"As a professional in my 70s with little prior experience with psilocybin or other psychedelics, I was both curious and cautious about exploring this option for my lifelong depression and sadness. Although I’ve always been extremely high-functioning and never missed a day of work, I’ve carried a persistent emotional weight throughout my life.

‍

When the laws in Oregon changed, I decided to find someone who could guide me through this experience in a safe, secure, and healthy setting. That’s when I found Josh.

‍

Josh took the time to truly understand my intentions through several remote preparation sessions before we met in person. During these sessions, he asked thoughtful questions about my goals and explained every step of the process in detail, which gave me confidence and peace of mind.

‍

Eventually, we had two full-day, one-on-one sessions in person. These experiences were intense but incredibly transformative. Josh’s presence and expertise made all the difference. His thoughtful prompts, rooted in an understanding of my long life and experiences, came at just the right moments during the sessions. He introduced me to the concept of envisioning the sun as my true self, with clouds representing the darker stories in my life. At first, I believed I was those dark stories, but with his guidance, I left Oregon feeling otherwise—more connected to joy, music, and new ways of thinking.

‍

Throughout the experience, Josh was meticulous and attentive. He ensured my physical well-being, even helping me monitor my heart rate when I expressed concerns. His substantial experience in this work, along with his calm and caring demeanor, made me feel completely safe and supported.

‍

I cannot recommend Josh highly enough. If you are considering this journey, he is the facilitator you need."

"I am delighted to recommend Josh Goldstein, whose dedication and insightful guidance have been instrumental in my personal development journey. From the moment I began working with Josh, his exceptional ability to identify areas for improvement was evident.

‍

Josh possesses a talent for creating a supportive environment that fosters growth and self-discovery. Through our sessions, he helped me set realistic goals and develop actionable plans for my inward journey. He asked thought-provoking questions and encouraged me to reflect on my values and aspirations, leading to significant breakthroughs in both my personal and professional life.

‍

Josh's empathetic approach and genuine interest in my progress have had a profound impact on my confidence and self-awareness. I gained valuable skills in emotional intelligence, effective communication, and resilience, which have enabled me to navigate challenges with greater ease and composure.

‍

Josh consistently provided tailored resources, feedback, and encouragement. Under his guidance, I not only achieved the 'intention' I set before my journey but also developed a mindset of continuous learning and self-improvement.

‍

I wholeheartedly recommend Josh to anyone seeking a transformative experience."

"Josh is a gentle, kind, and open person. We were able to quickly form a connection of trust and respect, which was exactly what I needed, even though I didn’t realize it beforehand.

‍

Josh guided me before the session, equipping me with resources for preparation and sharing insight and experiences. This helped me conceive of and cultivate my intentions, allowing me to make the most of the experience.

‍

I had no prior experience with psychedelics or altered states of consciousness. Josh’s gentle reassurance gave me the courage to proceed. This experience has since become a rich source of learning that continues to shape my life.

‍

During the session, Josh was a reliable shomer (guardian). When fearful or challenging moments arose, his calming presence reassured me, enabling me to surrender to the process and allow meaningful learning to unfold.

‍

I wholeheartedly recommend Josh as a guide for anyone considering psilocybin therapy."

"Sometime ago, I participated in Bendable Therapy’s first therapeutic psilocybin session. Josh’s interaction with me, his high level of knowledge, and his effort to help me build a real 'intention' were amazing!

‍

He guided me through my one-on-one journey, which lasted over six hours. Josh used his own soul and spirit to direct me to what I needed. I trusted him and felt completely safe.

‍

A day or two later, we met privately. With Josh’s in-depth knowledge, I was able to integrate the seeds of my memory from the journey into real, practical takeaways. His wisdom feels like it is from a higher order.

‍

I highly recommend Josh. He has the rare ability to balance grounded expertise with a deeply soulful approach to guidance."‍

"It was important for me to engage with psilocybin legally so I might have the best chance to gain long-term help from the process. My experience with Josh began a couple of weeks before my session, with discussions, paperwork, and acknowledgment of legal compliance.

‍

As the date approached, the focus shifted to visiting the location and experiencing the physically safe setting the day before. On the day of the experience, I arrived feeling confident I was safe from a legal and physical perspective. This confidence allowed me to fully engage with the medicine.

‍

When it was time, I measured my dosage, prepared my tea, and had one final discussion with Josh about my intention for the experience. Once I drank the tea, I covered my eyes, laid back, and let the medicine take effect. For the next five hours, Josh sat within arm’s reach, playing a soundtrack for the session and holding space for me.

‍

Two days after the experience, Josh and I had a profound counseling session, where I began to assimilate and learn from the medicine. It has been 15 months, and I still feel like I am receiving help from the experience. Josh’s knowledge, skills, and guidance allowed me to have a positive experience, which has enhanced my life. If you are considering psilocybin as a part of your mental health journey, I can wholeheartedly recommend Josh as your guide."‍
