PSYCHEDELIC & DEPTH-ORIENTED SERVICES
More than symptom management.
You do not need to arrive with the right words or a clear plan. We can begin with what is asking for your attention.
01
Psychedelic preparation
Prepare psychologically for an upcoming psychedelic experience by exploring intentions, expectations, concerns, and emotional readiness.
02
Psychedelic integration
Trauma- and evidence-informed support before and after psychedelic experiences—so insight can become something you live.
03
Dream work psychology
Explore the images, patterns, and emotions of the unconscious—and bring their guidance into waking life.
04
Depth-oriented psychotherapy
Meet recurring patterns, identity shifts, emotional numbness, and meaningful life transitions with patient attention.

WHY I CREATED GAIA
I created Gaia because deeper experiences deserve deeper support.
More people are exploring psychedelic experiences, but too many are doing it without enough professional support before or after the journey.
I wanted to create the kind of support I felt was missing — a bridge between the spiritual and shamanic dimensions of psychedelic work and the grounding, structure, and psychological depth of professional therapy.
Gaia brings together psychedelic preparation and integration, depth psychology, and dream work to help people understand what surfaces, work with it meaningfully, and carry those insights into everyday life.
The experience may open the door.
The deeper work is learning how to live what it revealed.
What you can expect

Psychological Support Before and After — Not Psychedelic Facilitation
Gaia Psychotherapy provides preparation and integration counselling only — we do not facilitate, source, or endorse illegal substances. Sessions support your psychological processing before or after experiences that may occur in legal contexts, including clinical trials, decriminalized jurisdictions, or legal retreats abroad.
Gaia does not provide psychedelic substances, psychedelic-assisted treatment, retreat referrals, or advice on obtaining controlled substances.
Real questions. Straight answers.
How can counselling help me prepare for a psychedelic experience?
- Preparation counselling can help you clarify your intentions, explore expectations and concerns, and consider the emotional and psychological material that may arise. The goal is to help you approach the experience with greater awareness and grounded preparation.
What is psychedelic integration counselling?
Psychedelic integration counselling helps you make sense of insights, emotions, memories, or challenges that emerge after a psychedelic experience and explore how they may connect with your everyday life, relationships, and personal growth.
What is dream work therapy?
- Dream work uses dreams, recurring images, emotions, and symbols as material for therapeutic exploration. Rather than assigning fixed meanings, we look at what the dream may reveal about patterns, conflicts, relationships, or parts of your inner life.
How is dream work different from dream interpretation?
- Dream interpretation often focuses on explaining what a symbol “means.” Dream work is more collaborative. We explore your associations, emotions, life context, and recurring themes to understand what the dream may be expressing for you personally.
What is depth-oriented psychotherapy?
- Depth-oriented psychotherapy looks beyond immediate symptoms to explore recurring patterns, relationships, emotions, identity, dreams, and unconscious influences that may be shaping your experience.
How is depth-oriented therapy different from traditional therapy?
Depth-oriented therapy places greater emphasis on understanding the deeper patterns and meanings beneath a problem, not only reducing the immediate symptom. The work can include reflection, emotional awareness, dreams, relationships, body awareness, and unconscious material.
Are counselling sessions online for clients in Vancouver and BC?
- Yes. Sessions are offered online, allowing clients in Vancouver and throughout British Columbia to attend from a private location that works for them. Gaia is an online practice rather than a physical Vancouver counselling office.
What happens during the free 20-minute consultation?
- It is a brief, confidential conversation where you can share what is bringing you to counselling, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit. There is no obligation to continue.
