Choosing the right psychedelic therapist or tripsitter can deeply influence the outcome of your journey. Whether you seek healing, self-discovery, or emotional reset, the guide you choose plays a vital role in shaping the space, the support, and ultimately, the transformation. At Triptherapie, we’ve guided thousands of people through psilocybin, MDMA-analog, and LSD-analog sessions, offering both therapeutic and non-therapeutic options across the Netherlands.
1. Therapist or Tripsitter – What’s the Difference?
A tripsitter ensures your safety, keeps you physically grounded, and helps you navigate challenging emotions during your session. This is a great option if your focus is spiritual, creative, or exploratory. However, Triptherapie tripsitters offer more than safety — they bring music, aromatherapy, and intention-based support to deepen your experience.
A psychedelic therapist goes further, offering professional mental health expertise before, during, and after your session. Psychologists like Sascha and Reineke, or integrative therapists like Ronald, apply Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, EMDR, and psychodrama to support deeper emotional and psychological healing. This is ideal for those dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, or long-term mental challenges.
2. Male or Female Guide – Trust & Safety First
Many clients prefer a specific gender for emotional comfort and trust — and that matters. You can choose from a team of both male and female facilitators, each trained to meet you where you are. Feeling safe is essential for letting go, surrendering, and truly engaging with the experience.

3. Choosing the Right Location
Where you trip affects how you trip. At Triptherapie, you can choose your own location — your home, a hotel or Airbnb — or use our dedicated Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam. This private loft is fully equipped for both individual and group ceremonies.
Our facilitators work regionally to minimize travel and maximize availability. For example:
Marcel (founder) works nationwide.
Sascha covers much of central and northern Holland.
Ronald works around Eindhoven and Limburg.
Janneke focuses on the Rotterdam region.
Gijs serves the ’s-Hertogenbosch area and offers a private retreat space.

4. “The Click” – Go With Your Gut
All the practical aspects matter — but the most important one is this: do you feel a connection? “The click” is that intuitive sense that this person gets you. That they’re safe. That they’ll hold the space without judgment and guide you with sensitivity.
At Triptherapie, we encourage you to browse profiles, read reviews, or schedule a short call with the guide of your choice. Trust yourself. The right guide often makes the right session.
