INTEGRATING PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH INDIGENOUS
​MEDICINES AND PSYCHEDELICS

​If you are reading this, chances are that you have had less than ideal experiences with currently available psychiatric treatments. Intolerable side effects from medications coupled with their inability to facilitate lasting transformation and healing have been nothing short of discouraging.
THE EMERGENCE OF NEW TREATMENT OPTIONS
As we open our minds to these new plant-based and psychedelic treatment options, hope can re-emerge. Looking for the opportunity to experience them in a safe and professionally guided environment is of the utmost importance as safety and setting are paramount to the process.  
​
OUR PROGRAM
Our program combines the nurturing value of  psychotherapy with the transformative power of the new treatment options and  is ideally suited to the person ready to take their healing journey to a new level.

ABOUT EXPAND

My name is Mitchell Cogan, founder and psychotherapist specializing in the integration of mind & body wellness with evidence-based psycho dynamic modalities. 

​With over a decade of clinical experience treating those suffering with depression, anxiety, and deeply ingrained traumas I have continually seen first-hand how psychedelics hold the potential to be a transformative healing tool.

​These psychoactive compounds provide portals into what one needs to see rather than what one wants to see. While not for everyone,  what we call Indigenous medicines, provide real hope for those motivated to experience a deeper sense of purpose, internal peace, and contentment.
OUR TREATMENT TEAM
As a way to make these therapeutic compounds more accessible I have assembled a clinically holistic treatment team consisting of myself and highly qualified guides in Costa Rica experienced in the world of psychedelics and indigenous medicines. 

Expand is now offering  one to three day individually tailored retreat package where you can safely experience and integrate psychedelic medicines into your personal healing journey. New ways of navigating the world and your relationships await. 

THE MEDICINE CHEST

Our  individually tailored intensive utilizes up to six indigenous  and psychedelic medicines. Coupled with flexible preparation and integration sessions, this becomes an opportunity to safely immerse yourself in this exciting new healing modality.

These medicines are uniquely suited for those that desire to get to the root of their pain and begin reprogramming deeply entrenched, maladaptive belief systems.
​
Unlike current medication alternatives which tend to simply put spackle on a symptom , plant-based and psychedelic medications act as a gradual facilitator of deep and lasting change.
