Our journeys into this work were different, but they continually converged. As two therapists deeply rooted in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, we found ourselves returning to the same insight: healing is not meant to happen alone.
Psychedelic experiences have long been held in relationship—in ritual, community, and compassionate witnessing. Yet modern life often moves us toward isolation. We created this community to offer something different: a safe, intentional space where healing unfolds through connection, shared experience, and skilled therapeutic support.
We believe that being witnessed in moments of vulnerability can be profoundly healing. Our group program is not simply a more accessible alternative to individual therapy—it is a purposeful therapeutic model, designed with the same clinical integrity, preparation, and care that guide all of our work.
Everything we do is grounded in the values that matter most to us: integrity, compassion, curiosity, intentionality, and connection.
We're grateful you found your way here.
Our Story & Philosophy
Guiding Principles
Trauma-Informed Care
Every aspect of Kindred—from intake through integration—is thoughtfully designed with an understanding of how trauma is held in the body and shaped within relationships. Safety, consent, and pacing are at the heart of the container we create.
Group as Medicine
We view the group itself as a therapeutic agent. The connections formed within a cohort are not incidental—they are intentionally cultivated and thoughtfully supported.
Preparation, Experience, Integration
Ketamine is a catalyst, not a cure. Lasting change is shaped by what happens before and after each medicine session. We invest deeply in all three phases of the process.
Evidence-Informed Practice
Our program is grounded in peer-reviewed research in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and somatic approaches. We remain committed to learning, adapting, and contributing to the evolving evidence base for this work.
Our Commitment to Inclusion & Safety
At Kindred, we are committed to creating a therapeutic space where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and supported. We honour the dignity, identity, and lived experience of every person and welcome individuals of all backgrounds, cultures, identities, abilities, beliefs, and relationship structures.
Our work is grounded in trauma-informed, consent-based care. We recognize that ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can bring forward deeply vulnerable experiences, and we are committed to providing a safe, ethical, and compassionate environment through thoughtful preparation, skilled facilitation, and meaningful integration.
We are continually learning, reflecting, and growing to ensure our care remains accessible, culturally responsive, and attuned to the diverse communities we serve.
Our commitment includes:
Cultural humility – We listen with curiosity and respect, tailoring care to your unique values, experiences, and goals.
Consent and transparency – We provide clear information about the therapeutic process, potential risks and benefits, and the legal and medical frameworks that guide our work.
Safety and empowerment – We strive to create a space where you feel supported, respected, and free to engage in healing at your own pace.
For us, inclusion and safety are not simply values—they are ongoing practices. We welcome feedback and remain committed to continually improving the care we provide.
