Psychedelic Integration
Psychological support to prepare for a psychedelic experience or make sense of one afterward.
Preparation and support after an experience
Dr. Bianca Hur provides psychological preparation and integration in Irvine and, when appropriate, through telehealth for people in California. Integration offers space to make sense of a previous altered-state experience, including one that felt confusing, overwhelming or unfinished.
The focus is psychological care. Prescribing, administration and medical monitoring belong to appropriately licensed medical providers. Any medicine-assisted component must be legally and clinically appropriate.
What preparation can explore
Preparation looks at your intentions, hopes, fears, history, resources and readiness. Grounding, trust and aftercare are part of planning the broader therapeutic process.
What integration can involve
Together, we explore emotions, memories and insights, and how they connect with boundaries, relationships, values and everyday choices. There is no requirement to find a breakthrough or force a particular meaning.
The work draws on psychotherapy, mindfulness and somatic awareness: noticing sensations and responses in your body. Depending on your needs, sessions may include breath and grounding, imagery, experiential work and reflection.
Discuss whether this fits
People may seek support with grief, transitions, identity or meaning, avoidance, shame, self-criticism and recurring patterns. This approach is not appropriate for everyone; screening and discussion of risks and benefits matter.
A complimentary 15-minute consultation can clarify the psychological support you want. Ask about suitability, session format, fees and the next step. For the distinct psychological support offered around ketamine treatment, explore ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
