Microdosing

Microdosing for Mental Clarity, Creativity, & Emotional Balance

Lots of people come to me asking, "How do I microdose?" or "What does microdosing help with?" 

Microdosing psychedelics like psilocybin can offer gentle yet meaningful support for mood, anxiety, focus, and emotional growth—without the intensity of a full psychedelic experience.  At Paton Counselling, I offer evidence-informed support for those interested in exploring microdosing as part of their wellness, creativity, or therapeutic journey.

What Is Microdosing?

Microdosing involves taking very small, sub-perceptual (meaning you don't  feel high) doses of psychedelics, typically on a structured schedule. Many people report benefits such as:

• Improved emotional regulation

• Decreased anxiety or depressive symptoms

• Reducing use of other substances (e.g., alcohol)

• Increased focus and productivity

• A greater sense of connection, creativity, and presence

It's not about escaping—it’s about tuning in.

Is Microdosing Right for You?

Microdosing may be worth exploring if you're:

• Feeling stuck, burnt out, or creatively blocked

• Managing stress, low mood, or anxious thoughts

• Looking to gently deepen your self-awareness and emotional resilience

• Curious about integrating psychedelic tools safely and intentionally

I offer guidance rooted in trauma-informed, culturally aware practice—including harm reduction, preparation, and integration.
