FAQS

Is it normal to feel overwhelmed after a psychedelic experience?
Yes. Many people experience confusion, anxiety, or distress after intense psychedelic experiences. Integration therapy helps you process and understand what happened.

What is a spiritual emergency?
A spiritual emergency is when a spiritual awakening or intense inner experience becomes overwhelming or destabilizing. Therapy can help you stay grounded and safe.

Do you judge unusual or paranormal experiences?
No. All experiences are approached with respect, curiosity, and clinical care.

Meet Your Therapist

Have you had an experience involving your consciousness that others would consider strange or unusual and it’s causing you some psychological distress? Psychologist, Brian Welling, may be able to help. He is a transpersonal psychologist who supports people who have had challenging psychedelic experiences, mystical experiences, and various types of paranormal experiences that may be negatively judged or scoffed at by society, as a whole. He will take your experience seriously and treat you with kindness and respect. Nothing you bring will be dismissed as “too strange” or “too much.”

Brian Welling, BA, MA

Registered Psychologist & Clinical Director

I am a registered psychologist in Edmonton with a specialization in both transpersonal and Jungian psychology.

I am a former instructor of psychology at both MacEwan University and in the Dept. of Psychotherapy and Spirituality at St. Stephen’s College. I received my MA in Counselling Psychology at the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Vancouver, my BA in Religious Studies at the University of Alberta, and completed a 3-year certificate in integrated Psychedelic Therapy after working intensively with shamans in Peru, Colombia, Gabon, and Mexico.

Nothing that you bring up will be too “weird” or “out there” for me. I am very familiar with and open to a wide variety of paranormal or transpersonal experiences involving consciousness.

My goal is to help you make sense of and integrate your experiences whether they involve mysticism, magic, kundalini awakenings, spiritual emergencies, existential crises, or deep confrontations with an ethereal realm or your shadow side. I am here to help.

Brian is both a VAC and NIHB provider, and offers direct billing to most insurers.
