Psychedelic-assisted therapy is one step closer to becoming legally available in Colorado, with the state’s first healing center obtaining a license to offer the service this week.
On Monday, the state’s Natural Medicine Division issued an operational license to The Center Origin, a wellness center located at 1440 Blake St., Suite 330 in Denver. The business expects to begin offering psilocybin-assisted therapy to adults by late April, said co-founder and CEO Elizabeth Cooke.
Cooke opened The Center Origin in Denver in 2023 with a roster of practitioners specializing in yoga, massage, breathwork and reiki. Her goal was to build a community and brand recognition in anticipation of psychedelic therapy becoming legally available.
The Center Origin will soon shift to make psychedelic-assisted therapy its primary offering, complete with preparation, administration, and integration sessions. It will also offer “microdosing support” and a range of psychedelic-focused community events, like weekly integration circles, a book club, and mycology classes, per a statement.
