ABOUT US
Toronto Psychedelic Integration was created from a belief that making sense of psychedelic experiences is often a relational process. Experiences that can feel difficult to put into words may become clearer through reflection, conversation, and connection with others.
Our work brings together psychotherapy, psychedelic integration, and community—creating spaces where people can explore what emerged without being told what their experience is supposed to mean.
Integration is not something we do alone.

WHO WE ARE
Gabriel Aboutboul, MA, RP
Gabriel is a Registered Psychotherapist whose work brings together psychotherapy, psychedelic integration, group facilitation, and community-based mental health care. He has completed clinical training in psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration and has worked in the psychedelic field through therapy, group facilitation, harm reduction, peer support, education, and community building.
His approach to integration is relational and exploratory, drawing on attachment-based, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and experiential perspectives. Rather than treating psychedelic experiences as having a predetermined meaning, Gabriel works collaboratively with people to explore what emerged and how it relates to their emotions, relationships, sense of self, and broader life context.
Alongside his clinical work, Gabriel has contributed to psychedelic education and community initiatives and has facilitated integration groups through Toronto Psychedelic Integration. His broader work in mental health has included clinical practice, program leadership, and community-based services for people experiencing complex mental health, substance use, and social challenges.
Imtithal (Thal) Mohammed, B.E.S. (Hons.), M.A.
Thal is a counsellor whose work brings together psychedelic integration, existential and transpersonal perspectives, and a longstanding interest in how people make meaning from transformative experiences. She has been involved in Toronto’s psychedelic community for many years, including co-facilitating psychedelic integration circles with the Toronto Psychedelic Society since 2019.
Thal trained for three years in Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy and completed four years of doctoral-level coursework in Transpersonal Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. She has also completed training in MDMA-assisted therapy through the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS).
Through her private practice, Integrative Practice Inc., Thal draws on existential, Jungian, archetypal, and transpersonal perspectives. Her approach is grounded in curiosity about the meaning people make of their experiences and the ways those experiences can become integrated into their lives and relationships.
WHAT GUIDES OUR WORK
Psychedelic experiences can be profound, confusing, meaningful, ordinary—or several of these things at once. We approach them with curiosity rather than assuming what they mean or what should come from them.
Our work is grounded in the person having the experience: their relationships, history, values, culture, and broader life context. Integration is less about fitting an experience into a particular framework and more about exploring what significance, if any, it holds for the person who lived it.
Curious about the experience. Grounded in the person.
HOW WE WORK
Integration can take many forms.
We understand integration as something that can unfold through relationship—with a therapist, within a group, and in the relationships that make up everyday life.
RELATIONAL
We make room for uncertainty. Rather than rushing toward an explanation, we stay curious about what emerged and allow meaning to develop over time.
EXPLORATORY
No single therapeutic framework can account for every psychedelic experience. Our work can draw on different psychological and relational perspectives depending on the person, the experience, and what feels most useful.
