Offerings
Somatic Psychotherapy
-
You may understand your patterns and still find yourself pushing past exhaustion, putting others first, or losing touch with what you want. Somatic psychotherapy brings attention to how those patterns live in your body, alongside your thoughts and emotions. Together, we explore what it means to listen to yourself and feel more at home in your own experience.
-
We begin with what’s happening for you. As we talk, we may notice a held breath, tension, or an impulse to pull away. Drawing on mindfulness, parts work, and depth-oriented therapy, we follow what emerges at a pace we find together. Your body’s organic intelligence helps guide our work toward greater self-trust and compassion.
-
Psychotherapy is available to adults in person in SW Portland and virtually across Oregon. Before beginning, we’ll discuss your needs and whether this approach is a good fit.
Psychedelic Integration Coaching
-
A psychedelic or non-ordinary experience may leave you with something meaningful, confusing, or difficult to put into words. Perhaps something opened up, but you’re unsure how it fits into your everyday life. Integration support offers room to explore what happened and what needs attention now, without rushing to make sense of it all.
-
You don’t need a clear story or a profound insight to begin. We can make room for uncertainty, notice how the experience feels in your body, and explore what it brings into focus in your relationships or daily life. Your own understanding leads the process, including whether there are changes you want to make.
-
Psychedelic integration coaching is offered outside of clinical psychotherapy and may be provided to clients both within and outside the state of Oregon. Coaching services are not therapy. In this role, I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions, provide psychotherapy, or practice under my clinical license. Integration coaching is offered under my coaching certification and focuses on reflection, education, preparation, harm reduction, and support with meaning-making and integration.
Integration coaching does not include providing, administering, sourcing, selling, or facilitating access to psychedelic substances. I cannot connect you with people who sell or provide mushrooms or other psychedelic substances, assist with purchasing them, or arrange access to them. We will clarify the scope and limits of our work before beginning.
Psilocybin Facilitation
-
If you’re considering a psilocybin experience, you may feel curious and uncertain about what to expect. Facilitation offers support as you prepare, during your experience, and as you reflect afterward. We begin with your questions and intentions, with room to consider whether this is right for you.
-
Preparation gives us time to discuss your hopes, concerns, and support needs. During your psilocybin session, you have a facilitator present without being directed toward a particular experience or interpretation. Afterward, integration offers space to reflect on what arose and how you want to carry it into your life.
-
Psilocybin facilitation is offered through Oregon’s regulated psilocybin services program. Administration sessions take place at a licensed service center following preparation and eligibility screening. Psilocybin administration sessions are separate from psychotherapy, and no particular outcome is guaranteed.
“I didn’t realize how disconnected I had become. With Elyse’s support, I learned how to slow down, listen inward, and feel more steady in my day-to-day life.”

Investment Details
-
My session rate is offered on a sliding scale, with standard rates of $175–$200 per session. A limited number of $150 sliding-scale spots are available by application.
I ask that clients choose the rate that best reflects their current financial reality and capacity. This allows me to offer sustainable care while also holding space for greater accessibility when possible.
For clients applying for the $150 rate, I offer a small number of reduced-fee spots at a time. These spots are reviewed periodically to ensure fairness and availability.
-
I work in 3-month containers, designed to support steadiness, continuity, and meaningful integration over time.
Each container includes:
3 sessions per month
Ongoing reflection and assessment throughout the three months
A dedicated 3-month check-in to reflect on progress, needs, and next steps
This structure supports depth without urgency and allows us to assess fit and direction thoughtfully, rather than rushing or working session-to-session.
-
I use the Green Bottle sliding scale method, which invites clients to consider their overall financial experience rather than income alone. This approach looks at access to stability, savings, flexibility, and support, not just numbers on paper.
In general:
Those with greater financial stability and access are encouraged to pay toward the higher end of the scale.
Those experiencing more financial strain may apply for the reduced rate.
You can view the Green Bottle framework for guidance as you reflect on where you fall on the sliding scale:

I trust clients to engage this process with honesty and care. If you are unsure where you fall, we can discuss this during a consultation.
-
Payment is due at the time of each session unless otherwise arranged.
I do not currently accept insurance.
Payment is processed securely via debit, credit, HSA or FSA card.
Additional payment details and options can be discussed during your consultation.
If you have questions about rates, containers, or payment structure, I’m happy to address them before we begin working together.
