Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Ketamine has a long history as a respected medical anesthetic. While traditionally used in surgical and emergency department settings, Ketamine is now widely recognized for its rapid effects on depression, PTSD, anxiety, substance misuse, and other mental health challenges.
When used in a therapeutic setting, Ketamine’s dissociative effects can help create a window of opportunity for important psychological shifts.

our therapeutic approach
Psychedelic assisted therapy is helping people heal and grow by addressing emotional pain and expanding awareness.
Emerging research continues to reveal its capacity to nurture ones well being and restore balance across the human experience.
Special-Access Program (SAP)
Health Canada’s Special Access Program (SAP) allows regulated access to psilocybin and MDMA for treatment-resistant conditions on a case-by-case basis.
Healthcare providers can submit an application in support of their client's care in cases where conventional treatments have been ineffective.
Permitting legal access to psychedelic-assisted therapy, ahead of full regulatory approval, puts Canada at the forefront of global psychedelic medicine.
Psilocybin-Assisted & MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy
Psilocybin-Assisted & MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy
Under Canada’s Special-Access Program, psilocybin and MDMA protocols require collaboration between a prescriber, like a physician or nurse practitioner, and a lead therapist. This collaboration helps ensure a structured and supportive treatment process.
Today, the specific conditions approved for psilocybin are treatment-resistant depression and end-of-life distress. PTSD is the only condition approved for MDMA treatment.
Approved treatment protocols for psilocybin and MDMA include three dosing sessions over a one-year period with required preparation and integration sessions to help patients process their experiences.
While Special-Access Program approval facilitates admission into a treatment program, costs associated with treatment are the patient's responsibility.
