Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy with
MDMA
What is Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy with MDMA?
Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy with MDMA is an emerging treatment approach that combines MDMA with structured psychotherapy to treat mental health conditions. MDMA — a psychoactive compound known for its empathogenic effects — fosters feelings of safety, openness, and emotional connection, making it easier for individuals to explore and resolve deep-seated psychological challenges.
Is MDMA Right for Me?
Research has shown promising results for MDMA in addressing:
PTSD
Particularly effective for severe or treatment-resistant PTSD
Anxiety Disorders
Reduces symptoms of social anxiety and existential anxiety.
Relationship Issues
Enhances emotional understanding and empathy in couples therapy.
Depression
Helps alleviate symptoms of chronic depression, particularly when linked to trauma.
How Does MDMA Work?
MDMA increases the release of serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine, fostering feelings of trust, compassion, and emotional safety. These effects allow individuals to revisit traumatic memories without being overwhelmed, making therapy more effective in processing and resolving these experiences.
MDMA-assisted sessions typically last 6–8 hours and are followed by integrative therapy in the following days or weeks. Throughout the process, you are supported by a team trained to help you feel safe, grounded, and supported.
Why MDMA?
When used under medical supervision, MDMA has shown potential to reduce fear responses, promote trust and connection, and assist with the emotional processing of traumatic memories. These qualities may support individuals dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related challenges.

How it Works
1. Screening & Eligibility
Participants must be referred by a licensed health professional and go through a specific application process. A full medical and psychological assessment is completed to ensure eligibility and safety.
2. Preparation
Clients take part in preparatory sessions with licensed psychotherapists. This helps build trust, clarify intentions, and establish therapeutic safety.
3. MDMA Session
MDMA is administered by a medical professional authorized to work with controlled substances. Sessions are closely monitored by members of our interdisciplinary team to ensure physical and emotional safety.
4. Integration
Follow-up sessions help clients reflect on and integrate their experiences. Integration is essential for lasting impact and emotional growth.
