Treatment-Resistant Depression

When nothing else has worked, a different path may be possible.

If you’ve tried multiple medications, therapies, or approaches and are still struggling, you’re not alone. Treatment-resistant depression can feel discouraging, exhausting, and at times, hopeless.

At Reunion Psychedelic Therapy, we offer a different model, one that combines evidence-based psychotherapy with carefully guided psychedelic-assisted treatments to help unlock meaningful change where other approaches have fallen short.

What is Treatment-Resistant Depression?

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is typically defined as depression that has not improved after trying at least two standard treatments, such as antidepressant medications or traditional therapy.

For many, this can feel like being stuck, wanting relief, but not knowing where to turn next.

A New Approach: Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy

Rather than only managing symptoms, our approach focuses on creating the conditions for deeper psychological and neurological change.

We offer a structured, three-phase process:

  • Preparation – Comprehensive assessment, intention-setting, and psychological readiness

  • Facilitated Experience – Carefully monitored sessions in a safe, supportive environment

  • Integration – Ongoing therapy to help translate insights into lasting change

Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP)

A breakthrough option for treatment-resistant depression

Reunion offers one of the most well-established psychedelic-assisted treatments for depression and has been widely studied for its rapid antidepressant effects.

What sets psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy apart:

  • Rapid relief – Many patients experience improvement within hours to days

  • Works differently than antidepressants – Targets glutamate and supports neuroplasticity

  • Interrupts rigid thought patterns – Can help “reset” entrenched depressive loops

  • Enhances therapy – Creates a window for deeper emotional processing and insight

At Reunion, psychedelic medicines are always paired with psychotherapy and delivered in a carefully supported environment by trained clinicians. Our focus is not just symptom relief, but meaningful, sustained transformation.

Why Reunion?

  • Evidence-informed care – Integrating approaches such as EMDR and trauma-focused therapies
