WTF is PAT (and how does it work)?

Psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is exactly what it sounds like—therapy combining the power of psychedelic medicines with a therapist who is trained to guide you through your psychedelic experience.

This cutting-edge form of psychotherapy can be coupled with a range of psychedelic medicines—namely psilocybin (magic mushrooms), MDMA (ecstasy), ketamine, or LSD—to help you access altered states of consciousness, where you can explore your inner world, heal your emotional wounds, and discover new insights and perspectives.

However, for the purposes of this resource page, we're primarily focusing on psilocybin mushrooms, with honorable mentions of other psychedelics.

By incorporating psychedelics, psychedelic-assisted therapy amplifies the benefits of more "conventional" therapies to help you more quickly catalyze change and break free from depression and anxiety, overcome internalized limiting beliefs, break free of dysfunctional thought patterns, and shine in your career (to name a few).

That's because psilocybin, among other psychedelics, interacts with key brain regions and chemicals that play central roles in neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to re-organize and adapt), mood, memory, and more.

But psychedelic therapy is not for everyone. It requires careful preparation, intention, and follow-up.

Neither is it a new form of therapy.

Indigenous cultures and ancestral traditions have used psychedelic medicines for thousands of years to heal, connect, and transform. Sure, it's experiencing a modern resurgence in Western medicinal practices, but to call it a renaissance simply ignores what they already knew.

Context aside, let's get into who it's for, and how you can access it.

Is psychedelic therapy for me?

In a nutshell, PAT might be right for you if you feel consistently limited by your thoughts (mind) and emotions (body). Some psychologists and practitioners call these types of thoughts self-limiting beliefs. All of us have them, but how far we're able to move past them determines our uniquely personal versions of success.

Psychedelic therapy may help you get to the core of what's important. And part of discovering what's really important is learning what isn't. Many of us spend too much of our lives being blindly led by our egos.

Why does that matter?

Because the ego has a hunger for materialistic success that can seldom be satisfied.

When you wrap those two concepts up, the twin impact is transformational:

Psychedelic therapy can help you get closer to who you are—not who your ego wants you to be—and drop limiting beliefs.

Sounds better, doesn't it?

Psychedelic integration therapy may also be right for you if:

• You have treatment-resistant PTS/PTSD
• You struggle with substance addiction
• You have treatment-resistant mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, etc)
• You experience what feels like ‘stuck thoughts’ and want to rewire your brain
• You need an extra boost of creativity for work or school

What can I expect during a psychedelic therapy session?

An in-person psychedelic therapy typically goes something like this:

1. You meet with a pair of therapists, most commonly a male and a female.
2. You and your therapists undergo several conventional therapy sessions in preparation. These preparatory sessions are used to build rapport and increase trust.
3. During your final preparatory session, prior to the psychedelic session, you'll go over patient expectations.
4. The therapists support you throughout the entire psychedelic experience, which may last for up to 10 hours. Some actively guide you, while others merely observe without judgment and only step in to help calm and relax you if you appear to be in distress.
5. During the session, you may be provided with aids like eyeshades, curated music playlists, and are encouraged to "let go" and see where the plant medicine takes you.
6. After the psychedelic session is over, you'll go through several shorter integration sessions help you incorporate insights and epiphanies into your conceptualization of who you are.
7. In some cases, you may repeat the above psychedelic session as many times as necessary.

How can I access psychedelic therapy in Canada?

Psychedelic therapy is still a novel and experimental form of treatment in Canada. On paper, getting it is a bit of a process, and you can access psychedelic therapy with trained therapists for therapeutic purposes if you qualify. Thankfully, many of the clinics on this list will actually assist you with the applications.

But in practice, because of the grassroots, communal nature of plant medicines, there are many loopholes and work-arounds. There is a blossoming underground psychedelic therapy movement. What's more, many therapists and clinics that identify as psychedelic-friendly, including the ones in this directory, are likely to provide referrals to reputable companies like My Supply Co., and may even guide you through your psychedelic journey, either in-person or virtually. However, there's a slim-to-none chance that they will actually acquire the psilocybin on your behalf. Please contact us if you need help finding a psychedelic therapist who can guide you through your psychedelic journey.

Below are the mainstream Health Canada-approved options for accessing psychedelic therapy in Canada, as well as the requirements, limitations, and challenges involved.

P.S. While the programs below are the official, government-regulated way of obtaining psychedelics, it isn't necessary to go through them to work with a psychedelic therapist. Most psychedelic therapists in this directory will assist you with the preparation (pre-journey) and integration (post-journey) parts of your psychedelic healing if you're able to get your hands on the psychedelic medicines yourself.

Special Access Program (SAP)

The Special Access Program (SAP) is a program run by Health Canada that allows health practitioners to request access to drugs that are not approved for sale in Canada for patients with serious or life-threatening conditions. In January 2023, Health Canada expanded the SAP to include psychedelic medicines, such as psilocybin and MDMA, for patients with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health issues.

To access psychedelic therapy through the SAP, you need to meet the following criteria:

• You have a serious or life-threatening condition that has not responded to conventional treatments.
• You have a health practitioner who is willing and able to prescribe and administer the psychedelic medicine.
• You have obtained informed consent from your health practitioner and signed a consent form.
• You have a safe and supportive setting where you can receive the psychedelic therapy.

Unfortunately, the SAP is not a guarantee of access.

Health Canada reviews each request on a case-by-case basis and may approve or deny it based on various factors, such as the availability of the drug, the evidence of its safety and efficacy, the potential risks and benefits, and the ethical and legal implications. The approval process may take several weeks or months, depending on the complexity of the request.

The SAP is also not a source of supply.

Health Canada does not provide or distribute the psychedelic medicines. The health practitioner who makes the request is responsible for obtaining the medicine from a licensed producer or importer, or from a clinical trial site.

The cost of the drug and the therapy may not be covered by public or private health insurance plans.

If you need financial assistance, the My Supply Co. PAT Fund can help you access these medicines at affordable rates, so you don't have to break the bank to get quality, effective medicines.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are research studies that test new drugs or interventions for safety and effectiveness in humans. Clinical trials are one of the main ways to access psychedelic therapy in Canada, as they are exempt from the prohibition of psychedelic medicines under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

To participate in a clinical trial, you need to meet the following criteria:

• You have a specific condition that matches the eligibility criteria of the trial.
• You have a referral from your physician or psychiatrist.
• You have completed a screening process that may include medical tests, psychological assessments, and interviews.
• You have signed an informed consent form that explains the purpose, procedures, risks, benefits, and alternatives of the trial.

Clinical trials are usually conducted in phases, from Phase I to Phase IV, with different objectives and outcomes.

Phase I trials test the safety and dosage of a new drug in a small group of healthy volunteers. Phase II trials test the efficacy and side effects of a new drug in a larger group of patients with a specific condition. Phase III trials compare the new drug with existing treatments or placebo in a randomized and controlled way in a large group of patients with a specific condition. Phase IV trials monitor the long-term effects and safety of a new drug after it has been approved for sale.

The trouble is that clinical trials are not without limitations and challenges.

They may be hard to find or access, as they are often located in specific sites or regions. They may also have strict eligibility criteria that exclude many potential participants. They may involve randomization and blinding, which means that you may not know if you are receiving the actual drug or a placebo. They may also require frequent visits and follow-ups, which may be inconvenient or costly.

Section 56 Exemptions

Section 56 exemptions are written authorizations from the Minister of Health that allow individuals or groups to possess, produce, distribute, import, export, or use controlled medicines for medical, scientific, or public interest purposes. Section 56 exemptions are granted on an exceptional basis and are subject to various terms and conditions.

To obtain a Section 56 exemption for personal use of psychedelics for medical purposes, you need to meet the following criteria:

• You have a terminal illness with less than six months to live.
• You have severe psychological distress that has not responded to conventional treatments.
• You have a physician or psychiatrist who supports your request and agrees to monitor your use of the psychedelic medicine.
• You have completed an application form that includes your personal information, medical history, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment plan, consent form, and supporting documents.

Section 56 exemptions are very rare and difficult to obtain.

As of July 2023, only 35 Canadians have received Section 56 exemptions for psilocybin therapy for end-of-life distress. The application process is lengthy and complex, requiring multiple steps and approvals. The wait time for a response may range from several weeks to several months, depending on the volume and nature of the requests.

Section 56 exemptions are also not a source of supply.

The applicants are responsible for finding and obtaining the psychedelic from a legal source, such as a licensed producer or importer, or a clinical trial site. The cost of the medicine and the therapy may not be covered by public or private health insurance plans.

If you need financial assistance, the My Supply Co. PAT Fund can help you access these medicines at affordable rates, so you don't have to break the bank to get quality, effective medicines.

Top psychedelic therapy clinics in Canada.

Every member of the team uses a trauma-informed approach at their foundation, but that's not all.

According to their website, "It is our view that psychedelic, 'dissociative' and altered experiences may well be instrumental in providing a catalyst for deep change, healing and recovery. It is also our view that relief from adversities and sufferance provided by ketamine and psylocibin, in assistance of specialized therapy and the exploration and experience of other possible states of consciousness are singularly impactful."

"If you feel like you could benefit from this type of therapy, please know that I am experienced and trained, and feel it to be an honour to help people integrate and strengthen their insights, choices and healing after a journey."

Psychedelic Therapy Clinics in Saskatoon, SK

According to the Canadian Encyclopedia:

“In the 1950s, Saskatchewan was home to some of the most important psychedelic research in the world. Saskatchewan-based psychiatrist Humphry Osmond coined the word psychedelic in 1957. In the mental health field, therapies based on guided LSD and mescaline trips offered an alternative to long-stay care in asylums.”

Their program consists of five phases: consultation, preparation, treatment, integration, and beyond. In the consultation phase, clients meet with their therapist to establish their goals and expectations for the therapy. In the preparation phase, you'll go through exercises to set intentions for the results you wish to achieve. In the treatment phase, you'll receive a dose of ketamine over several sessions and enter a state of altered consciousness that can help you reframe negative thought patterns. In the integration phase, you'll create a behavior-change plan that will help you adopt healthier habits for a lasting change in your mood and well-being. Lastly, the beyond phase provides you with tools, strategies, and online access to the Field Trip team so you can stay on track and continue your journey to healing at home.

Empire Psychotherapy

One of the few clinics offering true psilocybin therapy in Canada, Empire Psychotherapy's aim is to help accelerate the healing process of those with distressing emotional symptoms by combining psilocybin with psychotherapy.

Psilocybin therapy starts by building trust and a strong therapeutic relationship prior to the session. This foundation ensures your comfort and support throughout the session. This includes discussing session details, physical boundaries, and potential side effects.

Once in a relaxing environment, you'll receive a carefully measured dose of psilocybin while soothing music plays. A dedicated therapist will be by your side throughout the experience, encouraging open dialogue to explore your insights and promote positive emotional and behavioral changes.

For optimal results, we recommend preparing by meditating, journaling, or practicing basic emotional regulation skills.

Margarita only focuses on psychedelic integration, and does not offer facilitated psychedelic sessions.

With over 15 years of experience, Mya Barak, founder of New Hope Counselling Support, believes that "psychedelics assist us in transferring throughts into intrinsic beliefs." That the "psychedelics create opportunities for us to unlock the root causes of suffering, allowing people to recognize and fundamentally change their patterned feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that keep us stuck."

He understands the experiences of altered states of consciousness, and will not dismiss anything you choose to share about your own.

"I know that, after the 'light show' has ended, integration is key to understanding and growth. I can help you make sense of the lessons from your experience and integrate them into your day-to-day life."

Psychedelic Therapy Clinics in Halifax, NS

Unfortunately, our research revealed that there are very few psychedelic clinics in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As a result, there's a growing underground psychedelic therapy movement involving both individuals and therapists.

“There is a growing trend of underground therapy,” Nova Scotia Psychedelic Society co-founder Justin Andrews tells CBC. “We’re staying as above board as possible with everything, but it is hard. People want this. People are excited about the healing potential which is why I stress that people understand the politics and policy behind these things.”

Luckily, we were able to unearth three that are providing psychedelic-assisted therapy, albeit focused on ketamine, not psilocybin.

Coastal Ketamine Clinic

Located in idyllic Halifax, Coastal Ketamine Clinic provides access to ketamine treatments for treatment-resistant conditions, such as treatment-resistant depression (TRD), anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, OCD, and addiction.

Novaket Ketamine Infusion Clinic

NovaKet offers effective ketamine treatments for conditions like treatment-resistant depression and PTSD. Their structured protocol involves six infusions over three weeks, ideally administered twice a week at our Halifax clinic. Each session lasts about 45 minutes, with 45 minutes of post-treatment monitoring by a physician.

Patients enjoy a comfortable environment during the infusion and require a companion for safe transportation home. After the initial six infusions, patients work with their mental health physician for follow-up "booster" infusions, typically at 1-3 month intervals.

It's important to note that while ketamine provides a promising therapy, it isn't a cure but offers a new treatment option for those who haven't responded to other modalities.
