Learn more about PureMind Clinical and how we can help you on your healing journey.
Psychedelic Therapy is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) exercises, Psychodynamic Therapy exercises, treatments and self-improvement techniques during a mental state of accelerated acceptance, peace and flexibility. Psychedelic medicine has been shown to enhance neuroplasticity, which may allow your mind to overcome rigid thinking and negative thought patterns. As a result, therapeutic exploration becomes easier and more efficient. By deconstructing rigid neurological and emotional barriers, this therapy can help promote transformational shifts in perspective.
Sessions are completed at your own time in the comfort of your own home. Beginning with your member portal, self-administered medication, along with treatment preparation (prior to first treatment) and post-session integration coaching. This is accompanied by an online safety and self-guided therapeutic program. Before and after your online ketamine treatments it is mandatory that you adhere to everything in the treatment protocol in the Members Section, which is accessible after a clinician accepts you into the PureMind Clinical program.
Unfortunately it is not covered by insurance at this time. We created this program to help bring this effective treatment as a cost effective alternative to I.V. treatments which can cost $3,000 to $5,000 for 1 month of treatments.
We also offer payment plans with multiple third-party financing options.
Yes, after your initial sessions are complete our medical team will advise and determine continuation of the program.
