Do you love someone suffering from addiction, depression, and/or anxiety? Most of us do. These common conditions seem to have become even more prevalent during the pandemic and the political/social turmoil in recent years. Psilocybin-assisted counseling has proven to be effective in treating these conditions and other mental illnesses.

Washington state ranks 3rd in the nation for mental illness among adults (nearly 24% of the population), and a government survey ranked Washington 49th  in the nation for psychiatric bed capacity. State payments to five private psychiatric hospitals nearly tripled over five years, totaling almost $67 million in 2018, and the near-term projection (including the construction of additional hospitals) totals $1 billion. With the mental healthcare crisis on the rise and a significant shortage of resources, our state and our nation clearly need more effective treatment options.
