Lakeshore Psychedelic Therapy

Lakeshore Psychedelic Therapy is a Chicago-based licensed clinical social work (LCSW) practice specializing in psychedelic-assisted therapy preparation and integration. Illinois does not have a regulated psilocybin access program, and the practice explicitly does not facilitate or refer for illegal activities. Lakeshore serves Chicago-area clients who have accessed or are planning to access legal psilocybin through Oregon service centers, Colorado healing centers, Jamaica retreats, or clinical trials. The practice's primary specialties are preparation therapy (helping clients clarify intentions, address contraindications, and develop psychological readiness before legal sessions) and integration therapy (processing experiences after sessions using IFS, EMDR, and somatic approaches). Group integration circles meet biweekly at $50/session — one of the most affordable professional integration options in the Midwest. Lakeshore also accepts referrals from the Chicago Psychedelic Healing and Spirituality Community, Psychedelics in Recovery Chicago, and the University of Chicago's clinical trial program.
