Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
When traditional therapy and medications don’t address your core challenges, Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) offers a groundbreaking approach.
By combining therapeutic support with the insights gained through deepened states of consciousness, PAT fosters deep emotional healing and personal growth. At Embodied Wisdom in the ATMACENA clinic in North York, you will experience compassionate guidance and insight integration, that this transformative method engenders to support you achieving meaningful breakthroughs.
What Is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy?
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy integrates the use of psychedelic substances (ketamine, psilocybin, MDMA) with professional, scientifically proven therapeutic techniques. This combination allows clients to access deeper emotional insights and address unresolved trauma, ingrained thought patterns, and difficult emotions that traditional therapies may not fully reach. It is particularly helpful for:
Complex trauma and PTSD
Depression and anxiety disorders that resist other treatments
Addiction and substance use challenges
Chronic pain and emotional distress
Personal growth and self-esteem issues
How Does Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Work?
The PAT program is tailored to meet your unique needs. Based on a thorough assessment of your challenges and goals, there are three levels of support to choose from:
Psycholytic Sessions: Gentle doses of psychedelics, (ex. ketamine), help reduce emotional resistance and support therapeutic breakthroughs. This method is ideal for individuals new to psychedelics.
Psychedelic Sessions: Higher doses facilitate deeper states of consciousness. This stream encourages profound emotional healing while supported by experienced medical and psychotherapeutic clinical supervision.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS): A non-invasive option using magnetic fields to stimulate brain activity, it is particularly effective for treatment-resistant depression and anxiety.
Who Is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy For?
PAT is designed for those facing:
Persistent mental health challenges resistant to traditional treatments
Trauma-related symptoms such as flashbacks and dissociation
Anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Substance use disorders, including eating disorders, and chronic pain
Anxiety due to end of life or life threatening illness (hospice care, cancer diagnoses, long term chronic illness)
Stress, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns
Whether you are seeking healing or exploring self-discovery, PAT provides a safe, supported space for transformation.
