Choosing private psychedelic therapy
When people want to use psychedelics as therapy, they often choose a one-on-one session or a couples session with a partner. They less often opt for a group ceremony like a truffle ceremony, as there's less support and guidance from a therapist per participant. Read more on this page if you're interested in a private session for yourself.
The guidance surrounding a therapeutic truffle session
We can fully tailor the level of support surrounding your truffle session to your needs, including additional talk therapy with your chosen therapist, group integration, and microdosing support. The following are included as standard with every truffle session booked:
-
Personal preparation through intakeBased on the online intake, you'll receive personalized advice from a lifestyle coach on nutrition, supplements, and mental preparation. This will lay the foundation for starting the session feeling both physically and emotionally strong and balanced.
- Preparatory conversation with therapistThe chosen therapist will contact you the week before the actual session to thoroughly prepare for the truffle session. This typically includes an hour of contact via phone, video call, or in person. The therapist may choose to provide additional exercises to enhance the therapy's effectiveness.
-
1-on-1 guidance during the sessionYou will receive personal guidance from your chosen therapist. The psychedelic session typically lasts up to six hours and can be extended if needed.
-
Use of legal psilocybin trufflesThe dosage will be determined in consultation and tailored to your experience, needs, and sensitivity. This can range from a mild psycholytic experience to a deep inner journey. Truffles are included, but you are welcome to provide your own psychedelics.
-
Post-integration discussionAfter the session, you'll receive personal guidance to process the insights and apply them to your daily life. This consultation usually takes place one or more days or weeks after the session and is included in the program. This includes an hour for phone calls, video calls, or in-person meetings.
Choosing a therapist
Choosing a therapist for your truffle session is an important step in the Triptherapie process. You'll have the control to choose who you'll embark on this deep inner journey with, giving you the freedom to choose a therapist who truly suits you.
Within Triptherapie, we have a variety of counselors available, with diverse backgrounds, expertise, and areas of expertise. If you primarily want to use the session in combination with talk therapy, it's best to choose a counselor with psychological or therapeutic training, such as Ronald, Gijs, Sascha or Reineke, They all have experience in mental health care and additional training in areas such as EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy. If you prefer to choose a guide with extensive experience, for example Marcel and Janneke strong choices.
Which counselor suits you best depends on your personal preferences: do you want a man or a woman, a more spiritual or psychological approach, someone with a gentle energy or more structure?
An important piece of advice: feel free to choose based on trust and connection. Feeling safe with your therapist is essential for a successful and profound experience.

The location of the session
Our therapists primarily work on-site, either at clients' homes or in Airbnbs/vacation rentals. Each therapist has a maximum travel time and therefore a designated work area. To make it easier, we've created a tool below where you can enter a city or town name. This way, you can easily see which therapists are available in your area.
On-site price calculation session
Easily calculate the price here for a private psychedelic session for one to three participants at your own location or at one of ours. Sessions at Triptherapie locations always include one overnight stay plus food and drinks.
White text: The supervisor works at your location.
Orange textThe supervisor lives just outside your work area, but it is often possible to arrange a meeting.
Red text: You live too far away. Consider renting accommodation closer, a different supervisor, or participating in a group ceremony at one of our locations.

Explanation of all options within this selection tool
This tool is designed to provide quick insight into the various ways a session can be scheduled via Triptherapie. The tool combines three things in one overview. You can choose the number of people, enter a starting location to have distances and travel times calculated, and switch between a map view for sessions at your own location or sessions at a Triptherapie location. As a result, you get not only a price indication but also an immediate, practical picture of which instructors or locations make the most sense.
The structure is as follows. On the left, you see the selection for the number of people, and below that, the two tables. The first table lists the facilitators for sessions at your own location. The second table lists the fixed Triptherapie locations. On the right, you see the map. With the map view, you choose whether you want to see the facilitators or the locations on the map. The tables remain visible so that you can always compare both types of options side by side.
Enter and calculate starting location
At the top, enter a city or address, for example Amsterdam. Then press the Calculate button. The tool uses that input to display two types of information.
For on-site supervisors, distance, travel time, travel expenses, and the total amount are taken into account. As a result, you see not only who is available or logical in terms of work area, but also what that means financially.
For the Triptherapie locations, the distance and travel time from your entered location to the chosen fixed location are taken into account. No additional travel cost calculation for the supervisor is added to this, as it concerns a session at a fixed Triptherapie location.
If you do not enter a starting location, the tool still displays all guides and all locations with their base prices for the selected number of people. As soon as you enter a location, the calculations are added.
Number of people
The Number of people option is located above the tables in the left column. This determines the number of people for whom the price is calculated. The tool calculates with three choices.
The basic price applies for 1 person.
For 2 people, 500 euros is added to the base price.
For 3 people, a total of 1,000 euros is added to the base price.
This means that the tool automatically adjusts when you switch between one, two, or three people. Both the facilitator table and the location table are then recalculated. This way, you immediately see the difference between an individual session, a duo session, or a session for three people with one facilitator.
Session at own accommodation
When looking at the counselors, the sessions take place at the client's location. This could be, for example, at home, in a hotel, in an Airbnb, or in another suitable private setting. In the table, you can see the place of residence for each counselor, or, after calculation, the distance, travel expenses, travel time, and the total amount.
The tool also takes practical limitations into account here. Some escorts can be deployed more quickly within a larger area, while for others, the maximum travel time is more limited. As a result, you sometimes see escorts in normal text, sometimes in orange, and sometimes crossed out in red. This helps to distinguish between a good fit, just barely possible, or less practically suitable.
This table is particularly useful for people who prefer to work in their own familiar environment, or who want to investigate which support worker best suits their location, both financially and practically.
Session at a Triptherapie location
The second table shows the fixed locations of Triptherapie. These are locations you travel to, rather than a guide coming to you. In this overview, you can see the town and, after calculation, the distance and travel time from your starting location. The total amount changes with the number of people.
This option is useful when you prefer to use a fixed setting that is already suitable for the session. In that case, you compare facilitators not so much based on travel time, but primarily on the different locations and their total price.
Map view
The map is on the right. Above the map, you use the map view to choose what you want to see on the map.
If you select Own accommodation, the map shows the guides. You will then see approximately where the various guides are located. If you have entered a starting location and pressed Calculate, routes can also be displayed.
If you choose the Triptherapie location, the map displays the fixed locations. This allows you to visually see which location is geographically most convenient in relation to your starting point.
The map view changes only the map. The tables on the left both remain visible, so you do not have to switch between screens while comparing.
