Reimagining psychedelic therapy for the next 100 years

Our mission is to help you find your truth through extraordinary inner exploration.
As individuals who have benefited from our own journeys with psilocybin, we believe that a different world is possible when it comes to our mental health and our communities.
That is why we are creating the infrastructure for a new generation of healers and psychedelic practitioners. Our space hosts 1:1 and group healing sessions, along with a variety of community events through our Co-Lab program.
Each person is unique, and we partner with a variety of facilitators who can help meet you where you are at.
The deer sculpture in our lobby is a symbol of good omens in dreams and is a noble creature. To us, this represents what we are trying to create at immersive: something beautiful — full of connection, wonder, and the unexpected.
An urban oasis
IMMERSIVE THERAPIES is a thoughtfully designed wellness space.
The items in our space are designed by local artists, and our rooms have been curated with every detail necessary for a good setting to journey with psilocybin mushrooms.
We are centrally located — only 20 minutes from the airport, we are close to numerous Portland cultural landmarks and plenty of lodging options.
The founders
We've both personally benefited from psilocybin, and bring together our shared expertise in health and business.
Frank Li
Co-founder
Frank Li, MD is a physician and surgeon board certified in Interventional and Complex Pain Management. As the medical director of Seattle Pain Centers from 2008 to 2016, he oversaw the management of over 30,000 patients placed on opioids by other doctors.
Together with his team of other pain specialists, Seattle Pain Center was able to discharge over 20,000 patients off opioids. Despite their team's best efforts, he was unable to eliminate all risks associated with opioid management.
His personal journey led him to psilocybin which provided him an opportunity to help people heal themselves in a more holistic way.
For the past 7 years Dr. Li has dedicated his life to making psilocybin accessible to those who stand to benefit in a safe and responsible way.

Our Values
For us inclusivity looks like authenticity. We want to make a space where people are truly welcome and belong — being their whole authentic selves. And we want to help people in their discovery of what that looks like.
01
Authenticity
Not every journey means confronting healing the darkness. We also believe in the transformative power of wonder, play, and that creative spark and zeal for life that lives within each of us.
02
Wonder
We can't heal alone. We are all part of a greater web of connection. We see Immersive as a hub in that web. We offer a space for a variety of group offerings, and hope that after your journey you will remain a part of our broader healing community.
03
Connection
This work calls on all of us to lean into our inner resiliency and take a close look at who we really are and what needs to change in our own lives for us to be happy. We are all often stronger than we think we are — especially when we know we aren't alone.
