Need Answers? Common Questions
Will I lose control or “go crazy”?
No. While experiences can be intense, they are temporary, safe in the right setting, and often deeply meaningful. You will be supported at every step.
Are there side effects?
Some people may feel nausea, dizziness, or emotional intensity during their session. These effects are usually short-lived, and our team helps you navigate them safely.
Do I have to live in Colorado?
No. Anyone age 21+ is eligible to participate in guided sessions here in Colorado.
Will this show up on a drug test?
Routine employment screens do not test for psilocybin. Specialized tests exist but are rarely used.

Who is Neuroscience Pscyhiatry for?
Neuroscience Pscyhiatry provides online mental health care to individuals 6 years and older. Our expert providers can help with anxiety, depression, and many other common concerns. We offer psychiatry, therapy, Natural Medicines, and Neuroscience Therapy.
Online care is not a good fit for people with certain conditions or situations. These can include:
1. Ongoing, high-risk self-harm behavior
2. Schizophrenia or any symptoms of psychosis
3. Some cases of bipolar disorder I or acute mania
4. Severe substance use

If any of these describe a condition you’re experiencing, it’s best for you to be seen in person by a primary care provider who can help you find the treatment that’s right for you.
How Care at Neuroscience Psychiatry Works
1. Start with your free Brain Wiring Assessment
Take our quick online assessment to get a snapshot of how your brain and nervous system may be wired. You’ll see your results instantly, and they’ll guide your provider in understanding your starting point.
2. Schedule your comprehensive evaluation
Your first appointment is a deep-dive, not a rushed intake. Depending on your needs, this may include:
* A full psychiatric evaluation
* Optional brain mapping or neuroscience-based testing
* A review of your history, goals, and lifestyle factors
Together, we’ll uncover what’s driving your symptoms and create a plan that fits you—not just a prescription.
3. Get your personalized recommendations
Based on your evaluation, your provider may recommend:
* Psychiatry and medication management (when helpful)
* Therapy, mindfulness, or clinical hypnotherapy
* Natural medicine options for mood, sleep, and focus
* Neuroscience therapies like brain mapping, neurostimulation, or TMS
You’ll know exactly why each recommendation was made, and how it supports your brain and body.
4. Follow your plan, with ongoing support
Care doesn’t stop after your first visit. You’ll meet with your provider regularly to track progress, fine-tune your plan, and celebrate wins. Between sessions, you’ll have access to check-ins, guided tools, and self-tracking exercises to help you stay on course.
5. Track your progress and evolve
We measure what matters—your real improvements. With ongoing feedback, your provider adjusts your care so you continue moving toward balance, focus, and resilience.

Is my information kept private?
Neuroscience Pscyhiatry and its associated platform is HIPAA compliant and follows all HIPAA requirements including, but not limited to, the Privacy Rule. We encrypt data in transit and at rest.

Why do you need to monitor my symptoms?
Mental health conditions are complicated. To make sure you are on the right treatment, and making appropriate progress, we will ask you to complete check-ins periodically to let us know how you’re doing. Your provider will review these check-ins to help them decide whether making an adjustment will help you get better, faster, and stay that way longer. You can also use this information to track your own progress over time.
How do I get my medication?
If prescribed, your psychiatric provider can send your prescription to a local pharmacy for your convenience.
