   INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Individual therapy, which is also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a key part of taking care of your mental health. It involves private, one-on-one meetings between you and your therapist. These meetings are a safe and confidential place where you can talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, actions, and life events. Currently, all of our individual sessions are happening online.

PSYCHEDELIC ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

We're excited to share with you a special kind of therapy we offer in collaboration with Journey Clinical. It's called Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP), and it's a gentle, all-encompassing method that uses a carefully chosen medicine alongside traditional psychotherapy. This approach can help those who qualify to have more frequent and lasting breakthroughs in their symptoms. We're here to guide you through the psychotherapy part of your journey, while the caring medical team at Journey Clinical takes care of all the medical details. They'll help you see if you're eligible, create a personalized treatment plan just for you, prescribe the necessary medicine, and keep an eye on your progress.

Below is more information about PAP to help you navigate if it may be a good fit for you.

PSYCHEDELIC ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

WHAT IS IT?

Explore our innovative approach to mental health care, which utilizes a safe and legal medication known for its rapid and effective results in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. This therapy offers quick relief, with mood-lifting effects often noticeable within just 1-2 hours post-treatment. Our method targets key brain receptors, promoting the creation of new connections and strengthening neural pathways that control stress and emotional well-being. This enhanced neuroplasticity supports long-term improvement in symptoms, providing a comprehensive solution for mental health challenges.

HOW DOES THE MEDICINE FEEL?

The effects of  the medicine, which most patients find pleasant, last for approximately 45 minutes. These effects can make you feel “far from” your body, and facilitate shifts in perception that can often feel expansive in nature. Your motor and verbal abilities will be reduced, so you’ll be lying down in a comfortable position during the experience. Once these effects subside, we’ll spend the remainder of our appointment giving you space to process and discuss your experience. While it may feel hard to articulate what happens during the experience, patients feel like the insights gained are clear.

HOW DOES PSYCHEDELIC-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY WORK?

  • 1. Initial consultation with Journey Clinical prescriber, eligibility check and ketamine prescription.
