Transformative modalities of healing

Lets Talk about Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy
In recent years, the field of mental health has experienced a powerful shift toward more integrative, compassionate, and evidence-informed models of care. One such emerging approach is Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP) — a clinical modality that blends the intentional use of psychedelic medicines with psychotherapeutic support to promote deep healing and transformation.
At Healthy Healing & Wellness, we are honored to offer this groundbreaking work as part of our trauma-informed, holistic care model. PAP has shown promising outcomes for individuals living with PTSD and Complex PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and other persistent mental health concerns. The powerful healing potential of PAP reaches even further, supporting not only symptom relief but also expanded insight, emotional release, spiritual connection, and a deepened sense of acceptance and inner peace.
PAP is not simply about the use of the medicine; it is about creating a safe and structured container for healing and the ongoing integration and incorporation of psychotherapy. Through this approach, psychedelic medicines are used in conjunction with psychotherapy to help clients access parts of the psyche that may be difficult to reach through traditional talk therapy alone.
Psychedelic medicines such as Ketamine, Psilocybin, and MDMA are known to support a range of therapeutic benefits. These include:
• Soothing the autonomic nervous system and related trauma responses
• Reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety
• Increasing neuroplasticity and emotional flexibility
• Enhancing connection to self, others, and the world
• Accessing unconscious material for processing
• Facilitating spiritual insight and meaning-making
At Healthy Healing & Wellness, we approach these medicines with the utmost reverence and intentionality, recognizing their power to deepen biological, psychological, and spiritual connections within ourselves and with the universe around us.
Currently, Healthy Healing & Wellness offers Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) — a legal and accessible psychedelic therapy option in clinical settings. Ketamine, when used in a therapeutic context, can help soften the barriers of the ego, reduce depressive and anxious symptomatology, enhance treatment outcomes for those with PTSD/C-PTSD and allows for enriched self-reflection and emotional processing.
Healthy Healing & Wellness also provides psychedelic integration services, which support individuals in making sense of and incorporating experiences from non-ordinary states of consciousness. Whether someone has undergone a psychedelic journey in a ceremonial setting, clinical study, or therapeutic context, integration is a crucial part of turning those insights into lasting growth and healing.
Our services are available in a variety of formats to meet each individual where they are:
• Individual Sessions
• Couples Therapy
• Group Experiences
• Retreat Offerings
PAP at Healthy Healing & Wellness honors the whole person. It is a deeply intentional and relational process rooted in safety, presence, and curiosity. We respect that each person’s healing journey is unique and are committed to walking alongside our clients with compassion and skill.
As this field continues to grow and evolve, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of ethical care, informed consent, and cultural sensitivity. We believe this work has the power not only to relieve suffering, but to reconnect people with their innate capacity for healing, creativity, and wholeness.
