Treatment Trajectory

Outlined below is an example of a typical treatment trajectory. Some people need more time to prepare for a medicine session to build trust with their counsellor, to unpack emotional or mental context or to allow for more time to organize life and obligations to allow for the best possible integration. The medicine begins when the client engages with the process at all; your therapy and healing will unfold at its own pace.

  • This is a chance for clients to inquire initially about psychedelic-assisted therapy and determine the goodness-of-fit between the therapist and themselves.

  • The purpose of this questionnaire is to determine the level of readiness of a client and screen for rule-out and delay criteria such as medication, circumstances, health factors or relevant family health history. This information will be shared with appropriate allied health members such as doctors, pharmacists and/or nurses to ensure the utmost safety. This questionnaire may also lend insights into the likelihood of obtaining a Special Access Program approval with Health Canada.

  • A minimum of three hours* regarding the client’s bio-psycho-social history.  The purpose of the prep work is to uncover themes in the person’s story and develop an intention for the medicine day.

    (*some people’s prep may take longer than this depending on what’s coming up in the sessions, relative stability in circumstances, and whether medication needs to be weaned)

    $170 per hour

  • 30 minutes to One hour - This appointment ideally takes place in the location of the medicine day and is meant to survey setting for adjustments, and discuss the mindset and intentions for the medicine day. 

    $170 per hour (billed by the half hour)

  • This appointment is 5-8 hours in duration and takes place in-person with the client’s therapist and an additional trained and qualified sitter.  It includes everything needed for the journey (clients with Special Access Program Approval from Health Canada will have the medicine prescribed).

    $1700 if the client provides an appropriate private and safe space within a 50 km radius from Squamish, BC.

    $1950 if the clinician provides the space in Squamish, BC.

  • A minimum of one 1-hour integration session is required.  The purpose of the integration session is to discuss the takeaways form the medicine journey and discover ways to nurture new, productive ways of being and continue releasing the parts that no longer need to stay. 

    $170 per hour

  • Fee total* is between $2,550 - $2,800 depending on the location for the medicine session (see "Medicine Session" drop down).

    *if more preparation sessions or more integration sessions are needed or wanted, they are billed at the hourly rate of $170.
