What is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy?
A paradigm shift in mental health
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy is a break through mental health treatment that integrates the therapeutic potential of psychedelic substances such as psilocybin and ketamine with psychotherapy. These therapies are administered in a carefully controlled and supportive environment by trained professionals, offering a unique opportunity for individuals to explore and address underlying psychological issues.
Psilocybin Assisted Therapy utilizes the active compound found in "magic mushrooms" to facilitate deep introspection and emotional processing. Under the guidance of a therapist, individuals consume a carefully measured dose of psilocybin in a supportive setting conducive to therapeutic exploration. Psilocybin's ability to induce altered states of consciousness can lead to profound insights, enhanced emotional awareness, and a sense of connectedness that can facilitate therapeutic breakthroughs. We are currently offering "Personal Use Monitoring and Guidance Session" to ensure the safety and efficacy of personal use under the Natural Medicines Health Act.
Similarly, Ketamine Assisted Therapy involves the use of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, to promote rapid and profound shifts in consciousness. Ketamine's unique pharmacological properties make it an effective tool for treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. When used in conjunction with psychotherapy, ketamine can help individuals access deep-seated emotions, process traumatic memories, and reframe negative thought patterns. Both Psilocybin and Ketamine Assisted Therapy have shown promising results in clinical research for their potential to alleviate symptoms of mental illness and promote long-term psychological well-being. These therapies offer a paradigm shift in mental health treatment, providing a novel approach for individuals who have not found relief through traditional methods.
We offer guidance and support for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy sessions, guided by experienced therapists who specialize in integrating psychedelic experiences into the therapeutic process. Our comprehensive approach addresses the holistic needs of each individual, combining psychedelic therapy with evidence-based psychotherapy techniques to promote healing and transformation on a deep level.
