Traditional therapy failed this grieving mother

How Dr. Heather Lee's Psilocybin Sessions Gave Her What Years of Treatment Couldn't

Aug 19, 2025

Dear friends,

When a mother called Dr. Heather Lee sobbing that she'd been "bedbound with grief for two years" after losing her 2-year-old to cancer, traditional therapy had completely failed her.

Dr. Heather Lee is Colorado's 22nd licensed psychedelic facilitator. During the mother's psilocybin session, something extraordinary happened: her deceased child appeared with a message that changed everything.

"I'm just the light in your heart again. I'm always with you."

But here's the part that gave me goosebumps: When Heather posted about this session using a random stock photo from Google—just searching "woman on beach with 2-year-old"—the mother called within minutes. The image Heather had randomly selected was nearly identical to an actual photo the mother had of herself and her son.

"We're working in the realm of spirit and soul," Heather explained. "There's something so much bigger going on when we work with this medicine."

After 30 years as a mental health therapist, Heather discovered what many of us know but won't say: some wounds can't be healed with talk therapy and pharmaceuticals that numb us.

Her upcoming book, The Psilocybin Sessions, documents transformations that conventional medicine would dismiss as impossible. Yet psilocybin's safety profile is superior to anything in your medicine cabinet.

Unlike most states still criminalizing these medicines, Colorado created a rigorous licensing system. Heather trained with researchers from Johns Hopkins, NYU, and Imperial College London.

Her Conscious Conversation Collective grew to 90 women within days—mostly women over 50 who've had profound experiences and want to stay connected to that wisdom and each other.

Whether you call it spirit, consciousness, or the interconnected web of existence, this medicine helps people access healing capacity that's been there all along. Real healing—soul healing—is possible when we have the courage to go deeper.

Golden light,

Dr. Richard L. Miller
