How Do We Determine the Right Psilocybin Dose for your Guided Journey?
One of the most important—and misunderstood—parts of a therapeutic journey is dosage. At our licensed psilocybin service center in Corvallis, we believe that the right dose is deeply personal. It's not about pushing boundaries. It's about creating space for healing, insight, and transformation—safely.
In this article, we’ll walk you through how we determine the ideal psilocybin dose for your experience, and why our personalized approach sets us apart from retreats or DIY use.
Why Psilocybin Dosage Matters in a Therapeutic Setting
In Oregon’s regulated model, psilocybin must be consumed on-site under supervision, with careful preparation and support. That structure allows us to personalize each journey—including the dose.
The right dose depends on:
Your goals (e.g., trauma recovery, emotional clarity, spiritual insight)
Your past experience (with or without psychedelics)
Your health history and any medications
Your comfort level with deep emotional work
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It’s a collaborative, clinician-guided decision made with intention and care.
Step 1: A Thoughtful Intake Process
Before your session, we begin with a confidential 1:1 preparation meeting—either in person or via secure video call.
We explore:
Your emotional history and goals
Physical health and medications
Prior psychedelic experiences
Your readiness and comfort level
This intake helps us determine your ideal dose range and prepares your facilitator to support you fully.

Step 2: Understanding Dosage Ranges (in Oregon-Licensed Centers)
In Oregon, psilocybin is measured in milligrams of pure psilocybin/psilocin vs grams of dried mushroom, which allows for greater accuracy in dosing. Effects vary greatly by dose:
Dose Range | Purpose |
5-10 mg / ~1g | Gentle clarity or emotional opening |
10-25 mg / ~1.5–3g | Emotional healing, trauma release, introspection |
25–50 mg / ~3.5–5g | Deep journeys, spiritual breakthrough |
During your preparation, we’ll review these ranges in detail and decide together what feels right.
Step 3: Safe, Supervised Dosing on Session Day
On the day of your session, your facilitator will:
Reconfirm your dose
Discuss how you’re feeling mentally and physically
Make any final adjustments collaboratively
Your session takes place in a private, calming room, with full support throughout the experience. If needed, your facilitator can guide breathwork, grounding, or simply hold quiet space.
