Services
Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy
Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy integrates ketamine with traditional therapy to address treatment-resistant depression, trauma, and chronic mental health conditions. This approach allows clients to access unconscious material, gain new perspectives, and develop personalized healing strategies. Our clinicians provide guided sessions in individual, couples, group, and retreat settings, emphasizing safety and integration.
Relational Psychotherapy
Relational psychotherapy focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being through client-centered dialogue. Our therapists address depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and life transitions, tailoring sessions to individual, couples, and family needs. This evidence-based approach fosters self-awareness and healthier relational patterns.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines low-dose ketamine administration with psychotherapy to accelerate healing for mood disorders and trauma. Sessions include preparation, medicine experiences, and integration support, conducted in-office or at-home under professional supervision. Our protocols prioritize medical oversight and personalized treatment plans for optimal outcomes.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision offers professional development for therapists incorporating psychedelic-assisted modalities into practice. We provide individual and group supervision focused on ethical implementation, analytic theory application, and navigating complex client cases. Our programs support clinicians in expanding their therapeutic toolkit with evidence-based practices.
KAP Training Programs
Our KAP training programs equip clinicians with practical skills for integrating ketamine therapy into practice. Offerings include bootcamps, role-play demonstrations, and preparation packages covering legal compliance, client assessment, and treatment protocols. These CEU-accredited courses emphasize ethical implementation and clinical effectiveness for solo and group practices.
