In 2023, Oregon opened its doors to clients seeking psilocybin therapy under the nation’s first state-regulated psilocybin therapy program. One of the first clients to utilize the program is KC, a social worker who has dealt with depression all her life, stemming from an abusive childhood. KC sought out psilocybin therapy after many attempts at other modalities which did not meet her desires for personal connection, and freedom from emotional hardship.
