Portland Institute for Psychedelic Science

About

The Portland Institute for Psychedelic Science is a clinical research and treatment center affiliated with Portland Psychotherapy, one of Oregon's most established evidence-based practices. The institute's clinician-researchers have delivered psychedelic-assisted therapy within structured FDA clinical trials and published in the scientific literature on psychedelic treatments, bringing a level of empirical rigor uncommon among psilocybin service providers. Operating under Oregon's Psilocybin Services program, PIPS coordinates psilocybin sessions through licensed service centers while maintaining the therapeutic relationship through its own licensed mental health professionals. The three-phase model of consultation and assessment, psilocybin session coordination, and structured integration ensures that the psychedelic experience is held within a coherent clinical framework. The institute also offers MDMA-assisted therapy and psychedelic consultation services, making it one of the few centers in the United States to provide multiple psychedelic modalities under one clinical umbrella with licensed mental health oversight.

Depth Orientation

PIPS is staffed by clinician-researchers who have delivered psychedelic-assisted therapy within structured FDA clinical trials and contributed to the scientific literature, bringing evidence-based rigor and psychological depth to their work. Rather than offering standalone dosing sessions, the institute integrates psilocybin services within an ongoing psychotherapeutic relationship encompassing comprehensive assessment, coordinated psilocybin sessions, and structured integration. Their person-centered, culturally responsive care model treats psychedelic experience as embedded within a broader therapeutic arc of self-understanding.
