Psychedelic Guide
With over 25 years of experience in family practice, I've had the privilege of working with families from birth to the end of life. While remarkable progress has been made in treating certain diseases and conditions, the challenge of addressing mental health persists. Every day, individuals take the courageous step of acknowledging their struggles with mental health, seeking support in my office.
​
In the realm of mental health treatment, I've observed that medications for depression and anxiety often provide only partial relief and come with prolonged usage requirements and various side effects. Navigating through these challenges can be a time-consuming and laborious process for patients, as they strive to find treatments offering some benefit while minimizing potential side effects.
​
I am excited to be witnessing a growing body of evidence supporting the impact of psychedelic-assisted therapy on mental health and well-being. This holds promise not only for individuals dealing with end-of-life distress related to terminal illness but also for those who have found traditional measures for depression to be ineffective. It's a refreshing prospect to offer something that has the potential to make a meaningful impact on mental health, something I haven't felt in a long time.
​
During our time together, my approach is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the patient as an individual, considering both past and present circumstances that may contribute to their current situation. I bring a calm and empathetic demeanor to guide individuals through the nature of a psychedelic experience, assisting them in clarifying their intentions and preparing them for the journey ahead.
