Psychedelic Integration Therapy Ontario Online
Silver Owl Therapy offers trauma-informed psychedelic integration online across Ontario, for adults preparing for or processing experiences with plant medicine and other expanded states.
The practice was founded by Mariya Garnet, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who has practiced plant medicine since 2008 and lived in Peru for nine years, and the work combines that lived grounding with somatic, NARM-informed clinical training.
One boundary comes first, because it defines what integration therapy legally is:
No substance is ever provided, sourced, administered, or recommended here, and no experiences are facilitated in session. Integration is the therapy that happens before and after an experience you undertake on your own terms.
That work is legal and within a psychotherapist's scope in Ontario.
Why Integration Matters
The experience itself is only part of the process. What you do with it afterward determines whether it becomes transformative or stays fragmented. Many people come out of psychedelic experiences feeling they’ve seen something real and important, but they don’t have a framework for metabolizing it. Old patterns reassert themselves. Relationships feel out of step. The body is carrying material that the conscious mind hasn’t fully processed.
Integration therapy provides a space to slow down with what came up, to feel it in the body, to make connections between the psychedelic experience and the patterns you live out daily. It’s not about interpreting what you saw. It’s about helping your whole system, body and mind, catch up with what shifted.
What I Bring to This Work
I spent 19 years working with plant medicine in traditional ceremonial settings in Peru, nine of those years living in the Amazon and the Andes. This isn’t something I studied from a distance. I sat with it, lived inside it, and came to understand the territory from the inside.
That background means I’m not going to pathologize your experience or treat it as something exotic. I’ve sat with people during and after ceremony for years. I understand the kinds of material that surface, the body states, the emotional flooding, the numinous encounters, the confusion, the grief, the quiet awe. I know what it feels like when an experience is too big for the container you have, and I know what it takes to build a larger one.
As a therapist, I bring somatic therapy, NARM, parts work, and expressive arts into integration sessions. We work with the body as much as the narrative, because psychedelic material often lives below language.
What Integration Sessions Can Help With
Processing and grounding insights from ceremony or psychedelic experiences. Working with difficult or overwhelming material that surfaced, including grief, trauma memories, or identity shifts. Nervous system regulation when the body is still activated after an experience.
Making sense of spiritual or transpersonal experiences without dismissing or inflating them. Connecting psychedelic insights to everyday patterns, relationships, and decisions. Navigating the gap between who you were before the experience and who you feel yourself becoming.
