Psychedelic Preparation

Building trust with your guide, understanding what you're bringing, and knowing what to expect.

The work that comes first

Psychedelic practitioners at Bloom Integrated Health start with principles drawn from the Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration[1] framework, preparing patients for psychedelic treatment by first identifying working to reduce mental, emotional and physical risks of psychedelic treatment.

The preparation process emphasizes patient autonomy throughout, functioning to help the individual "expand their options and engage in thoughtful individual decision-making and goal-setting[1]".

We help set a loose framework of expectations for a potentially life-changing set of experiences, delving into concerns, memories, and triggers that a psychedelic experience emight pull. This sets the stage for psychedelic integration sessions to follow, where we belive much of the long term benefits of psychedleic therapy take root.

PHRI represents a shift away from assessment limited to untoward outcomes of psychedelic use and abstinence-based addiction treatment paradigms, and toward a stance of compassionate, destigmatizing acceptance of patients' choices.
— Gorman, Nielsen, et al "Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration"

The very first step

At least with us.

Preparation and aftercare are psychotherapy and are open to anyone.

If you are interested in guided sessions at Bloom Integrated Health, one more thing comes first: a conversation and evaluation for membership in the Saceed Bloom Church Collective.

Whatever you want to ask — whether this is right for you, what a session is actually like, which medicine, whether the prescription you are already on is a problem — the answer starts the same way. Call or text 727-490-9911 or click below schedule your evaluation.

The evaluation is a full medical review, and it is the reason we can say yes to anyone at all. Psychedelics are not safe for everyone: a personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder; cardiovascular or respiratory conditions; pregnancy or breastfeeding; active substance-use issues; and a number of psychiatric medications — antidepressants especially — can each make someone an unsuitable candidate. We would far rather find that out with you at the beginning than have you find it out during a session.

Members of Sacred Bloom who are approved for this work are the only people who take part in guided sessions, ceremonies or retreats.

I have been working with Bionic Bloom for about a year now and the treatment I've received has been nothing short of life-changing. I was able to make major changes in my life that I had previously struggled with for over 10 years on my own and with other therapists and psychiatrists. The help I've gotten from Bionic Bloom has been very effective for me.

I've been on my personal growth journey about a decade now. I have a pretty intense, sometimes traumatic, day job. Besides that, life has its own curveballs that it likes to throw at you at times. Bionic Bloom has proven to be, hands down, the best therapy office I've come across. I've been coming here for the past year. I can truly say that My time spent here has been the most healing. All of the staff here are truly fantastic. They are kind, understanding, and really care about you as an individual. I can't recommend bionic boom enough. Thank you all for what you do!

My girlfriend recommended this clinic to me. I have to say, as someone who is experienced in the psychedelic therapy world and tried many different sacraments, this is the most accessible and cheapest route I know of personally. Some of the products are pretty expensive up front, but the long term benefit and use from them rivals pretty much any pharmaceutical I've taken. They also have some really reasonably priced products as well, but I haven't personally tried some of them yet. The people I've dealt with in their office have all been SUPER kind to me, and I always feel welcome. If I've ever run into any problem, it is usually solved in a reasonable amount of time and I feel like they actually care to fix it and make me feel accommodated. Very thankful I found them.

Bionic Bloom has not only been a lifesaver for myself, but my entire family. Previously misdiagnosed and incorrectly overmedicated, I stumbled across Dr. Fischer on Psychology Today. Before Dr. Fischer I was taking 8 medications a day for mental problems I did not have, and was thrown around from Dr. to Dr. ignoring my actual issues, calling me a “drug seeker” even though I was begging to get off these medications. Since then I've not only been properly diagnosed, but gotten the help I ACTUALLY need. No medication needed, just actual help and care. My husband has also since began seeing a therapist in this practice because of similar reasons: drs ignoring the actual issues and using their clients for money. This is a place you will NOT have those issues, no matter who in the practice you see. Everyone works together in the name of care for the patients. On top of that Dr. Fischer recognized I was struggling to get proper care and help for my autistic children, and has done everything she could in her power to help. My son sees Dr. Carey and she's been such a life saver for him. There will always be issues with trying to figure out the electronic side of things(video calls, insurance confusion, etc.) no matter where you go, but Dr. Fischer and her practice have always tried their hardest to avoid those issues, and if they do happen, fix it to the best of their abilities. I would and have recommend this practice and these people to anyone I could, to get the care for their mental health and peace that they deserve.

If you have tried other therapy practices in the past that left you feeling that therapy might not be for you, I implore you to give Bionic Bloom a go. I'm a huge advocate for therapy, as I have done therapy on and off my entire life. Bionic Bloom is welcoming, warm and is like energy for my tired, achy soul. The entire staff is compassionate, kind and I am so thankful I followed my gut and decided to reach out to start back in therapy here. I've found my new therapy home. A place where I feel like I can be my 100% unfiltered self, and process the traumas of being a human in this wild world in such a positive and healing way. The space itself is located on the edge of down town. I find parking a block away is easiest for me vs. parking in a garage. The actual location itself feels like you are walking into a zen yoga studio. The owners have really done an amazing job making this spot feel like a retreat from the day to day. I've seen Monica a handful of times now and already feel like I was guided there to continue growing and learning about myself. I'll also be seeing the doctor there as well. One of my favorite therapists in the past told me once that it was important to try different therapists, as each one has different things they can teach and offer. I've found this to be true, but because it's so hard to find ONE therapist I feel comfortable around, it's always turned into me going periods of time without a therapist while I search for "the right fit". Bionic Bloom offers many different therapy types, and while I 150% adore Monica, I also have the option of switching it up with different therapists if I would like to that offer other modalities. That's pretty incredible in my book. Anyways, if you have never done therapy and this is the first place you are trying - it will forever be your gold standard. If you are returning to therapy or looking to switch, this place will exceed your expectations. I've been raving to my friends about how great this place is!!!
