There’s a growing conversation about psychedelics and mental health.

Many people come to us with questions about how psychedelic-assisted therapy actually works, what the research shows, what’s happening in the brain, and how the therapeutic process fits alongside the medicine.

This article walks through those questions in a clear, research-informed way.

When Sunstone began, we started with one question: How can we better support the emotional distress that often follows a cancer diagnosis?

A recent National Geographic Health article highlights research into psilocybin-assisted therapy for patients facing advanced illness and end-of-life distress. This line of research is where our work began — and it remains central to our mission.

Thank you, Association of Cancer Care Centers, for elevating an essential conversation on the psychosocial distress that so often accompanies a cancer diagnosis.

As the population of patients and survivors living with cancer continues to grow, so does recognition of the disease’s emotional toll—from anxiety and depression to profound existential distress. Psychedelic-assisted therapy is emerging as a promising approach to psychosocial care, offering relief for some patients when traditional interventions fall short.

In the most recent CANCER BUZZ podcast, breast cancer survivor Judy Wight, Jennifer Bires, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, FACCC, of Inova Schar Cancer Institute, and Manish Agrawal, MD, of Sunstone Therapies share the human side of this evolving treatment, discuss emerging research, and explore what it could mean for the future of supportive cancer care.

At Sunstone, we’re privileged to partner with Veterans, Service Members, and their loved ones as they seek healing and wholeness. Through ongoing research, we’re helping to build pathways to recovery that are rooted in science, compassion, and community.

CEO, Dr. Manish Agrawal, recently sat down with Dan Callahan, founder of HealingCancerJourneys.org.

Through caring for thousands of cancer patients, Dr. Agrawal witnessed how the deepest suffering—questions of meaning, grief, and love—often remains unaddressed in modern medicine. Psychedelics can help bring this essential dimension of healing to the forefront.
