to choose on my own.
Life-changing. It was a metamorphosis. I was able to reconnect with my inner light and soul and deeply feel love and compassion for myself. It's become a part of my way of life.
It allowed me to release a lot of emotions that I've never fully let go of, which has provided immense relief. The emotions are still there, but they don't seem to have the same hold over me that they once did.
The experience really enables you to zoom out and re-examine your entire life. Its a very cathartic experience.
It was an experience that you actually have to experience for yourself to understand it. I would say that it will be one of the most profound experiences of your life.
The experience was life changing. Full of support, compassion and great food too! It helped me connect to myself and others in a way I have never been able to before. I would highly recommend it to everyone for a more enlightened view of their lives and their surroundings.
I feel sad that the person I was before this waited so long to do it. I feel 100 pounds lighter, like I've cast away a tremendous amount of negative mental energy that wasn't serving me. It has been one of the most profound, and certainly most rapid, positive changes in my life.
Life Changing. Purpose Altering. Profound.
Allowed me to clear my mind and emotions to better reflect on what is important to me. Since my journey I have been settled, calm, and clear. I was not able to achieve this state prior to the retreat. I am extremely grateful.
When asked by an acquaintance if I found what I came for, my response was simple: “I got exactly what I came for—and more.” From the outset, my priority was finding a safe, legal psilocybin journey with a licensed facilitator, and Odyssey stood out for its emphasis on safety and support. While the words on the website piqued my interest, the team’s actions spoke volumes and drew me in. The counsel and genuine support I received made all the difference, especially when addressing my initial doubts and my partner’s reservations. From our first contact to the pre-journey preparations, the session itself, and post-journey integration, Odyssey exceeded every expectation. It was everything I had hoped for as a first-time journeyer and more. Reflecting back, the experience was one of the most profound and meaningful events of my life. I intentionally waited until the “afterglow” period had subsided before writing this, to ensure I could evaluate the overall experience. Two months out (sorry for the delay >.<), it’s clear to me that the changes I’ve experienced are not fleeting but lasting. Here are a few notable shifts in how I engage with life: - I still get the occasional nerves ahead of major events, but the ever-present daily anxiety has nearly vanished. Life over the last two months has been a bit chaotic—I had a destination wedding that had a lot of complex planning tied to it, the week leading up to the wedding was stressful due to inclement weather, my wife and I got COVID while trying to host a “family moon” in Italy after our wedding, we both got slammed with work upon returning, my brother got married a few days ago an I officiated the wedding despite my strong aversion to public speaking, etc. etc. Yet, I was able to manage through it all without too much anxiety or insomnia. I also gradually stopped taking Lexapro and Trazodone (as a sleep aid) in the weeks leading up to my session and haven’t needed them since. - I move through the world now with a lighter step, as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. On walks with our dog, I find myself gazing up and toward the horizon instead of staring at the ground in front of me. Coming home after the journey, I saw my neighborhood with renewed curiosity, noticing little details and appreciating sights I had overlooked for years. - I’ve rediscovered a sense of wonder in both new and everyday experiences. It’s as if I have a deeper appreciation for life itself, and being alive in the time that we’re in despite our increasingly divided and complex world. - Interestingly, my heart rate variability (HRV) as measured by my WHOOP fitness tracker has shown significant improvement since my journey. Initially, I thought it might be a fluke, but the trend has persisted. While it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what caused this—whether it’s reduced anxiety, stopping my medication, life changes, or the psilocybin experience itself—it’s a welcome improvement. Those are just a few of the changes that I’ve noticed. While I feel as if my life is changed, I know it’s just the beginning of yet another journey, and I am looking forward to moving ahead with my intentions.
It was very valuable. I went on a deep inner journey that has helped me feel more grounded in my life.
Virtually impossible to find the words to adequately describe the experience. Out of this universe… beyond impactful… filled with powerful emotional meaning and healing.
It was like my brain got a reset. The neural plasticity I read about in psilocybin studies resonated with my experience. In learning about others’ experiences, I believed mushrooms could be a multi-tool of sorts - able to work on trauma and consciousness expansion as well. This multifaceted ability of the medicine was also present in my journey. By having this work be done transparently, safely, and legally, I felt especially safe with the process.
It helped me grow because it taught me so much about myself. A lot of the ruminative thoughts and narratives we have about ourselves can be restrictive, but the psilocybin loosens those patterns in our brains so that we can see ourselves whole and unfiltered. That's not to say a psilocybin journey is always easy or predictable, but it can have an immensely positive impact, no matter what comes up, if you take the journey alongside a well-seasoned facilitator and a trusted team of mental health professionals.
Ineffable. Having said that, there is no singular event, something that occurred inside of a day, which has changed my view of life more profoundly and nearly instantly. And the benefits seem to keep coming. The value is immeasurable by any metric I have. Certainly worth every dollar I spent on it!
Words can't quite capture how meaning and profound this healing experience was for me, but it does feel a little like my life is now divided by: before I had the experience and now after.
The journey with Odyssey created a mental shift that was specific to my life experience and circumstances. The medicine healed a dark, isolated corner of my soul allowing for a deeper level of personal integration that feels amazing. I gained a beautiful sense of knowing that I am part of a warm, loving, source energy that connects me to all things. My mind is calmer, quieter, more peaceful, moves with less effort, and remains focused on love, kindness, and gratefulness. My desire to love has been heightened. I feel empowered to continue to create the adventure I want to have here on earth. I feel more settled and directive on the path I am traveling.
The Odyssey experience completely changed my life. I was having difficulty processing my grief. The Odyssey experience helped me move through the grief and get to the other side.
I was able to connect with myself in a way that was free from the emotional barriers I carry with me. I was able to experience and feel the love from not only from those who care about my, but also from myself. While the value I received is deeply personal and hard to quantify to someone, I would say it was an invaluable step in my journey.
I recently embarked on a guided psilocybin journey, seeking deeper self-understanding and emotional healing. This experience, while challenging, was also imbued with a sense of peace that I had never known. Psilocybin is not for the faint of heart, and the initial phase of my journey was a testament to that. Letting go and allowing the medicine to work its magic was a struggle at first, as I confronted deep-seated issues with relinquishing control. As the journey progressed, I found myself immersed in a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors and intricate shapes, a sensory overload that was almost overwhelming. This tumultuous phase gradually gave way to a series of transitions, each 'phase' distinct yet interconnected, spanning the six-hour experience. The culmination was a state of absolute bliss, a serene calmness that enveloped me in a way I've never felt in my almost 50 years of existence. I experienced an intense feeling of love, a deep connection with my loved ones, and a profound oneness with the world around me. Post-journey, my emotional landscape has shifted dramatically. I find myself more in touch with my emotions, often moved to tears not by sadness, but by an overwhelming sense of happiness and gratitude. This heightened emotional awareness has brought a sense of lightness, a pervasive happiness that colors my daily life. Reflecting on this journey, I can confidently say it has been a pivotal turning point in my life. The transformative power of this experience has left an indelible mark, reshaping my perspective and understanding of myself and the world. As I continue to integrate these profound insights, my eagerness to explore further psychedelic-assisted therapy has only grown. This experience has solidified my belief in the healing powers of plant medicines, affirming their potential to nurture the mind, body, and soul.
This experience was like no other I’ve had in my life. It provided an immediate positive shift in my perspective and Odyssey gave me the tools I need to carry that forward.
I gained inexplicable insight and clarity. I was able to reflect on my life and intentions without bias or judgement - providing clarity with pure confidence absent from anxiety or societal-driven doubt and uncertainty.
I experienced something outside myself - I was filled with awe over the universal connections among humanity. I do not fear death. My ego dissolved. A meaningful experience that helped me deepen my meditation practices. A valuable [experience] for individuals who desire growth and development, by coming to the retreat with openness and curiosity. Odyssey is a highly functioning organization that deeply cares about its mission and service. The facilitators were all exceptional, highly professional, expert meditators, extremely articulate, caring, and beautiful human beings. And they are knowledgeable about the journey and its impact.
A great way to have a psilocybin experience in a controlled environment with all the support you need. [My facilitator was] very attentive and genuinely engaged in the process at all stages.
I experienced an immediate ceasing of painful rumination that had been debilitating my life for years. I experienced profound shifts in perspective regarding issues in my life that therapy had never accomplished.
One of the most beautiful, awesome, spectacular, and meaningful experiences of my life. It highly exceeded my expectations! I loved the thoughtful and gentle support throughout the entire process.
An extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime experience, supported by a top-notch and thoughtful team of facilitators. Every facilitator had a positive impact on the experience, and I felt safe and supported the entire time.
[I chose Odyssey because of] the level of professionalism and medical background on the website. Most importantly, the initial conversation and level of empathy. Treatment that will have a huge impact if you’re willing to invest in integration pre, during, and after.
They gave me the tools to have a very meaningful experience. I felt well cared for and protected while under the influence of the psilocybin. The integrative work was done with caring and skill. I am very happy with the top-notch attention I received from them. The counseling I received before and after my experience was more helpful than I could have guessed. Odyssey is a fantastic place to go for personal growth and for mental health improvements.
This experience exceeded my expectations and was worth every bit of what I invested. [I loved] the location, the facilities, the quality of the medicine, the professionalism, the expertise, the understanding, and empathy. These people can and will help you. I felt completely safe and trusted their judgment and expertise.
It opened up my world and left me feeling delightfully untethered. My life has softened and feels free. Odyssey is a superbly designed program. Excellently thought and carried out.
Odyssey is a very friendly environment, and they take care of you so you can truly have the best experience possible. I liked the day of the experience for obvious reasons. I also really liked having the integration therapy sessions after the experience because it was very helpful talking about everything that happened.
Exceeded expectations! It gave me the opportunity to confront some issues in my past that I didn’t fully realize were holding me back. The environment and preparation work helped me to feel comfortable despite some nerves going into the session.
Odyssey is a welcoming and safe environment. This single experience gave me a tool to mentally and physically sit with my anxiety and depression. It also continued to improve upon my headache healing journey.
It help me embody a lot of the things I have been hoping to feel and helped me gain some new perspectives and insight into where I have been struggling.
Wow! The level of insights gained was equivalent to 10 years of therapy packed in one session.
It was completely enlightening and changed my perspective on life.
This experience provides you a multitude of pathways to learn, grow, and transform. From preparation, to the journey, to integration - you learn how to still the mind, to surrender and become curious to life and how to face fear. You contemplate the answers to really important questions and learn the power of intention. Above all, the experience is honest and you are broken open to the issues that need the most healing in your heart.
I feel like I have a better understanding of how this can help people who are grieving or who are suffering from past trauma. I also feel like I have a better understanding of myself and this has given me an opportunity to approach my life with new clarity and self acceptance.
The clarity and peace it gave me is priceless, I believe everyone can benefit from a guided psilocybin experience.
Life changing. I did a bunch of research prior to doing it and new that it would be a very individual experience. I didn't understand it though. I am a true believer in the power of psilocybin now. With it's help, our own mind works on itself. It's the most individually tailored experience one can have. It's absolutely, no hesitation, going to be deeply impactful if you allow yourself to go inward during your journey.
It allowed me to slow all my active autonomous processes, and feel/comprehend what I am actually experiencing. It was a tool to fully process and digest emotions that I have not fully understood or even acknowledged.
Achieved greater peace and understanding in one journey versus several hours of traditional therapy.
It was life changing, and healing in all the ways I needed!
I experienced a deep examination of myself and meaningful connections with others that feel like they will last for years to come.
Allowed me to see clearly and begin to address internal issues negatively impacting my success and happiness.
Since returning back home I feel more present, in the moment, alive. I have this feeling of spaciousness that pervades.
Transformational and a great reset for a better understanding of self.
I experienced a release of physical and psychological pain from my heart.
I experienced 5 years worth of therapy in 4 to 6 hours.
I feel a deeper connection to my life, pain, and love.
It provided a number of deeply profound insights that have already begun to positively influence the way in which I am walking through the world.
It gave me wisdom and understanding of my thoughts and feelings.
My psilocybin journey allowed me to truly see myself, to experience the connection I have with nature and people, and to give myself grace.
It was an insightful, freeing and truthful experience!
I feel such expanded clarity and empowerment. If you are looking for a Psychedelic experience that is safe and conducted by a team of professionals who meet and exceed industry standards this is the place. It is done with heart.
This experience was transformational. And it's ripple effects continues.
There are no words. I was able to reconcile relationships and come to terms with my own mortally. I learned not to take myself too seriously and have since then, changed my relationship with others, food, family and my hobbies.
It was like receiving 10 years of therapy in a six hour session. Additionally, I received palpable relief from my daily migraines.
It was an opportunity to gain incredible insight and knowledge about myself.
I felt an embodied connection to something sacred which was incredibly reassuring and answers to several concrete questions that had been weighing on me for a couple of years. I also came to feel about 20-25% more relaxed, spacious and softer in my mind and my body.
It was definitely a gift I gave myself. I've been in therapy for a decade and a half, and working quite intensely on my trauma for the last 7 years. I hit a point where I felt I needed help solidifying what I knew cognitively. I needed to believe my self-worth inside my body. Going into it, my intentions were to find myself, to free myself, and to forgive myself. The mushrooms showed me how to guide myself through the journey I needed in that moment. And now a month later, I'm seeing major shifts in my life for the better. I intend mushrooms to be a part of my life going forward. I truly believe that they will benefit me during many stages of life.
It was eye opening, an opportunity for self discovery. I felt safe, supported, and cared for at Odyssey. I had moments where I felt scared but the calming space and people present made me feel secure.
An essential experience to viewing life from a different perspective. It had the effect of living a lifetime in a day. Softening the edges of life while seeing your universe from a third person point of view.
It was a portal back to myself. Much better healing experience than money spent on therapy. In a short period I shed layers of grief that I was unable to deal with for 3 years after losing my son. Also feeling my power again was a relief as I understand my importance in my role as a human being.
I feel more at peace and more connected within myself.
I was able to work with, feel and help heal major traumas in my life. I was also able to glean clarity in areas where I was unsure how to proceed or understand my true feelings. It helped strip away things that aren't truly important and remember what is... love, connection, compassion, family and my impact on the world. I gained a better understanding of my habitual behaviors and I regained the understanding of my true essence.
Odyssey is a top-tier Psilocybin Retreat organization. Highly recommended! I loved the location, the care, the trust, and the safe environment provided.
[My psilocybin experience] was highly valuable. It's something everyone should experience. Odyssey is a company that cares for its participants and wants them to be successful. They should continue this type of work and expand the opportunities to more participants.
Odyssey curated a clinical experience that encompassed compassion and understanding. Truly a unique experience and revolutionary approach to therapy for me.
Odyssey curated a clinical experience that encompassed compassion and understanding. Truly a unique experience and revolutionary approach to therapy for me. I would encourage anyone who is considering this therapy to reach out to Odyssey immediately. It was an incredible journey and I felt cared for the entire time.
For personal growth, I would recommend this to anyone who is not into traditional therapy. I feel like this was three years of therapy in three weeks. Get ready for an eye-opening experience, but to truly get the most out of it, prepare to put some work in and keep your mind open. The facilitators will help you guide the way.
Thought provoking and the reframe I needed. I continue to experience my grief; however, I feel more connected to myself, my environment and those around me. I also felt so cared for by the facilitators and my co-attendees. It all felt quite natural and freeing.
Deeply aware of the beauty in the world and connection with my ancestors
This experience helped me realize I can live my life as myself and I am part of nature.
I now see my life and patterns more clearly.
It was valuable in helping me realize, confront, and move on from several things I was stuck on.
I highly recommend it as a modality for processing subconscious trauma, although it is very intense. I would advise careful preparation and ample time to process, as what comes out during the session will often only make sense as a 'solution' in hindsight.
Like ten years of therapy in a day.
I was able to feel things that in daily life I have not felt before - and these feelings have allowed me to achieve a new sense of calmness I desired.
It opened a doorway in my personal growth that traditional therapy and self-care, such as journaling and meditating, hadn't been able to access.
The experience seemed to force a lot of emotions and sadness to the surface, seemingly for release.
It helps you expand your mind by glimpsing other forms of consciousness and meaning that are not part of your everyday experience.
It's like I'm able to short circuit the negative thoughts spirals that have consumed me. I'm able to more clearly observe and recognize my own emotions in the moment and acknowledge them for what they are.
This medicine has helped me return to being closer to the best version of myself. Not fundamentally changing me, but rather helping me realize what I am. The ceremony was an intense experience, but I have realized the benefits in my life in the days and weeks following. The actual ceremony was important, but more like taking medicine which has since been working, than a silver bullet moment.
It helped to renew my feeling of involvement in the world around me. I came away from the experience with a fresh look at my life. I felt more open, positive, and involved with my surroundings.
It allowed me to make peace with certain things that had been nagging at me for awhile and allowed me to answer some recurring questions.
I wanted to explore psychedelics as a means to face and move past old trauma. This is one step in my process. I now won’t fear mushrooms as a tool in this toolkit.
Difficult to put into words. Definitely improved my executive function substantially. it's having ripples in my creative and social life as well.
For me the experience was not worth it. I was stuck in a state of limbo, I did not have enough psilocybin to get me to the state I needed so I was miserable the entire time. Hours of pure hell.
I didn't get any value from this experience. My experience was 8 hours of anxiety with no auditory or visual experience; it was like I drank tea with no psilocybin in it. I am still trying to process this and come to terms with the event. Very sad and disappointed with the outcome.

Customer Reviews
Josh was very precise and thoughtful with what was needed to move me through the process and come out on the other side with some meaningful interpretations of my experiences.
From the initial meetings to follow up sessions, Josh had been amazing in letting me speak and guiding me into embracing uncomfortable truths. During the session, Josh was there. I knew that from start to finish. He checked in and when things got a bit tough for me, held my hand, which I'll never forget.
"Josh is a gentle, kind, and open person. We were able to quickly form a connection of trust and respect, which was exactly what I needed, even though I didn’t realize it beforehand. Josh guided me before the session, equipping me with resources for preparation and sharing insight and experiences. This helped me conceive of and cultivate my intentions, allowing me to make the most of the experience.I had no prior experience with psychedelics or altered states of consciousness. Josh’s gentle reassurance gave me the courage to proceed. This experience has since become a rich source of learning that continues to shape my life. During the session, Josh was a reliable shomer (guardian). When fearful or challenging moments arose, his calming presence reassured me, enabling me to surrender to the process and allow meaningful learning to unfold. I wholeheartedly recommend Josh as a guide for anyone considering psilocybin therapy."
I am delighted to recommend Josh Goldstein, whose dedication and insightful guidance have been instrumental in my personal development journey. From the moment I began working with Josh, his exceptional ability to identify areas for improvement was evident.
"Sometime ago, I participated in Bendable Therapy’s first therapeutic psilocybin session. Josh’s interaction with me, his high level of knowledge, and his effort to help me build a real 'intention' were amazing! He guided me through my one-on-one journey, which lasted over six hours. Josh used his own soul and spirit to direct me to what I needed. I trusted him and felt completely safe. A day or two later, we met privately. With Josh’s in-depth knowledge, I was able to integrate the seeds of my memory from the journey into real, practical takeaways. His wisdom feels like it is from a higher order.I highly recommend Josh. He has the rare ability to balance grounded expertise with a deeply soulful approach to guidance."
"Josh has extensive personal experience with the theraputic use of psilocybin and is a seasoned facilitator. He is compassionate and very relatable in his approach and guidance through these journeys. I would recommend him to anyone seeking healing. I am a former first responder, and have difficulty opening my doors to people to help me. Josh was easy to allow in, due to his demeanor and professional approach."

Josh was very precise and thoughtful with what was needed to move me through the process and come out on the other side with some meaningful interpretations of my experiences.
From the initial meetings to follow up sessions, Josh had been amazing in letting me speak and guiding me into embracing uncomfortable truths. During the session, Josh was there. I knew that from start to finish. He checked in and when things got a bit tough for me, held my hand, which I'll never forget.
"Josh is a gentle, kind, and open person. We were able to quickly form a connection of trust and respect, which was exactly what I needed, even though I didn’t realize it beforehand. Josh guided me before the session, equipping me with resources for preparation and sharing insight and experiences. This helped me conceive of and cultivate my intentions, allowing me to make the most of the experience.I had no prior experience with psychedelics or altered states of consciousness. Josh’s gentle reassurance gave me the courage to proceed. This experience has since become a rich source of learning that continues to shape my life. During the session, Josh was a reliable shomer (guardian). When fearful or challenging moments arose, his calming presence reassured me, enabling me to surrender to the process and allow meaningful learning to unfold. I wholeheartedly recommend Josh as a guide for anyone considering psilocybin therapy."
I am delighted to recommend Josh Goldstein, whose dedication and insightful guidance have been instrumental in my personal development journey. From the moment I began working with Josh, his exceptional ability to identify areas for improvement was evident.
