Scott M.
I went for a Psychedelic assisted therapy session at this new clinic recently. Both the nurse(Ben) and psychotherapist(Jen) treated me with professional care and support. I felt completely safe and comfortable in their presence as they guided me through my journey. I found they created a welcoming environment for me to heal some of the issues I've been struggling with. This centre and the people involved are a much needed addition to this community and hope they are here to stay.

FlowState Therapy changed my life for the better, and I am so grateful I went for the intensive programming. I have suffered from C-PTSD and chronic pain for the last 20 years, and I really found that the treatment helped with both in a major way. I’m feeling less chronic pain in my daily life, I’m feeling overall less anxious, and more hopeful about the future. It is not a magic cure for either of these completely, but it has helped me in a substantial and meaningful way. Would highly recommend the treatment, and reaching out to this clinic if you have any questions about how it works!

It’s rare to find a team this professional while still feeling so genuinely human. You can tell they’re not just following protocols; they’re deeply invested in the work they do and the people they support. The care feels personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.
