What this practice is

Psilocybin facilitation for women at significant thresholds

Women come to this work carrying many different things — grief, a body that feels unfamiliar, a sense of being stuck, a question about who they are becoming. What they have in common is that the ordinary tools haven't been enough. Psilocybin, with skilled facilitation, can reach what other approaches cannot.

Grief, Identity & Life Transitions

The question "who am I now?" deserves more than coping strategies. Empty nesting, divorce, aging, the end of a chapter — psilocybin is particularly well-suited to the identity and meaning work that major transitions require.

Infertility & Reproductive Grief

Infertility grief happens largely in silence — without the rituals that accompany other losses. Psilocybin's capacity to access what ordinary consciousness cannot reach can be profoundly healing for grief that has nowhere else to go.

Hormonal Transitions & Midlife

Perimenopause and menopause aren't only physical — they can be profound identity events. When mood, sleep, and sense of self all shift at once, psilocybin can offer perspective shift and neuroplasticity that talk therapy alone often cannot.

Why a women's practice?

Working with a woman isn't just a preference — it changes what's possible

Psilocybin surfaces what lives in the deep interior — grief, fear, shame, longing, the stories we hold about ourselves as women. Who is in the room with you during that experience is not incidental. It shapes what you feel safe enough to meet.

Women navigating hormonal transitions, reproductive losses, or identity questions carry a particular kind of material. The felt sense of being truly understood by someone who inhabits the same landscape — not just clinically familiar with it — creates a quality of safety that allows for deeper work.

Anne brings both: clinical expertise in women's psychology and the lived understanding of a woman who has navigated her own thresholds.

About Dr. Anne Metz

Therapist first. Psilocybin facilitator second. Always both.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with a PhD in counselor education — not someone who took a weekend course. My clinical training spans years of practice in trauma, grief, life transitions, and complex mental health work. That foundation is what I bring to every psilocybin session.

I'm also Director of Fluence Training's natural medicine program in Colorado, serve on rulemaking subcommittees for New Mexico's Medical Psilocybin Program, and host The Psychedelic Skeptic podcast — where I bring rigorous scrutiny to a field that often deserves it.

I work with women because women's experiences — in bodies, in time, in grief — are too often undertreated and underestimated. This work is where I can do the most good.

FAQ

Common questions

Is psilocybin facilitation legal in Colorado?
Yes. Colorado voters passed Proposition 122 in 2022, creating a regulated program for the supervised therapeutic use of psilocybin. Sessions take place at state-licensed healing centers with state-licensed facilitators. I hold a Colorado Natural Medicine Facilitator in Training license (No. NMIT.0000254).
I work with women navigating significant thresholds — perimenopause and menopause, infertility and reproductive grief, other grief and loss, identity questions, and major life transitions. I'm a licensed professional counselor with a PhD in counselor education, so every stage of the work is clinically grounded.
No. New Mexico's medical psilocybin program is expected to begin in January 2027, with sessions in Taos for people with a qualifying diagnosis. Colorado sessions in Denver are available on a limited basis. Preparation and integration sessions are available to anyone via telehealth.
A full course of facilitation — two preparation sessions, one full-day medicine session, and two integration sessions — starts at $3,800 in Colorado, including access to the licensed healing center. Colorado sessions are available on a limited basis. New Mexico pricing will be set once the state's rules are final. Insurance is not accepted for facilitation services in Colorado.
