MDMA Therapy Canada
Have traditional approaches left you feeling stuck?
Do you live with daily flashbacks, anxiety, or symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? If conventional therapies haven’t worked, you’re not alone. At Field Trip Health, we specialize in innovative treatment options for treatment-resistant mental health conditions. MDMA therapy in Canada is an emerging, research-backed option that offers promising results—especially for those with PTSD who haven’t responded to talk therapy or medications.
MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is a groundbreaking therapy that combines controlled doses of MDMA with structured therapy sessions. This approach helps reduce fear, build trust, and deepen emotional insight. In Phase 3 clinical trials conducted by MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), 88% of participants experienced meaningful improvement, and 67% no longer met the criteria for PTSD. These results are unmatched by conventional care. At Field Trip Health, our MDMA therapy clinic in Canada offers access to this innovative and highly effective treatment.

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 MDMA-assisted therapy take?
Each MDMA therapy session typically lasts 6 to 8.5 hours and is conducted by trained MDMA therapists. These longer sessions allow for deep therapeutic breakthroughs. Your personalized treatment plan will also include preparatory sessions and integration therapy to ensure lasting results.
MDMA PTSD therapy in Canada often follows a structured series of appointments, designed around your needs and approved through Health Canada where required.
What results can I expect from MDMA therapy?
MDMA-assisted therapy has shown some of the most promising results in psychedelic research. A 2021 Phase 3 clinical trial by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) found that 88% of participants saw meaningful symptom relief, and 67% no longer met the criteria for PTSD.
These outcomes significantly outperform traditional PTSD treatments. MDMA therapy Canada programs offer new hope for those who have felt stuck or hopeless.
It’s important to note that individual responses vary.
Is there downtime after MDMA therapy?
Yes, each MDMA therapy session lasts 6–8 hours. Due to the effects of MDMA, you must arrange transportation home and cannot drive afterward. Many clients choose to take the following day off for rest and integration. This is especially helpful for processing your experience and making the most of your MDMA-assisted psychotherapy session.

Frequently asked questions.
How is this different from other therapies I’ve tried?
MDMA-assisted psychotherapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy. MDMA gives way to reduced fear and anxiety, as well as openness and empathy. This can help you break barriers hindering your pathway toward relief.
What does the research say?
In a 2021 controlled phase 3 clinical trial by MAPS, the Multi-Disciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies, 88% of patients had a clinically meaningful symptom improvement, with 67% no longer having PTSD.
In a 2023 controlled phase 3 clinical trial, researchers reported that participants with moderate to severe PTSD had decreased PTSD symptoms and functional impairments, with the treatment being well-tolerated. Minimal symptoms included overall mild increases in blood pressure and heart rate, which subsided after treatment.
Can I be on other medications when undergoing MDMA therapy?
This depends on the specific medication. During your 50-minute medical consultation, issues regarding current medications will be addressed and discussed.
Is MDMA therapy covered by insurance?
We work closely with each client to ensure applicable insurance is used where possible. Each treatment is performed by licensed Therapists (Psychotherapists, Clinical Counselors, and Social Workers), which are usually insurance-eligible under most benefits plans. We suggest verifying your specific coverage directly with your insurance provider before booking your treatment.
Can certain conditions make me ineligible?
Your eligibility is determined in your medical consultation. During this time, we will go through your medical history and health status, which can provide information regarding your specific eligibility. The main contradictions to this type of treatment include psychosis, pregnancy, and uncontrolled hypertension.
Are there side effects of MDMA therapy?
Is MDMA legal in Canada?
MDMA is not legal for general public use and is currently classified as a controlled substance in Canada. However, under Health Canada’s Special Access Program, MDMA-assisted psychotherapy may be approved for individuals with treatment-resistant PTSD or severe anxiety when conventional therapies have failed.
Unlike recreational forms of MDMA—often referred to as ecstasy or molly—MDMA therapy in Canada is provided in medical settings by trained professionals, including licensed MDMA therapists and healthcare practitioners. Clients receive a carefully monitored dose of MDMA as part of a broader psychedelic-assisted therapy program that includes preparation and integration support.
There is growing interest in MDMA therapy and other psychedelic drugs like psilocybin and ketamine, as clinical trials continue to show promising results in treating a range of mental health conditions, including PTSD and anxiety.
