Psilocybin Assisted Treatment
Psilocybin treatment at the Avante Institute can offer a promising solution for individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. Research suggests that psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, can help in restoring neurological and psychological balance and promote emotional health and well-being.
When conducted in a controlled therapeutic environment, Avantes’ psilocybin patients may experience profound changes in mood, thought patterns, and their overall perception of the world. Avantes’ trained therapist’s guide our patient’s through the experience to help them connect with their emotions and past traumatic experiences in a deeper way. Psilocybin therapy can lead to a sense of connection and well-being, which can last for several days or even weeks following the therapy session.

What is Psilocybin?
Psilocybin is a natural occurring psychedelic compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms. A select few of these species are used for medicinal psilocybin treatment under the supervised care of experienced clinicians.
How Does Psilocybin Work In The Body?
Psilocybin allows for increased neural pathways and connections between neuro-receptors in the brain that typically are not aligned. Connecting these pathways allows for communication between neuro-receptors.
Psilocybin converts to “Psilocin” when absorbed in the body which activates serotonin receptors in the brain. Serotonin is an essential “feel good chemical” and the key hormone that stabilizes our mood and creates a sense of wellbeing and happiness. Optimal levels of serotonin enables the brain cells to communicate more effectively with each other. Balancing serotonin levels helps to reduce depression, anxiety, and helps regulate sleep.
Psilocybin increases activity in the visual cortex of the brain. This region of the brain is responsible for processing visual stimuli and information. This process affects our perceptions in life and causes them to become more keen and acute. It decreases the part of the brain responsible for our inner sense of self; our ego.
Psilocybin has the ability to reset the Default Mode Network (DMN) in the brain. This reset in neurochemistry dramatically reduces anxiety, mood disorders, and depression and helps balance the neurochemistry of the brain which has many benefits

Psilocybin Research and Clinical Data
The Johns Hopkins University and the John Hopkins Psychedelic Research Center has made a profound advances in research and clinical studies relating to the benefits of psilocybin. Results have been promising and regions of the world such as Germany and the Netherlands are following suit and experiencing positive outcomes for their patients. The Avante team participates in our own collection of data and clinical findings in order to continue to do our part in advancing the global research on psilocybin.. Our ongoing goal is to help as many clients as possible achieve a safe and effective psilocybin treatment within an ideal therapeutic environment as we continue to advance these extraordinary earth medicines into mainstream western acceptance and utilization.
