Meet Oregon’s Most Experienced Psilocybin Facilitation Team

I approach this work as a fellow human being, not as someone above you or with special titles. I believe the power lies in the mushrooms, and my role is to help ensure your safety while supporting you through a meaningful and personal experience.

My path has been shaped by trauma, addiction, and incarceration, as well as deep healing through ceremony and connection to the land. With over twelve years of sobriety, I bring lived experience, understanding, and respect to this work.

I have spent years in the addiction field as a counselor, supervisor, and harm reduction leader, and my work within the legal psilocybin field is a natural extension of that path. I’m committed to helping people engage with this medicine in a way that is grounded, safe, and intentional.

Outside of paid professional roles, I have a long history of serving my community and Oregon on various boards, committees, councils, etc., and continue to do so today. Doing what I can to contribute to positive and meaningful change is important to me. 

As an enrolled member of the Klamath Tribes and a descendant of the Shasta Nation, I also carry a deep connection to this land, which continues to guide how I show up in this work.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful, and supportive experience, with thoughtful preparation and meaningful integration to help carry what arises into lasting change.

Hello! I am so proud to be a part of a growing team of innovative mental health professionals in Southern Oregon, where we Oregon-ize a little differently from our neighbors. Located between Crater Lake, Mount Shasta and the Pacific Ocean, lies the Rogue Valley, the heart of the Wing of the Dove.

My family roots date to 1895 in Ashland Oregon, and I’ve raised my sons to see the beauty of this land that I believe heals.

I’ve been a practicing bodyworker since 2003. My early practice was based in structural and rehabilitation work; the energetic and holistic aspects began to form my practice into what she is today. I was first trained in Reiki in 2004 and have received my Master attunements. Since then, I have been a student of various energy modalities, finally coming full circle to CranioSacral based on the teachings of Dr. John Upledger.

Like many families, ours has been touched by generational wounds and deep scars. As I grew in my therapeutic work, I simultaneously chased my own healing. Nearly twenty years ago, I began working with entheogens as part of a sacrament, where I found amazing benefits that meditation did not offer me. Due to the times and, society, my healing took place “underground”. The evolution of my journey brought me to Peru to work with indigenous plant medicines, after which I came home to Oregon and began the efforts to decriminalize psilocybin for the benefit of others with Measure 109.

Being a facilitator is very much like being a somatic practitioner: I simply hold space for you to experience the medicine. Every journey and journeyer is unique, and I believe in honoring this process. My focus is building a container of trust and space for you. We do this through learning about you, your why, and what brought you to this place and time.

I have seen firsthand the tremendous impact of this medicine being destigmatized and decriminalized. I see how people want to be in alignment with the laws. Most of my clients had their first experience with medicine, their feedback was that it mattered that they were in a safe and good standing. I am also thankful that Ashland, Oregon has long held an open mind about plant medicine. Ashland has been at the leading edge for psychedelics, whether underground as it was before or now.

Come, take a trip to take a trip and we will see you soon.

Facilitation Fee: $850

Susannah Graven – Psilocybin Facilitator | Medford, Oregon

I feel incredibly fortunate that I discovered psilocybin’s healing potential over 30 years ago and have continued to use this medicine for personal growth and self-awareness.

I consider psilocybin a gift that helps us access inner healing by revealing and releasing whatever isn’t serving us and creating new pathways forward. A facilitated journey can provide a deep reset, clear out pain and confusion, and bring back hope and inspiration. I believe it allows us to connect deeply with our true selves underneath the suffering and stress and make the changes we wish to see.  I have worked with psychedelic plant medicines for most of my life and have seen how powerfully these experiences improve people’s lives. My empathetic approach, rooted in bridging indigenous traditions and psychology, allows me to create a sacred healing space where clients can explore their innermost selves.

I am passionate about empowering individuals to unlock their innate healing potential.

I serve my clients by meeting each person where they are at in their life and calibrating to their unique needs. I am a present, warm, loving, and experienced guide, and my role is to prepare and support my clients so they feel well-informed and excited to experience this wondrous journey. I am a founding facilitator at Satya Therapeutics and have guided over 150 clients since becoming licensed. I absolutely love this work and consider it an honor to be part of many people’s transformations and healing.

I am a mother, flower farmer, birth doula, and a psycho-spiritual life coach.  My passion is helping people realize that it is possible to heal and break free from whatever holds them back from living the life they want.  A guided psilocybin journey is a phenomenal experience that brings clarity and strength, and our integration afterward provides steps forward to continue healing.

I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and am currently in graduate school at CIIS to become a licensed trauma-informed psychotherapist.

I work on a sliding scale where you (the client) pay me according to what you believe the service is worth.  If you determine the total cost should be $1,400 then the Service Center (Satya) will receive $650 and I will receive $750.

My journey with altered states began over 50 years ago in San Francisco during the “Summer of Love,” where I had my first profound experiences with psychedelics. That foundational chapter ignited a lifelong dedication to understanding human consciousness, healing, and behavioral change. After moving to Ashland and opening the city’s first licensed massage studio, I transitioned into academic clinical training, earning a Master’s Degree in Psychology and Education from Southern Oregon University.

Over the last several decades, I have deeply immersed myself in the fields of trauma recovery, addiction, and grief. My clinical background includes serving at a 30-day medical detox and residential treatment center, facilitating the Sudden Loss group at the WinterSpring Center for Grief and Loss, and working extensively within medication-assisted treatment programs for opioid recovery. Today, alongside my private practice, I blend this lifetime of clinical wisdom with my role as an Oregon Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator.

My Approach: Contextual Functionalism

In my practice, I utilize a therapeutic framework called Contextual Functionalism. Rather than merely managing symptoms, we examine your life as a whole—exploratively mapping how your unique environment, history, and neurobiology shape how you function today. Within this framework, psilocybin acts as a powerful catalyst capable of separating core truth from overwhelming emotion to reveal lasting clarity.

To support you at your exact level of comfort, my offerings span across the full spectrum of psychedelic care:

• High-Dose Psilocybin Facilitation: Providing an immaculate, ethically contained, and deeply supported environment for profound breakthrough experiences.

• Psilocybin Microdosing-Assisted Counseling: Structured clinical guidance, behavioral tracking, and custom microdosing protocols designed for incremental, daily healing and cognitive alignment.

The All-Inclusive Spectrum of Care ($1,250)

To maintain the highest standard of ethical containment, safety, and therapeutic success, I offer a single, transparent, all-inclusive package rate of $1,250. This comprehensive structure ensures we are never rushed and covers:

1. Meticulous Preparation: We will spend as much time as needed in person to establish an unshakeable container of safety, set clear intentions, and ensure you feel entirely ready.

2. The Psilocybin Session: A fully facilitated experience where I bring decades of altered-states experience to bear witness to your journey, maintaining absolute safety while staying out of the way of your individual mind’s wisdom.

3. Dedicated Integration: Comprehensive follow-up sessions a day or two after your journey—available in person or via my secure telehealth portal—to help translate your experience into sustainable, daily wellness.

Joey embodies what it means to be a True Friend to those on their journey – simply being fully present with a quiet mind and an open heart. Through his own journeys as well as working with others, he has found that what can initially be seen as the most challenging moments often turn out to be the greatest gifts, leading to deep and profound insights and tremendous clarity.

In addition to his own spiritual search which started about 25 years ago as well as working for The Leela School of Awakening for the last 11 years where he serves as a teacher and mentor; a surprise gift in his desire to serve alongside this sacred medicine has come from his training in improvisational comedy from Chicago’s renowned Second City. The art of improv has given Joey a deep appreciation for the sweet, healing power of laughter as well as the ability to adapt and stay calm and present in difficult and unforeseen situations. 

Joey’s approach creates a safe container where participants feel both held and free to fully open, knowing they’re supported with compassion, a deep stillness, and an open, loving presence.

Joey is happy to offer a free consultation which can be on the phone or Zoom.  As your facilitator, he will meet with you for an in-depth session prior to your journey to support you in becoming very clear on your intention; an essential part of the process.  His preference is to meet in person for an initial integration session the day after your journey and if requested, another session a week or two after.  He is also available to meet 1:1 for continued support in your own deepening process.
