WELCOME
We understand that reaching out for more information about this new therapy is a significant step. We want to assure you that we're here to support and guide you through this process. Psychedelic assisted therapy offers a unique opportunity for self-discovery and transformation, and we're excited to share more about how this journey could unfold for you.
Who is Eligible?
We currently support individuals exploring psychedelic-assisted therapy who are navigating:
End of Life Anxiety/Distress
with terminal illness
End-of-life anxiety or distress is a complex emotional experience that individuals may face as they approach the final chapter of their lives. It encompasses a range of feelings, including fear, uncertainty, and apprehension about the inevitable unknown. People confronting end-of-life anxiety may grapple with existential questions, reflecting on the meaning and purpose of their lives.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions are designed to support deep emotional exploration and reflection in a carefully guided, professionally supported environment. For some individuals, this process can open space for confronting existential fears, working through unresolved emotions, and gaining new perspectives on life, death, and meaning. When combined with preparation and integration, this approach may support a greater sense of connection, acceptance, and spiritual insight
Treatment Resistant Depression
For individuals aged 18 and over who are experiencing persistent emotional distress that has not responded to conventional treatments—whether due to treatment failure, side effects, limited access, or personal choice—psychedelic-assisted therapy may offer a new approach. In a professionally guided setting, this therapeutic process can support deep introspection and help individuals explore emotional patterns that feel stuck or unresolved. When combined with thoughtful preparation and integration, this therapy may enhance emotional regulation, increase psychological flexibility, and create space for meaningful insight and healing.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Trauma
For individuals aged 18 and over living with the long-term impacts of trauma, psychedelic-assisted therapy may offer a new and hopeful path forward. Trauma can result from a wide range of distressing experiences, including direct exposure to violence, serious injury, sexual assault, or life-threatening events. It may also arise from witnessing trauma happen to others or through repeated exposure to traumatic content, such as in the roles of first responders, healthcare workers, or caregivers. These experiences can leave lasting effects on both the mind and body.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy may create space for deep emotional processing, helping individuals explore stuck trauma responses, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with a sense of safety and inner strength.
