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.

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.
During your initial appointment, your treatment team will develop a plan for you moving forward. We never require clients to pre-pay or commit to our recommendations — you can stop treatment anytime you wish.
For Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) sessions, It is necessary to have an intake appointment prior to beginning treatment.
Make an Appointment
To prepare for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, please:
- Fast from food and liquids other than water for 6 hours before your appointment time
- Arrange a ride or rideshare (e.g. Uber, Lyft) — driving is not allowed for the rest of the day/night after treatment
- Inform your treatment team of any medications you are currently taking at least two days prior to beginning KAP treatment
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.
To see if other clinical trials are available to you, visit clinicaltrials.gov.

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 clients. Prescription medications are handled on an individual basis and can be discussed with your treatment team.
You can feel confident any pharmaceuticals prescribed at the center are chosen based on the best available evidence, not corporate promotional tactics.
