If you’ve had a psilocybin journey at Vital Reset and felt profoundly seen, safe, and supported—it might be thanks to Evelyn Cushing.
Evelyn is one of Oregon’s first licensed psilocybin facilitators and a beloved member of the Vital Reset team. Her work is grounded in radical acceptance, a deep reverence for the human experience, and more than 25 years of personal and professional experience with psychedelics.
Now, she’s also an award winner.
At Vital Reset, we believe your guide matters just as much as the medicine. That’s why we’re proud to focus on Evelyn Cushing, one of Oregon’s most experienced and trusted psilocybin facilitators—and now an award winner, too.
Why Evelyn Stands Out
In the spring of 2025, Evelyn received Althea’s Well-being Improvement Award, given to the facilitator whose clients reported the highest overall increase in well-being after their psilocybin journeys. This data came from Althea’s own platform, which tracks client-reported outcomes across Oregon’s legal psychedelic services.
While Evelyn humbly downplays the award “I really don’t what I’m doing anything differently than anyone else. It could just be the strain of mushrooms I use, or maybe I just got lucky with clients willing to do the work.”, but we know better. Her results speak volumes—and so do the people she’s supported.
“Tricycle Day called it ‘basically the Oscars of psychedelic therapy,’” Evelyn joked. “I wouldn’t go that far—but it is cool to see real outcomes.”
A Deeply Human Approach to Psilocybin Treatment
Evelyn is a licensed psilocybin facilitator in Oregon, a certified preparation and integration coach, and a graduate of the Changa Institute. She holds a degree in Social Sciences with a focus on psychology from Portland State University—and brings over 25 years of personal and professional experience with psychedelics to her work.
But credentials are only part of the story.
Evelyn’s facilitation style is built on a foundation of radical acceptance. She believes that all emotions are sacred, and that true healing begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening to what’s really underneath.
Her clients often say they feel deeply understood, emotionally safe, and supported in reconnecting with their own truth—whatever that may be.
Evelyn’s Personal Healing Journey
This work is personal for Evelyn. Over the years, she has used plant medicine to heal from:
-
Depression
-
Addiction
-
Anxiety
-
ADHD
-
OCD
-
PTSD
Through ceremony, time in nature, and honest self-work, she rebuilt her life with love, creativity, and integrity—and she brings that lived wisdom to every session.
Evelyn’s Philosophy, In Her Words
“I believe that all our feelings are sacred and important. Listening to these feelings, honoring them, and learning how to process them is an important key to unlocking our full potential. Repressed and unprocessed emotions can show up as anxiety, depression, or physical illness. I help you understand what your journey is teaching you—and how to use that insight to become a more authentic version of yourself.”
