The new year is coming, and with it a revolutionary new treatment known as Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT). Couples Healing Center is excited to offer Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (currently limited to Ketamine Assisted Therapy) starting 1/1/23!
Join the revolution!
Psychotherapy is undergoing another revolution: the fifth-wave of psychotherapy has arrived. With the aid of psychedelic medicines, now you have an opportunity to break through long-standing trauma and mood issues in a matter of sessions rather than struggling for years.
We have therapists who are trained in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and as of 1/1/23, we will start providing Ketamine Assisted therapy virtually and in-person.

What is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT)?
For thousands of years, cultures around the world have been using psychedelic substances in holistic medicine and spiritual practices. However, research into their potential therapeutic benefits almost came to an abrupt end when they were made illegal in the US during the 1960s. In recent years however, researchers have found that Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) has significant potential for treating mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and even addiction.
Can I benefit from Psychedelic Assisted Therapy?
Yes, you can benefit from psychedelic assisted therapy. Psychedelic-assisted therapies use a range of substances such as psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine to induce altered states of consciousness used to treat a variety of mental health issues. These altered states of consciousness can provide clients with greater insight into their psychological well-being, allowing them to better understand underlying causes and find more effective ways to address behaviors and emotions.
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy for individuals.
Recent scientific studies have shown that the use of psychedelics in combination with psychotherapy can be helpful in treating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders and substance abuse problems.
During the PAT process, a therapist guides the individual through a series of psychedelic experiences that are tailored to their specific needs and goals. But overall, in working with individuals, PAT fosters; 1) creativity, 2) empathy, 3) understanding of one’s self, 4) deeper insights into life’s larger meaning, 5) reductions in symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD and addiction, 6) improved quality-of-life ratings, 7) reduction the risk for suicide in high-risk groups, and 8) improved mood in general.

Psychedelic Assisted Therapy for couples.
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) for couples is an innovative and holistic approach to couples therapy. Through PAT, couples can explore underlying patterns in their relationship dynamics that may be difficult to identify without psychedelic assistance.
In working with couples, PAT fosters; 1) increased emotional openness, 2) acceptance of difficult feelings, 3) improved communication skills, 4) enhanced creativity for problem-solving,5) accelerated learning about oneself and one’s partner, 6) amplified healing from traumas or psychological wounds, 7) improved forgiveness for one’s self or others involved in the relationship, and 8) increased trust between partners, which in turn encourages 9) greater intimacy and love between them.
Furthermore, it has been proposed that since psychedelics are known to increase empathy towards others as well as help reduce fear-avoidance behavior associated with common mental health issues by helping individuals confront uncomfortable thoughts or feelings instead of avoiding them; this could potentially be beneficial when applied to couple’s therapy because it could help dissolve long-standing negative patterns between spouses that were previously difficult to address.
It is important to note that PAT should not be attempted without the guidance of a qualified professional, who is knowledgeable about psychedelics and trained in working with them safely as part of therapy sessions. Couples Healing Center can provide this space for you though carefully monitored sessions facilitated by highly trained therapists.
