What Is Cannabis-Assisted Therapy?

Cannabis-assisted therapy blends intentional cannabis use with psychotherapy, allowing for deeper access to emotions, memories, and bodily sensations. This approach enhances self-awareness and connection, especially during trauma recovery and emotional regulation work.

Rather than using cannabis recreationally or casually, our clinicians guide you through sessions where the plant’s effects support your ability to stay present, embodied, and emotionally open. Clients often experience increased somatic awareness, softened defenses, and a deeper connection to their inner world.

For LGBTQIA+ individuals who have experienced identity-related trauma, disconnection from the body, or relational wounding, this modality creates space for self-trust and re-integration.

Why LGBTQIA+ Clients Choose Cannabis-Assisted Therapy

Many LGBTQIA+ individuals have a complex relationship with their bodies and emotional experiences due to chronic stress, shame, or marginalization. Cannabis, when used therapeutically, helps ease that tension. It slows down reactivity, brings focus inward, and opens a gentle path to healing without overwhelm.

At iAmClinic, we understand that safety and trust are essential. That’s why every cannabis-assisted session is rooted in trauma-informed, consent-centered care. You set the pace. You guide the experience. We’re here to hold space—not control it.

Is Cannabis-Assisted Therapy Right for You?

  • New to psychedelics or nervous about intensity? This is a gentle place to begin.
  • Working through grief, intimacy challenges, or emotional numbness? Cannabis supports emotional connection.
  • Want to reconnect with your body after trauma? We blend this work with somatic therapy to support nervous system healing.

Our therapists help you prepare intentionally, choose the right dosage and setting, and integrate what emerges—because the real magic happens when insights become action.

What Sets iAmClinic Apart? (That Others Don’t Talk About)

1. We’re Queer-Led, Not Just “LGBTQIA+-Friendly”

Many providers use inclusive language—but our team is of the community. We know what it means to bring your whole self into a session. Your therapist isn’t just trained in queer-affirming care—they live it too.

2. We Address Queer & Trans-Specific Trauma

Psychedelic therapy with us honors complex identity layers—family estrangement, religious trauma, body dysphoria, and more. Healing here means seeing all of you, not just your symptoms.

3. Our Integration Is Designed for LGBTQIA+ Lived Experience

We don’t just leave you with insights—we help you weave them into your life. Our aftercare planning supports boundaries, joy, chosen family, and community connection.

4. We Prioritize Consent & Safety in Every Session

Power dynamics, boundaries, and autonomy are at the core of our practice. Our sessions are structured around ethical frameworks and trauma-informed protocols.

5. We Know Intersectionality Changes Everything

Queer. Trans. BIPOC. Neurodiverse. Your story is shaped by many forces. Our clinicians are trained to hold intersectional space—no identity flattening here.

Yes. We help you choose a strain and dose that aligns with your therapeutic goals—often favoring balanced hybrids or indica-leaning strains that promote introspection and body awareness.

That depends on your recovery framework and personal goals. We encourage an open conversation with your therapist about sobriety, intentions, and alternative options like somatic therapy if needed.

Cannabis is gentler and more accessible than ketamine or psilocybin. It’s ideal for those new to psychedelic therapy, seeking a slower pace of integration, or dealing with relational or emotional wounds.

Integration is where the insights stick. We help you process your experience and apply it to daily life—setting boundaries, fostering joy, or navigating identity-based stress with clarity.

Cannabis-assisted sessions are generally not covered by insurance due to federal regulations. However, some clients can use HSA/FSA accounts. We also offer sliding scale options to improve accessibility.
