Odyssey Psilocybin Services

About

Odyssey is a licensed psilocybin service center based in Bend, Oregon that made history in September 2023 by hosting the first legal psilocybin retreat in the United States under Oregon's Measure 109 framework. Founded by Gabe Charalambides, a Stanford-trained aerospace engineer, and advised by Harvard-trained psychiatrists, Odyssey combines scientific rigor with deep therapeutic intentionality. The clinical team includes Brian Pilecki, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the Portland Psychotherapy Clinic who holds advanced training from the California Institute of Integral Studies in psychedelics and non-ordinary states of consciousness, and Carrie McMullin, PsyD, a licensed psychologist with twenty years of client-centered trauma-focused practice. Odyssey offers both private psilocybin sessions providing over fourteen hours of personalized facilitator support and group retreats of four to six days, all utilizing lab-tested psilocybin with precision dosing informed by clinical trial protocols. The treatment model addresses depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, burnout, addiction, smoking cessation, and end-of-life distress. Every participant receives lifetime access to monthly integration circles and up to five additional support sessions at no cost, reflecting the center's commitment to sustained psychological processing rather than one-time pharmacological intervention.

Depth Orientation

Odyssey's clinical advisory board includes psychologists trained at institutions like the California Institute of Integral Studies and Fordham University, bringing psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed frameworks to psilocybin facilitation rather than treating the substance as a standalone treatment. The program is heavily influenced by clinical trial protocols from the psychedelic research literature, yet embeds each session within a structured arc of preparation and integration that honors the subjective, meaning-making dimensions of the psychedelic experience. Lifetime access to monthly integration circles ensures ongoing psychological processing well beyond the acute session.
