The Provider crisis
Healthcare providers are some of the strongest, most dedicated individuals in the world. They are trained to serve with skill, compassion, and resilience. But beneath the professionalism, many carry silent burdens — not because they are weak, but because they care so deeply.
Doctors
Female physicians are up to 130% more likely to die by suicide compared to women in other professions, while male physicians have a suicide rate up to 40% higher than the general male population .
Nurses
Twice as likely as the general population to experience clinical depression.
Therapists
Report emotional exhaustion rates over 50 percent, even among those early in their careers.
Veterinarians
Face the highest suicide rate among health professions, attributed to factors like long work hours, high debt, and emotional strain
Healthcare Workers
Substance use disorder rates estimated between 10% to 15%, but often underreported due to stigma and career repercussions

What Burnout Looks
Like

Staring at a chart, feeling nothing.
Sitting in your car after shift, unable to move.
Snapping at your partner over nothing.
Wishing for a minor accident—just to get a break.
Numbing out with wine, screens, or silence.
Wondering where your empathy went.
Feeling like a ghost in your own life.

Psilocybin is the most studied mental health treatment in modern medicine.

FDA-Approved Breakthrough Treatment
With over 60 clinical trials, psilocybin is the most rigorously tested mental health treatment of all-time.
Can Be Effective in One Session
Unlike daily antidepressants or years of therapy, psilocybin therapy can deliver transformational results in just one session.
Can Work When Nothing Else Has
Talk therapy and medications don’t work for 20% to 60% of people. Psilocybin therapy has shown strong results for those who haven’t found relief from other interventions.
Effects Can Last Up To A Year
Clinical studies show that psilocybin therapy can have sustained effects for up to a year or more, especially when combined with integration therapy.
Uncovers The Root Cause
Unlike traditional meds that only mask symptoms, psilocybin helps you access buried emotions, process trauma, and heal at a deeper level—not just cover it up. It’s a catalyst for true emotional healing.

Built by healthcare providers for healthcare providers.

former medical director of 8 clinic health system

Dr. Frank Li

After years spent treating chronic pain, managing complex cases, and navigating the opioid crisis from inside the system, Dr. Frank Li hit a wall. The weight of suffering, the brokenness of the system, and the slow erosion of his own purpose pushed him into a spiral of burnout. A single, life-changing experience with psilocybin-assisted therapy cracked something open—and gave him access to clarity, compassion, and connection he hadn’t felt in years.

Mark Gaskill

Mark has spent decades in the field of mental health—as a front-line therapist, a systems leader, and an inspector general overseeing behavioral health care across two states. He’s seen where our systems fail the people who work within them. His own psilocybin experience dismantled years of emotional armor and reconnected him to the kind of presence and healing he thought he’d lost for good. Now, he’s bringing that same depth of care to fellow providers ready for something real.

FAQ

You ask, we answer

Apply to the program
Is this covered by insurance?

Not yet—but we hope that changes in the future. Because mushroom therapy isn’t federally recognized as medical treatment (yet), it’s not covered by insurance or HSA/FSA plans.

That said, we believe healing should be accessible. That’s why we created the Mushroom Therapy Access Fund, which offers partial scholarships to help reduce the cost for those who need it.

👉 Apply here for a scholarship if cost is a barrier.

Do I need to live in Oregon to do this legally?

Not at all. You just need to be 21 or older and willing to travel to Oregon. Mushroom therapy is legal here under state law, and people often fly in from across the country for a single session.

What if I’m on antidepressants or other medications?

Some medications—especially SSRIs—can reduce the effectiveness of mushroom therapy. During your intake and discovery call, we’ll review your medications and help you make an informed, safe decision.In some cases, tapering off may be suggested, but always with guidance from a medical professional.

Do I need a diagnosis or doctor’s referral?

Nope. You don’t need a diagnosis, prescription, or any referral. Oregon’s mushroom therapy program is designed to be accessible without jumping through medical hoops.As long as you’re 21+ and complete a short screening process, you’re eligible to participate.

Is this safe for people with trauma or anxiety?

In many cases, yes. Mushroom therapy can be especially helpful for people with emotional wounds, long-standing depression, or anxiety.

That said, safety is key. Our intake process includes medical and psychological screening to make sure this work is right for you.

What does the session actually feel like?

Most people describe it as deeply meaningful. You might feel calm, emotional, reflective, or connected—sometimes all at once. The experience typically lasts 4–6 hours, with a trained facilitator present the entire time.You’ll be supported in a private or group room with eyeshades and music, allowing you to turn inward while knowing you’re safe and held.

Will I lose control or have a “bad trip”?

This is a common fear, and it makes sense. But in this context, the goal isn’t to avoid hard emotions—it’s to meet them with care and support.

With proper preparation and guidance, even challenging moments can become the most healing. And you’ll never be alone—your facilitator is there with you the whole time.

Can I take the mushrooms home or do this on my own?

No. Mushrooms must be consumed on-site at a licensed Oregon service center. This isn’t recreational or at-home use—it’s state-regulated therapy in a safe, legal setting, with professional facilitators.

What’s the difference between group and private sessions?

Group sessions are more affordable and offer the support of a shared journey. You’ll have your own space and facilitator access, but share prep/integration with a small group.

Private sessions are one-on-one, offering focused care in a dedicated space. These are ideal for those with deeper emotional needs or who prefer a more private experience.

How long do the effects last? Will I need ongoing sessions?

One of the most powerful aspects of mushroom therapy is its lasting impact. Many people feel meaningful relief for months or even a year after just one or two sessions.

While integration support is key, most people don’t need repeated dosing to feel the shift. It’s not a long-term commitment—it’s a catalyst for change.

What does the session actually feel like?

Most people describe it as deeply meaningful. You might feel calm, emotional, reflective, or connected—sometimes all at once. The experience typically lasts 4–6 hours, with a trained facilitator present the entire time.You’ll be supported in a private or group room with eyeshades and music, allowing you to turn inward while knowing you’re safe and held.

I’m not spiritual or “woo”—is this still for me?

Yes. You don’t have to be spiritual or believe in anything mystical to benefit from this experience. Many people who consider themselves rational, skeptical, or science-minded still say it was one of the most meaningful experiences of their life.

You get to bring your own worldview—and the process meets you exactly where you are.

Is there a scholarship or sliding scale available?

Yes. We believe healing shouldn’t be limited by finances.

That’s why we offer scholarships through our Mushroom Therapy Access Fund. This fund helps reduce the cost of therapy for people who feel called to this work but can’t afford the full price.

We also offer sliding scale pricing on a case-by-case basis, depending on the facilitator and session format. If cost is a concern, please reach out or apply—we’ll do our best to make it work.
