WHAT IS PSYCHEDELIC ASSISTED THERAPY?
You have may have heard in the news that the US recently signed an executive order fast-tracking psychedelic medicines through the FDA — a signal of where mainstream medicine is heading. Canada’s regulatory environment is not far behind.
PAT is physician-supervised medical treatments for depression and anxiety combining medicine (e.g. ketamine) and psychotherapy in a structured approach designed to support individuals navigating complex mental health challenges.
At our clinics, psychedelic-assisted therapy is delivered by a multidisciplinary team in a safe, supportive, and professional environment. Every client receives a tailored care plan that includes screening, preparation, medicine sessions, and integration — all designed to ensure that insights gained in session can be thoughtfully processed and applied in everyday life.
