  • While many members of our team are at the forefront of research into these and other innovative psychedelic therapies, some substances — like MDMA or psilocybin — are only available through clinical trials at this time. As new treatments become more widely available in medical settings, we will be able to expand our services.

    Our center is a study site for a Compass Pathways Psilocybin Study. Click here to learn more, or visit our services page to learn more about the treatments we offer.

  • Yes! All services at our center are legal, safe, and confidential. Each service we provide is based on extensive peer-reviewed research and abides by all relevant regulations.

    We do not provide or endorse the use of illegal substances due to current drug policy and the ongoing negative impact on marginalized members of our community.

    As with any rapidly growing industry, psychedelic medicine has a wide range of practitioners operating with a variety of licenses and methods. At our center, we prioritize ethical practices, operate from an evidence-based perspective, and work with experienced, educated psychiatric and mental health professionals.

    Even if you’ve had a negative experience with psychedelics in another setting, we hope to provide a safe environment for you to find relief.

  • Treatment plans at our center are created depending on your particular needs and the type of treatment.

    Psychotherapy treatment typically consists of one 50-minute session per week.

    Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy typically starts with two 90-minute sessions per week for four total weeks, followed by an individualized maintenance plan. You are encouraged to stay onsite for an additional 30 minutes of recovery following your session.

    Psychedelic Integration Therapy can be as simple as a one-time appointment to process a single experience or a more complex, individualized plan determined by your particular needs.

  • To prepare for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, please:

    1. Fast from food and liquids other than water for 6 hours before your appointment time

    2. Arrange a ride or rideshare (e.g. Uber, Lyft) — driving is not allowed for the rest of the day/night after treatment

    3. Inform your treatment team of any medications you are currently taking at least two days prior to beginning KAP treatment

  • We administer ketamine via intramuscular injection into the arm. This type of administration provides an experiential component that we think is uniquely valuable and highly bioavailable compared to other common methods.

    This level of bioavailability (98%) is comparable to IV administration but with lowered cost and invasiveness, and is much higher than the bioavailability of nasal or oral administration.

  • Psychiatric medication management may be available for existing clients. Prescription medications are handled on an individual basis and can be discussed with your treatment team.

    Our medical director, Dr. Marta, has taken the AMSA PharmFree Pledge - a commitment to accept no money, gifts, or other benefits from the pharmaceutical industry. You can feel confident any pharmaceuticals prescribed at the center are chosen based on the best available evidence, not corporate promotional tactics.
