Going Beyond, PLLC
Natural Medicine Facilitation & Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy
Going Beyond is the sister of Beyond the Mind Psychotherapy
At Going Beyond, we offer psilocybin-assisted therapy, psychedelic preparation and integration, and group psilocybin experiences in collaboration with local Colorado Healing Centers.
Healing Centers are the state approved licensed locations at which Natural Medicine Facilitation (psilocybin) can be legally offered in Colorado.
As a licensed Natural Medicine in Training facilitator, Parad K Meier, NMIT, can now provide psilocybin-assisted therapy at specific healing center locations.
If you are interested in experiencing a psilocybin-assisted therapy session, please reach out and we can help guide you to available options and locations.
If you are interested in joining a group psilocybin-assisted journey, sign up for the newsletter and be the first to know when events are scheduled.
Psychedelic Preparation
Preparation is a necessary ingredient for a psilocybin-assisted journey, and really helps us set the stage.
Each Healing Center will have it’s own intake process, where you’ll be screened to be sure that a psilocybin journey is safe and recommended for you. From there you’ll be referred to a facilitator (you can let them know you’d like to work with me, if that’s of interest to you).
Once you and I are connected, we will usually set up at least two 60-minute preparation meetings. We can set up more than that if either one of us feels that is necessary or helpful to prepare you for the psilocybin experience. These preparation meetings will give us the time to get to know each other, and see what kind of preparation will most benefit your upcoming journey.
Generally preparation sessions are provided remotely.
Psychedelic Integration
Integration is also a meaningful and necessary element of a psilocybin-assisted journey. An integration session will be set up a few days after your psilocybin experience.
Integration is a time for us to connect after your experience with psilocybin, so that we can review and process your experience, and figure out what it might mean to bring that experience forward into your life.
Generally one or two integration sessions will be included as a part of the psilocybin experience. If you would like to set up additional integration sessions, we can discuss and arrange that together.
Generally integration sessions are provided remotely.
Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy in Colorado
In Colorado, a legal framework is currently in place to offer Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy at state-approved and licensed Healing Centers. Within these centers, licensed facilitators & licensed clinical facilitators are authorized to provide psychedelic-assisted therapy to individuals who have undergone thorough screenings to ensure their safety and suitability for this treatment. At these approved Healing Centers, participants will receive psilocybin sourced from state-approved cultivation, manufacturing, and/or extraction facilities, which undergo rigorous testing to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality.
Beyond the Mind Psychotherapy, LLC does not plan to pursue Healing Center status at our Denver location, which means psilocybin sessions will not be taking place there.
However, Dr. Meier is now licensed by the State of Colorado as a Natural Medicine Clinical Facilitator in Training, which authorizes her under Going Beyond, PLLC to offer psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy in collaboration with licensed Healing Centers throughout the state including:

Psychedelic therapy in Colorado is at the forefront of the psychedelic renaissance, driven by innovative policy changes and groundbreaking research. Notably, Colorado Proposition 122, the Natural Medicine Act of 2022, has paved the way for significant advancements in this field, alongside prominent research initiatives such as MAPS’ studies on MDMA. Similar to the progress seen with Ketamine and Cannabis-Assisted Psychotherapy, emerging research indicates that certain psychedelics, when combined with psychotherapy, can offer profound healing effects and positive outcomes for individuals dealing with conditions such as PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, and substance use disorders. This growing body of research explores the therapeutic potential of substances such as MDMA, Psilocybin, 5-MeO-DMT, DMT, LSD, Ayahuasca, Mescaline, and Ibogaine, showcasing their potential to foster psychological healing and transformation.
