Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy

Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy and counselling is an exciting and rapidly emerging field that's turning traditional mental health treatment on its head. 



It combines the potent power of psilocybin with the skill and expertise of trained therapists to provide a transformative healing experience that can help people break through emotional barriers and achieve profound insights.

Unlike traditional therapy, which can take years of talk-based approaches, psilocybin-assisted therapy can often produce life-changing results in just a few sessions. Participants are guided through the experience by trained therapists, who provide support and guidance to help them navigate the often intense and emotional journey that psilocybin can evoke.

The effects of psilocybin can last for hours, and during this time, participants can experience a range of emotions, insights and epiphanies that can transform their understanding of themselves and the world around them. It's often described as a "reset" for the brain, helping people break out of negative thought patterns and see the world with fresh eyes.

At Bluestem, we're at the forefront of this exciting new field, developing safe and effective treatments that harness the power of psilocybin to help people heal and grow. Our team of trained therapists and researchers are passionate about transforming the world of mental health, and we believe that psilocybin-assisted therapy is a game-changing treatment option that has the potential to help millions of people.

So, if you're looking for a new approach to therapy that's powerful, transformative, and backed by cutting-edge science, look no further than Bluestem. Join us on our mission to change the world of mental health, one psilocybin-assisted therapy session at a time.

How psilocybin works on the brain

Psilocybin is a fascinating compound that works by interacting with key receptors in the brain to produce a range of powerful and often transformative effects. When ingested, psilocybin is converted into psilocin, which then binds to specific serotonin receptors in the brain, resulting in changes in perception, mood, and cognition.

These changes can be profound, with many people reporting feelings of euphoria, altered perception of time and space, and a deep sense of interconnectedness with themselves and the world around them. Research has also shown that psilocybin can produce lasting changes in brain function, particularly in areas of the brain involved in emotional processing, cognitive flexibility, and sense of self.

So, how does psilocybin produce these effects? One theory is that it disrupts the default mode network (DMN), a network of brain regions that's involved in self-referential processing and rumination. By doing so, it allows people to break out of habitual thought patterns and see things from a fresh perspective, leading to increased creativity, empathy, and insight.

At Bluestem, we're dedicated to understanding the mechanisms behind psilocybin's effects on the brain and developing safe and effective treatments that harness its potential for mental health and wellbeing.

We're committed to working with the latest research and cutting-edge technology to advance the field of psilocybin research and bring the benefits of this powerful compound to those who need it most.

So, whether you're interested in exploring the potential of psilocybin for personal growth and exploration or seeking natural, plant-based treatments for mental health issues, Bluestem is your go-to source for cutting-edge research and innovative solutions. Join us on our mission to unlock the full potential of psilocybin and transform the world of medicine and therapy.

Health Canada's Special Access Program

The use of psilocybin for therapeutic purposes is rapidly gaining acceptance and recognition among medical professionals and patients alike. For individuals who are seeking alternative treatment options, Health Canada's Special Access Program (SAP) can provide access to psilocybin under certain circumstances.

The SAP allows healthcare practitioners to request access to controlled substances for patients who have serious or life-threatening conditions, and where conventional treatments have been ineffective or have resulted in adverse side effects. Psilocybin is one of the substances that can be requested under the SAP.

To request access to psilocybin through the SAP, a healthcare practitioner must submit a detailed application outlining the patient's medical history, treatment history, and rationale for the use of psilocybin. Once the application is approved, the practitioner can obtain psilocybin from a licensed dealer and administer it to the patient under strict supervision.

At Bluestem, we're committed to supporting healthcare practitioners and patients who are exploring the potential benefits of psilocybin for therapeutic purposes. We can provide guidance and support throughout the SAP application process, as well as quality-controlled psilocybin products for use in treatment.

If you're interested in exploring the potential benefits of psilocybin for therapeutic purposes, the SAP may be a viable option. Our team of experts is here to help you navigate the process and ensure that you have access to safe and effective psilocybin products. Together, we can work towards a brighter future of mental health and well-being.
