Psychedelic Therapy in Vancouver
Support for Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma
We combine careful screening, preparation, medicine-assisted sessions, and integration therapy to help you process emotions, shift patterns, and sustain change.
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) offers a new way to approach mental health challenges — especially when traditional treatments haven’t brought the relief you’ve hoped for.
By combining psychedelic medicine with structured therapy, PAT can help you access difficult emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and gain clarity about yourself and your life.
This process is guided by trained professionals and rooted in growing scientific evidence.
At our wellness center, we offer ketamine-assisted therapy and integration support in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment.
Every person’s journey is different, which is why we take time to assess your needs, prepare you for each step, and help you make meaning from the experience.
Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, this approach is designed to support lasting change — not just symptom relief.

Why Psychedelic Therapy?
Do you feel like you have tried everything and are not finding relief from your symptoms? You’re not alone.
Despite lifestyle changes, medications, and therapy, many people find it hard to improve their health, break unhealthy habits, and strengthen their relationships. This is where psychedelics may come in.
PAT functions as a therapeutic tool to support you:
- Access and process your emotions
- Shift into new patterns of thinking and behaving
- Either: Gain new insight into your life OR further embody the life that you want to live.
There is growing research and anecdotal evidence that PAT could help you to work with difficult experiences or trauma, reduce your anxiety, improve your mood or catalyze the momentum needed to make lasting changes.
Traditional and Sacred Uses
While western cultures are newly and quickly adopting the healing power of psychedelic medicines, many psychedelic and sacred plant medicines have been used for thousands of years by Indigenous communities worldwide.
We respectfully acknowledge the traditional and therapeutic uses of these plant medicines and advocate for collaborative relationships with the Indigenous communities in which they’re used, and the preservation and stewarding of the land where they grow. This is a unique opportunity to share and exchange wisdom in ways that support all of our communities
Interested to know more about traditional medicine practices and what can be done to support their sustainability? Head to Chacruna, the Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines.
We recognize that our wellness centre operates on the ancestral lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations, whose territories were never surrendered. It remains a top priority for us to deepen our understanding of these lands and their peoples as we strive for reconciliation. Collaboration with communities across the province underscores our commitment to respecting the unique protocols, beliefs, and needs of each Indigenous band. We commit ongoing learning and adapting to ensure the creation of safe and inclusive experiences for all individuals.

What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
For any questions or inquiries, feel free to call us or schedule an appointment.
What is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT)?
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy combines the use of a psychedelic medicine—such as ketamine—with guided psychotherapy. The medicine supports emotional openness and neuroplasticity, while therapy helps you process experiences, shift patterns, and work toward lasting change.
What mental health conditions can PAT help with?
PAT may support people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, substance use challenges, or suicidality—especially when other treatments haven’t brought relief. Suitability is assessed individually based on your health history and current needs.
Is this approach safe?
Yes, safety is a top priority. All sessions follow structured protocols, including screening, preparation, facilitated dosing (if appropriate), and integration therapy. Our team is trained to ensure the environment is supportive, trauma-informed, and culturally respectful.
What is the role of the therapist in this process?
The therapist supports you throughout the entire process—from preparation and intention-setting, through the assisted session, to integration afterward. Their role is to help you make sense of your experience and apply what you’ve learned in a practical, grounded way.
Is this the same as taking psychedelics recreationally?
No. PAT is a clinical, therapeutic process with a clear purpose and structure. It’s not about escape or entertainment—it’s about working through emotional challenges with professional support in a safe and intentional setting.
