Ketamine Clinic
Integrative, medically safe, evidence-based psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a therapy based on experiential learning facilitated by the careful use of a compound that opens transformative states of consciousness. Our intervention is driven by scientific rigour, clinical safety and an integrative approach that combines medication, psychotherapy and the promotion of positive changes in the lives of our patients.
A novel treatment for depression and anxiety
Psychedelic-assisted therapy combines medication and psychological interventions to change negative, deep-rooted psychological patterns over a brief course of therapy sessions.
A therapy based on learning from experience
Psychedelic-assisted therapy unlocks transformative experiences that enable flexibility and facilitate learning from one's own organic intelligence.
A safe and evidence-based therapy
Psychedelic-assisted therapy draws on decades of research that have shown efficacy and safety in mental health conditions that often do not respond to other treatments, such as depression, anxiety and trauma.
