What This Is
A guided, legal psilocybin experience in Oregon.
Oregon’s Measure 109 created the first regulated psilocybin services program in the United States. Under that framework, licensed facilitators work with clients in licensed service centers — not in homes, not in informal settings, not in a legal gray area.
This isn’t clinical therapy in the traditional sense. There’s no diagnosis, no prescription, no ongoing treatment relationship. What it is: a structured, guided experience with a licensed facilitator — preparation beforehand, supported presence during the session, and integration afterward.
People come to this because something in their life hasn’t responded to what they’ve already tried. The goal isn’t transformation for its own sake. It’s clarity, support, and structure around an experience that can open things that have been hard to reach.
Who This Is For
People who have tried other things.
That usually looks like:
Most people who reach out are dealing with something that has been around a long time — depression, anxiety, PTSD, a sense of being stuck that hasn’t responded to what they’ve already done. They’ve often tried therapy, medication, or both. They’re not looking for a dramatic fix. They’re looking for something that works differently.
This tends to be a good fit for people who are willing to prepare seriously, who can engage with intensity without needing to avoid it, and who aren’t in active crisis. The preparation process is where the specifics get worked through.
When this may not be the right fit
- —People in active psychiatric crisis
- —Personal or family history of psychosis or bipolar I
- —Certain medications (MAOIs, lithium, and others — addressed during preparation)
- —People looking for a recreational experience
These are not arbitrary restrictions. The screening process exists because context and safety matter.
The Process
Four parts, done in sequence.
Discovery Call
A free fifteen-minute conversation to figure out if this is a good fit. No commitment required — just an honest look at where you are, what you’re looking for, and whether this makes sense.
Preparation
Before any session, you and Nate work through your history, intentions, and concerns. This isn’t a formality — it shapes what happens on session day and determines whether it makes sense to move forward.
Session
Sessions take place at a licensed service center in Oregon. Nate is present the entire time. A session typically runs four to six hours. The psilocybin is lab-tested and sourced through Oregon’s regulated supply chain.
Integration
After the session, there’s dedicated time to work with what came up. What you do with the experience afterward tends to matter as much as the session itself.
Legality and Licensing
Why people specifically look for psilocybin therapy in Oregon.
Oregon is the only state with a functioning regulated framework for psilocybin services. Measure 109, passed in 2020 and implemented starting in 2023, created a licensing system administered by the Oregon Health Authority — covering facilitators, service centers, and the psilocybin supply chain.
That matters for a specific reason: safety, screening, and structure aren’t optional in a regulated setting. Licensed facilitators must complete state-approved training and operate under ongoing OHA oversight. Sessions happen in licensed service centers with regulated products. The whole process is designed around the idea that context and accountability change outcomes.
People who specifically seek out psilocybin therapy in Oregon are often looking for exactly that — not a gray-area experience, but something with real structure behind it.

About Nate
Licensed. And has been where you might be.
Nate Forest is a licensed psilocybin facilitator under Oregon Measure 109. He completed a state-approved training program, meets the OHA’s licensing requirements, and works within Oregon’s regulated framework.
He’s also a TBI survivor. In 2008, a serious car accident left him navigating a traumatic brain injury and the kind of internal struggle that doesn’t respond to time or effort alone. He spent years trying different approaches before finding something that helped.
That experience is part of how he works. He’s not guiding from theory — he understands what it feels like to have tried things that didn’t work, and to still be looking.
Common questions
Is psilocybin therapy legal in Oregon?
Yes. Oregon Measure 109 created the first regulated psilocybin services program in the United States. Nate is a licensed facilitator under the Oregon Health Authority, and every session takes place at a licensed service center. This is a regulated, legal service — not a gray-area experience.
Is this the same as clinical therapy?
No. Psilocybin facilitation isn’t clinical therapy. There’s no diagnosis, no treatment plan, and no ongoing therapeutic relationship. It’s a structured, guided experience — preparation, a supported session, and integration afterward. The facilitator’s role is presence and safety, not clinical treatment.
Where do sessions happen?
At a licensed service center in Oregon. Sessions don’t take place in private homes or informal settings — that’s part of what Oregon’s regulatory framework requires.
Do I need experience with psilocybin first?
No. Most people Nate works with haven’t used psilocybin before. Prior experience doesn’t make a session more effective. What matters more is the preparation process and whether you’re in a stable place to engage with what comes up.
How long does a session take?
A session typically runs four to six hours. Plan to have the rest of the day clear — you won’t be driving yourself home.
Is it covered by insurance?
Not currently. Psilocybin services aren’t covered by insurance at this time.
What does the process cost?
Oregon’s regulated model separates costs into three parts: a facilitator fee, a service center fee, and a psilocybin fee based on dosage. These are paid separately. See the rates page for specific pricing.
How do I know if this is a fit?
The discovery call is the right place to start. It’s fifteen minutes, free, and there’s no commitment on either side. Nate will ask about what you’re carrying and what you’re hoping for, and will tell you honestly whether this seems like the right fit.
