MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy
Have you tried traditional approaches but haven’t experienced satisfactory results?
Do you struggle daily with flashbacks or other symptoms of PTSD? Have you found no change with conventional therapies? At Field Trip Health, we understand the toll severe PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) can have on one’s life and happiness. This frustration can further be exacerbated by treatments that don’t work or aren’t long-lasting. But what if you could find long-lasting relief? MDMA-assisted psychotherapy at Field Trip Health may be worth exploring.
MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is a groundbreaking new treatment that can reduce fear and anxiety and enhance self-awareness and empathy. This therapy approach merges MDMA’s effects with psychotherapy sessions for improved outcomes. The recent Phase 3 Clinical Trials by MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies, found that 88% of participants saw improvement from their treatment, and 67% no longer qualified as having PTSD. Relief is possible; you can reclaim back your life and happiness and move past debilitating PTSD.

How does MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy work?
MDMA-Assisted Therapy uses controlled amounts of MDMA alongside psychotherapy to deepen the therapeutic experience. This allows individuals to access memories, feelings, and insights with less fear or reactivity, making it an effective treatment for those with treatment-resistant PTSD. Each session is monitored and guided by trained professionals, guiding your way toward lasting healing.
While MDMA is currently illegal in Canada, it’s available based on compassionate grounds for specific treatment-resistant cases.
Who is this for?
✔ Individuals with treatment-resistant PTSD
✔ Individuals with PTSD who haven’t experienced adequate improvements in other treatments
Client testimonials
"I am a retired Captain with Vancouver Fire Rescue Services. I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder both ranked in the severe range. I reached bottom this summer while waiting for Worksafebc to make a decision on a urgent/immediate reopening of my file (5 months and still waiting) and made the decision that I could not wait any longer for Worksafebc to give me the help I so desperately needed. I researched several clinics and found Field Trip Health to be the one for me. I highly recommend Field Trip Health and Ketamine Assisted Therapy. They completely changed my life in the most positive ways possible. When I first started the therapy I was cautiously optimistic and could never imagine the profound positive changes that I experienced. I am eternally grateful to Nav and Terri for their compassion and understanding. You will not regret trying Ketamine Assisted Therapy with Field Trip Health. Ketamine Assisted Therapy is not cheap but the best investment you will make in your mental health. Money well spent."

"After a lifetime of treatment-resistant depression, chronic anxiety and PTSD, I can honestly say that the treatment offered at Field Trip Health is truly life-saving. My experience with them has been one of the most powerful of my life, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I am actually looking forward to the future - and the present - with hope. Throughout the entire process, each and every person I dealt with was kind, caring, compassionate, and both consummately professional but also authentically human. They made what could have been a daunting or even frightening experience feel safe and thoroughly supported. I can't thank them enough, and if you are struggling with your own challenges, I would highly recommend reaching out, and giving them a call."

"Complex PTSD & Major Depressive Disorder, after 24yrs of policing & emergency service employment. I can say, what I accessed through ketamine treatment, I am not confident I could have, without the medication. It’ll leave you raw & exhausted, but feeling more capable than ever, to manage that overflowing trauma bucket. You can mitigate the overall feeling of complete hopelessness & helplessness, once the uniform is shed & all that’s left of you….is you. Don’t give up. “There’s more life to live”. I think this treatment has allowed me to believe that statement to be true. Blessings"

"Staff are incredible, the clinic is gorgeous, and the modality is wonderful. We embarked on 6 KAP experiences over 4 weeks and I feel better than I ever have. My PTSD symptomology was miraculously reduced, and I found access to my creative imagination again. I am so honored to be in the care of these wonderful practitioners, they were trauma informed and so much more. I will be recommending this treatment to everyone I come across, I am so thrilled that psychedelic therapy is here and accessibility is opening up. Thank you, this is a wonderful new lease on life"

Hi, I'm Patrick O., a retired 66-year-old firefighter with almost 34 years of service. After completing Ketamine Therapy at The Vancouver Clinic in February, my life took a positive turn. Struggling with depression for years, Field Trip and tools acquired in 2021 transformed my outlook. From dreading retirement to eagerly anticipating each day, it's been a remarkable change. The caring staff at Field Trip played a crucial role in my journey, and I'm grateful. If you're feeling desperate, I'd be happy to share my story. Thank you, Field Trip, for being my savior. Sincerely, Patrick O.

How long does a typical MDMA-assisted therapy treatment take?
MDMA-assisted psychotherapy sessions may vary in duration from 6 to 8.5 hours, helping you experience transformative breakthroughs alongside the guidance of our experienced therapists.
The number of sessions in your treatment plan also varies depending on the individual. Often, we have preparatory sessions leading up to the therapeutic experience. Afterward, it’s common to have multiple integration sessions to help process the experience and solidify new learnings and perspectives.
What results will I see?
Research regarding MDMA-assisted psychotherapy demonstrates efficiency and effectiveness for treatment-resistant PTSD. In a 2021 Phase 3 clinical trial led by MAPS, the Multi-Disciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies, 88% of participants experienced significant improvement in their symptoms, and 67% reported no PTSD symptoms after completing the treatment.
The positive outcomes in this research surpass that of traditional therapy approaches. This offers individuals who are experiencing no change with conventional treatments new options to explore and experience relief.
It’s important to note that individual responses vary. At Field Trip Health, we are committed to your satisfaction and helping each client achieve improvements in their overall well-being. If your expectations are not met, we offer a 25% credit for treatment costs toward another eligible program.
Is there any downtime?
Each therapeutic session spans 8.5 hours. Please note that due to the effects of the session, driving afterward is not advisable, and it is recommended to arrange a safe ride home. While some clients choose to take the following day off for rest, reflection, and healing, it is not mandatory.
