SAFETY INFORMATION

At InnerMost, every step—screening, preparation, therapy, and integration is designed to minimize risks and provide the structure for meaningful healing. Psychedelic-assisted therapy offers great promise, but we take its risks seriously.


Our thorough screening includes medical assessments, intake calls, and a review of your health, history, medications, and potential contraindications to ensure this approach is right for you. We also assess and address specific risks, including:

  • Medical Conditions & Drug Interactions:

    Some medications, like SSRIs or MAOIs, can interact dangerously with psychedelic compounds.

  • Substance Use History

    Individuals with active addictions may be at higher risk for unhealthy use or relapse, particularly with medicines like ketamine.

  • Trauma History

    Psychedelics can surface intense emotions and memories; with preparation and skilled therapeutic support, these challenges can often be navigated safely.

  • Psychological Vulnerability

    Those with conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or a family history of psychosis may face heightened risks and are generally not recommended for psychedelic therapy at this time.
