Peter Addy, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Portland OR
Licensed Portland ketamine therapy provider offering comprehensive treatment, including preparation, medicine sessions, and integration support. Specializing in chronic pain management through psychedelic therapy, with both in-person and online options available.
Initial consultations help determine fit and establish clear expectations for our work together. I maintain firm professional boundaries while creating warm, authentic therapeutic relationships that honor client autonomy and wisdom.
For ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, I collaborate with trusted medical providers who can evaluate appropriateness and provide prescriptions. The treatment process is comprehensive, starting with thorough preparation, followed by medicine sessions with my direct support, and concluding with integration therapy to help clients incorporate their insights into their daily lives. Throughout this process, I emphasize safety and informed consent and provide thorough support to ensure the well-being of my clients.
My practice explicitly affirms all identities while recognizing how systemic oppression impacts health outcomes. I work with insurance when possible, and my billing service handles all claims for clients with out-of-network benefits. I maintain active relationships with other healthcare providers to support comprehensive care coordination, ensuring you feel respected and valued.
As a licensed psychotherapist, my unique blend of personal insight and professional expertise, particularly in chronic pain and psychedelic integration, equips me to guide individuals toward new healing possibilities. My personal experience with fibromyalgia has provided me with a deep understanding of the daily struggles faced by those with chronic health conditions. This, coupled with my academic background in psychedelic research at Yale School of Medicine, has given me a profound knowledge of non-ordinary states of consciousness and their therapeutic potential.
I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. I studied holistic approaches to healing and the transformative potential of non-ordinary states. My research career has focused on psychedelic substances and consciousness, including founding the Yale Psychedelic Science Group. I've presented internationally on topics ranging from psychedelic science to spirituality and maintain an active role in advancing the field through writing and education.
Currently, I am based in Portland, Oregon, where I offer psychedelic-affirming therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. In addition to my clinical work, I am actively involved in developing educational programs that aim to facilitate preparation and integration. My practice is dedicated to helping adults with chronic pain and health conditions access legal psychedelic experiences through Oregon Psilocybin Services or ketamine therapy. I am committed to making innovative healing approaches more accessible while advocating for revolutionary healthcare delivery changes.
