The short answer is yes, it could really help. However the long answer is: it's complicated--especially for someone in your situation.
To get the best effect you shouldn't be on certain medications. Many meds will dull a psychedelic experience. Some mix badly and can make you feel very sick. It's tough to know how you will respond.
The tricky part is that off your meds, you are more susceptible to mania/depression anxiety, etc., which itself might complicate your trip.
In an alternate reality someone like you should be evaluated by a doctor who can determine what meds you are taking may interfere, or should be removed due to improvements from the LSD, and work with you to step down. You should have counseling before you trip, a trained professional present to guide you, and counseling sessions in between. You should have several trips at building intensity over the course of several weeks or months.
Psychedelics are a tool, a catalyst, a teacher. But you have to do the inner work. The learning and the healing. That's why sick people need a program of healing, therapy, diet/exercise, carefully controlled meds, etc to get the most out of psychedelic medicines.
This is the safe way to do psychedelic therapy with people with pre existing mental illness and a history of medication.
I treated my bipolar with psychedelics and it helped a lot, but I wish I had more guidance and structure. Doing it on your own might really help you, but it also might not.
My advice is if you are interested, go to Amazon and look up some books. Do research. You have to be your own shaman and psychiatrist with this stuff, so learn as much as you can.

Hope this helps.
This book has been good for me. You could both read it, then if you're confident and she trusts you, you can sit for her.

Better yet, you could ask around for an experienced sitter. Holistic health providers might be able to recommend you to someone. Good luck.
I've now read it on OP's recommendation and think that this book is highly beneficial for anyone interested in this topic. Perhaps even a must read for anyone interested in this topic.
