Is psilocybin-assisted therapy actually "too expensive," or are we just comparing it to the wrong thing?

If you're measuring a licensed, clinical container against a festival, gathering, or solo dose at home, the math will never add up. You can absolutely take mushrooms on your own — but that in no way compares to the level of care, safety, and outcomes of a regulated model. To see the true value, we have to compare this work to its real-world equivalent: mental health care.

If you're on the path to licensure, you've likely heard the critics. "The sessions cost too much." "It's only for the wealthy." These arguments don't just affect public perception — they create pricing guilt for the very professionals we need in this field.

In this episode, Coeli challenges that narrative directly, walking through the actual economics of mental health and psilocybin-assisted therapy across four models — so you can see, and explain to your future clients, how this work has put thousands of dollars back into people's pockets.
