What is Psychedelic Therapy?

Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and self-improvement techniques during a mental state of accelerated acceptance, peace and flexibility. Psychedelic medicine enhances neuroplasticity, which allows our mind to overcome rigid thinking and negative thought patterns. As a result, therapeutic exploration becomes easier and more efficient. By deconstructing rigid neurological and emotional barriers, psychedelic therapy promotes transformational shifts in perspective.

• Minor short-term side effects and no known long-term side effects

Is Ketamine Legal?

This is a great question and a common misconception about ketamine. Ketamine is FDA- approved and is used daily in hospitals around the world. Over the last 50 years, ketamine has been used in hospitals as an anesthetic. Within the last 20 years, researchers have discovered multiple uses that could treat mental health conditions with ketamine. In fact, the evidence is so strong the American Psychiatric Association put out a statement saying that the antidepressant effects of ketamine are both rapid and robust. A derivative of ketamine, called Esketamine, was granted an FDA approval for treatment-resistant depression. Yes, ketamine is absolutely legal, tested to be effective, and safe for as long as it is prescribed by a licensed physician and there’s Peer Support present during your session. There are some people who should not use ketamine to treat their issues, please visit our blog for more information.

Scientifically-Proven Treatments

A form of ketamine, Esketamine, is an FDA-approved medication for depression. Ketamine is prescribed “off-label” as an alternative treatment for depression and anxiety. Over the last two decades, research has established ketamine as a safe, effective, and fast-acting treatment for effectively improving many treatment-resistant conditions.
