Psilocybin Assisted Therapy
We support you in the application process to access Psilocybin Assisted Therapy for treatment-resistant mental health concerns.
Psilocybin Assisted Therapy is an option that can be explored when other modalities such as antidepressants or talk-therapy don’t work, and has been used as an adjunct to therapy since the 1970’s. While the safety and effectiveness of Psilocybin in therapy is still under investigation, Health Canada allows physicians to request access for unique cases of treatment-resistant mental health concerns, specifically depression and end-of-life.
Psilocybin & its potential benefits
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms, often known as “magic” or “psychedelic” mushrooms. These mushrooms have been used in spiritual and ritual practices by indigenous cultures for centuries. After ingestion, the body metabolizes psilocybin, transforming it into psilocin.
This converted compound, psilocin, interacts with the brain’s receptors, causing the altered states of consciousness associated with psilocybin ingestion. Through its unique properties, psilocybin can open the door to deep introspection, heightened sensory perception, and a profound sense of interconnectedness. In therapeutic settings, psilocybin helps to facilitate experiences that promote self-reflection, emotional exploration, and personal growth. Research suggests that psilocybin-assisted therapy may have long-lasting positive effects on mood, well-being, and can cause a renewed sense of meaning and purpose in life
