Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Why Psychedelics?
Psychedelic medicines offer a potent means through which individuals can access transformational information and transcendent experiences that provide enduring changes in life. For many, these compounds unlock the doorway into the depths of human experience, shining a light on the root sources of present day struggles or difficulties.
Who Is This For?
If you are someone who does not feel like the current medical model is effective for you, psychedelics may be worthwhile to consider. These medicines can be especially effective for those who feel stuck and are in search of a breakthrough. Research indicates that ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can have long-term benefits for those struggling with generalized anxiety and depression.

Ketamine is legally used as an anesthetic and pain reliever in medical settings. It has a history dating back to the 1960s when it was first developed. In recent years, it has gained attention for treating conditions like depression and PTSD with many research studies suggesting it may be effective in conjunction with psychotherapy due to its dissociative and psychedelic effects.
