Psychedelic therapy
Triptherapie offers psychedelic therapy throughout the Netherlands through our home-based service. In this blog post, we'll describe how we plan to expand our psychedelic sessions to home visits and how we plan to strengthen our national network of psychologists to reduce driving distances.

Our vision for the future
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is becoming increasingly accepted, and there's also a growing demand for trip therapy. We currently have six people working at this wonderful company, which has already provided a pathway for over 2,200 people to experience a psychedelic session.
When Marcel began using its holistic vision of incorporating psychedelics into a healthy lifestyle 13 years ago to primarily improve physical health, Triptherapie has evolved in recent years primarily as a company that helps people improve their mental health. Because physical and mental health are intertwined, we have never abandoned our original vision.
Keeping pace with the times and changes to be ready for the future
The psychedelic therapy market has undergone dramatic changes over the past three years, and future regulations will likely push psychedelic therapy into the category of Mental Health Care (GGZ). This will mean that psychedelic therapy may become the exclusive domain of mental health psychologists or under the supervision of such a medically trained therapist. While proper psychedelic therapy isn't strictly necessary, it has its advantages and disadvantages.
To meet future demands, we've been working to recruit the right staff for the future. We've already trained several therapists/psychologists, and we're working to recruit even more qualified staff.
Our vision for the future is therefore to continue to offer holistic care, which doesn't focus solely on the psyche. Recent developments have, however, led us to merge mental healthcare and holistic psychedelic therapy. We also want to give clients the choice in the future between the medical approach, which will be fully subject to future regulations, and non-medical treatment. This separation allows us to clients serve those who prefer a traditional mental health care approach and customers who have lost confidence in the symptom-fighting mental health care.
Nationwide network
Currently, with the exception of the Wadden Islands, we can offer a psychedelic session at the client's location to anyone in the Netherlands. Currently, the distribution of trip leaders isn't entirely optimal, and we mainly have staff in the Randstad and North Brabant. To shorten travel distances and times, reduce CO2 emissions, and keep travel costs down, we'll be adding at least three more therapists this year. These therapists would come from the provinces of Groningen, Overijssel, and Limburg for on-site sessions. An overview of our staff can be seen on the map.

The most chosen psychedelics
The most commonly chosen psychedelics for psychedelic therapy are psilocybin in first place and in second place comes MDMA. In the Netherlands, these are still legally used for non-medical treatments using magic truffles and MDMA analogues. The fact that psilocybin and MDMA are the most popular options is due to the fact that MDMA, according to scientific research, is very effective for trauma and PTSD. Psilocybin is often used for depression and various anxiety disorders.
Psilocybin therapy
About 75% of our clients choose psilocybin as a psychedelic for individual sessions.
Psilocybin is expected to become the most widely used psychedelic for psychedelic therapy due to its versatility and effectiveness in treating depression.
MDMA therapy
When it comes to individual MDMA sessions, 20% chooses MDMA from our clients.
As long as working with MDMA analogs remains legal, we expect this percentage to continue to rise. MDMA is gaining popularity due to its effectiveness against anxiety and PTSD.
More choice of psychedelic therapists
In conclusion, we can conclude that our vision for the future is to have more therapists spread across the Netherlands and more certified staff. This way, we can offer psychedelic therapy throughout the country. Would you like to have a psychedelic session with one of us now? Then fill out the free intake form, and we'll let you know if we've identified any contraindications.
