The Berrocal Method is a therapeutic method developed by Dr. Elizabeth Berrocal. It combines evidence-based psychotherapy (including EMDR and hypnotherapy) with what they describe as “shadow work” — exploring deeper and often hidden aspects of the psyche — aiming for integrative healing of mind and body. The method is presented as an alternative to conventional positive-psychology or purely mindfulness-based approaches, with a focus on working through trauma, emotional wounds and inner distress to foster resilience and self-integration.

Service

The Berrocal Method offers individual therapy, trauma-informed psychotherapy sessions, and specialised support for women’s mental health, including working with trauma, low self-esteem and emotional healing.
In addition, via a related practice — The Integration Room — the method is applied to contexts including shadow-work, guided psychological healing, and integration support for clients seeking deeper inner work, including some offerings that involve “guided psilocybin therapy.”
The services appear to be offered to both US and EU clients (via different branches), suggesting hybrid or international reach.

Safety

Therapy via the Berrocal Method is conducted by licensed mental-health professionals: Dr. Elizabeth Berrocal holds credentials as a professional counselor (LPC), is a certified EMDR therapist and hypnotherapist.
Their approach is trauma-informed, combining psychological, somatic and integrative techniques to ensure care is tailored to the client’s history and condition.
For offerings involving psilocybin-assisted therapy (via The Integration Room), the website emphasizes careful preparation, integration support, and a supportive therapeutic container—pre-journey preparation and post-integration follow-up are part of the model.

Care pathway

A prospective client begins by contacting The Berrocal Method (or The Integration Room) to book therapy or — for those interested — psilocybin-assisted inner-work. After intake, clients engage in psychotherapy sessions (individual, trauma-informed, possibly EMDR or hypnotherapy-based). For those in the psychedelic-assisted track, preparations are carried out before any guided session, followed by the experience and then integration work to help process insights and foster lasting healing. The therapeutic plan — whether conventional psychotherapy or deeper inner-work — is tailored individually, depending on the client’s needs and personal history.
