Biography

Marianela Ducca – Clinical and Integrative Psychologist (USAL) and Clinical Sexologist.

Facilitator at the Microdosing Institute and member of the EPSILON research team, the first national survey on psilocybin in Argentina.

Why Psychedelics?

"I am interested in psychedelics because they expand the framework from which we understand human experience. Psilocybin, in particular, opens up a space where rigid patterns become more flexible and we can observe our narratives with greater clarity and less defensiveness.

In a context of high demand for mental health care, their main value is that they invite us to update the model: it is not enough to treat symptoms; we need to understand processes and how we relate to what we experience. Psilocybin enables this type of work by integrating biological, psychological, and emotional dimensions into a more ethical and relational approach.

When properly accompanied, it becomes a concrete tool for promoting sustainable change, greater presence, and internal reorganization that directly impacts quality of life."
