Navigating Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy Services for Mental Health

Psychedelic Integration Therapy mushrooms at new pathways therapy in Toronto

As the emergence of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy as an option for mental health treatment gains attention amongst the general population, we at New Pathways are in the process of developing a range of individual and group services based on best clinical practices.

The science is promising - for many people, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy can be remarkably effective for treating a range of conditions including PTSD, treatment resistant depression, and end-of-life distress. If introduced wisely, it has the potential to shift and transform the therapeutic landscape of our mental health care system.

We are at a crossroads of how we deliver psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for those who need it. Our diverse team is committed to making these services more accessible in the community.

Disclaimer:  New Pathways is not a medical clinic and we do not offer psychotherapy with psychedelic medicines.  To better understand the landscape of accessing psychedelic psychotherapy with licensed professionals, please read this document we have put together. Click here for more information.

“Psychedelic informed psychotherapy is designed to provide a safe, client centred approach to supporting people who choose to use psychedelic medicines as part of their overall treatment plan for healing in mental health .”

Psychedelic Informed Psychotherapy

Psychedelic informed psychotherapy is provided by therapists who are trained in working with expanded states of consciousness. We bring a harm reduction approach to our therapeutic conversations and provide a safe space for people to explore their own insights from non-ordinary states of consciousness for the purpose of healing and transformation.

 

Expanded States of Awareness Integration Group

This four-session psychoeducational group is offered online and explores themes that arise in expanded states of consciousness, including but not limited to psychedelic experiences. We discuss ways that people can integrate the insights of these experiences into their daily life through practices such as meditation, ritual, imagery, and creativity.

 

Psychedelic Therapy Services Consultation

More and more people are hearing of the potential of psychedelics, and may even know someone personally who has benefitted from them. While there are now pathways to accessing legal psychedelic services, the application and navigation process can be complex and confusing. With this in mind, we offer a consultation service to help with understanding the options available in the current landscape and consider how it fits into your mental health treatment plan.

 

Collaboration with Medical Providers

We are developing a network of collaboration with medical providers who can provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and applications to Health Canada’s Special Access Program for psilocybin and MDMA. This is a limited service available for existing clients of our clinic.
