Preparation and Integration Sessions
Psychedelic Smile Therapy
Preparation & Integration Support for Psychedelic, Ketamine, and Plant Medicine Experiences
At Balanced Life Therapy Group, we created Psychedelic Smile Therapy to offer specialized, therapist-led support for individuals exploring psychedelic, ketamine, or plant medicine journeys as part of their healing process. Whether you're working with a prescriber, a ceremonial guide, or engaging in personal exploration, these sessions are designed to help you prepare with intention and integrate with care.
Sessions are led by Nicole Scotto, LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy. Nicole brings clinical insight, trauma-informed care, and a deep respect for the transformative potential of these experiences.
What to Expect: Preparation & Integration Sessions
Preparation Sessions Before your journey, Nicole will help you:
Clarify your intentions and desired outcomes
Explore emotional readiness and potential challenges
Establish grounding tools and safety practices
Support a mindset of curiosity, compassion, and openness
Integration Sessions After your experience, Nicole will guide you to:
Reflect on and process insights, emotions, and imagery
Gently unpack complex or difficult material
Translate your experience into personal growth and meaningful life changes
Support emotional regulation, perspective shifts, and intentional self-care
These sessions are ideal for those working with ketamine, psilocybin, ayahuasca, MDMA (in clinical trials), San Pedro, or other psychedelic and plant medicines.

Is Psychedelic Smile Therapy Right for You?
This work may be a good fit if you:
Are preparing for or integrating ketamine-assisted therapy
Are working with plant medicines such as ayahuasca, psilocybin, or San Pedro
Have had a meaningful or challenging psychedelic experience and want help understanding it
Are exploring your emotional readiness for a journey
Want to integrate personal, spiritual, or therapeutic insights into your daily life
Transformative Experiences Deserve Thoughtful Integration
Psychedelic and plant medicine journeys can be powerful catalysts for healing—but without integration, insights can fade or feel overwhelming. With Psychedelic Smile Therapy, Nicole offers grounded, professional, and compassionate support to help you transform a meaningful moment into lasting change.
