When Nico sat across from his psychiatrist after trying yet another antidepressant that didn’t work, he wasn’t angry—he was numb. Thirty years of depression had taught him to live in grayscale. Therapy, medications, even TMS had provided temporary relief, but the weight always returned. It wasn’t until a quiet internal whisper asked, “What if there’s something else?” that the path shifted.
That question led him to psychedelic therapy.
It didn’t “fix” everything. But it opened a door. It helped him see he didn’t need to walk alone.
His wife, Susan, watched with curiosity, then caution. She’d never taken a substance in her life. But she’d spent decades supporting others’ healing through movement and embodiment. Together, they began a conversation—not just about Nico’s healing, but about how two people could grow beside each other through psychedelic work. That conversation became the foundation for JourneyŌM.
Psychedelic Therapy Is Not a Solo Sport
One of the biggest myths in psychedelic therapy is that it’s a solo path. You take the medicine, see the visions, come back changed.
But in truth, healing is relational. When one person journeys, the ripple moves outward.
Susan didn’t just witness Nico’s transformation—she was affected by it. And over time, she felt called to explore her own healing. She began working with microdosing and intentional practice, learning to hold the discomfort and beauty of inner inquiry.
This is the heart of JourneyŌM: not just matching seekers with guides, but honoring the full ecosystem of transformation—before, during, and long after the journey itself.
The Match Is the Medicine
When Nico and Susan began referring friends to psychedelic guides, they noticed something critical: the most powerful experiences didn’t depend on the medicine alone. They depended on the match.
Did the guide feel trustworthy? Were they trauma-informed? Could they hold complexity with compassion?
Most seekers had no way to answer these questions. Online directories lacked context. Referrals felt random. People were being asked to trust their soul with someone they’d never met.
So Nico and Susan started doing what no one else was doing: meeting guides in person. Sitting with them. Asking real questions about lineage, training, lived experience, and integrity. Over time, they built a network of over 100 vetted guides across 30+ states.
Each guide was chosen not just for credentials, but for how they made people feel: safe, seen, and supported.
A Concierge Model for Psychedelic Support
JourneyŌM is not a directory. It’s not a retreat. It’s not a psychedelic clinic.
It’s a concierge matching service rooted in care.
Here’s how it works:
- You begin with a thoughtful assessment that explores your goals, readiness, and history.
- You schedule a one-hour consultation—where Nico and Susan personally walk with you through your story.
- You receive two curated guide referrals based on your unique alignment—not an algorithm.
You choose your path. You’re not alone.
And because healing doesn’t stop after the journey, JourneyŌM offers integration support, community referrals, and resources designed to help your insights land in real life.
Healing the Whole Circle
One of Susan’s greatest insights has been this: healing doesn’t belong only to the journeyer. It belongs to the whole circle.
She often found herself supporting Nico without a roadmap. Where was the support for the supporters?
That question birthed JourneyŌM’s commitment to Allies—spouses, friends, caregivers, and chosen family who walk beside the seeker. They’re developing integration resources and circles for these supporters, because healing is not just individual—it’s communal.
Psychedelic therapy may open a doorway. But it’s what happens after, in the relationship, the reflection, and the return—that makes the change last.
Integration Is Where the Real Work Begins
Nico often says, “The journey didn’t change me. It showed me what needed changing.” That’s why JourneyŌM puts so much emphasis on integration—not just as an idea, but as a practice.
Whether it’s helping men find a supportive group, guiding a couple through post-journey reconnection, or connecting a seeker to ongoing spiritual mentorship, integration isn’t an afterthought.
It’s the heart of the work.
JourneyŌM’s vision isn’t just about safe psychedelic therapy. It’s about sustained transformation. And that takes time, care, and trusted relationships.
Final Thoughts: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
The path to healing doesn’t start with a psychedelic—it starts with a question. A longing. A quiet sense that there must be more.
If you’ve found yourself at that threshold, wondering how to move forward—JourneyŌM is here.
They’ve walked this path. They’ve built something they wish they’d had. And they’re ready to walk beside you.
Because healing isn’t just personal. It’s shared. And every journey deserves a safe beginning.
