Is it better to take psilocybin mushrooms with a psychedelic therapist or by yourself for the mental health benefits?

I received some Magic Mushrooms from a friend last Wednesday and he also gave me the mushrooms in capsules, I took one capsule the day he gave me and didn’t feel anything, the next day I took three with one actual mushroom, now I took the capsules a half hour before I ate the mushroom and I think a 45 minutes after eating the mushroom I felt numb all over. I closed my eyes and laid side ways on the couch and I say colors moving vividly as my eyes were closed but after all the effects were gone my mind was processing things a bit different but Friday and yesterday I was back in my head and I noticed while feeling social anxiety and negative thoughts it’s a little easier for me to switch them off than before but, everyone is saying their psychedelic experience was with a guided therapist and it changed their mental health precisely, so moving forward I was wondering if I should do this with a guided therapist or find a better way to do it by myself.

I was rejected by Adams clinical in Philadelphia and UPenn, first Adams clinical rejected me because on screening day which was yesterday they said I answered questions pertaining to PTSD and Anxiety instead of depression which I was being studied for, mind you this happened after they took five blood samples from me. Then today I got on the phone with UPenn to do a survey and after the survey they said I’m not eligible because I haven’t taken any antidepressants. This is BS because I want to go the natural route but I don’t know anyone so I tried to do it through clinical trials and just getting shut down.
