Psychotherapist
Prior to commencing my career as a therapist I embarked on an explorative journey of personal growth. Having experienced the profound ways in which healing can emerge, I am passionate about supporting others in connecting with their inherent capacity for healing. With unwavering compassion and acceptance my goal is to offer you a place where you feel understood and safe to express yourself no matter your situation.I have a degree in addictions counselling and a master’s in counselling with a specializations in psychedelics and consciousness. I am passionate about innovating therapeutic approaches that catalyze the potential for change. I offer both traditional therapy as well as ketamine assisted therapy for people who have not found relief from other treatments.
I use a person-centred approach which prioritizes individual needs and comfort levels. Drawing on various trauma informed modalities including Parts work from IFS, Mindfulness Based CBT, Compassionate Inquiry, and Inner Child Work I am committed to facilitating psychotherapy in a way that embodies safety and connection.

Jacob is a Registered Social Worker who has been working in the field of mental health care and addictions since 2015. Having transitioned from an earlier career in evolutionary-developmental biology, his psychotherapeutic approach is informed by evolutionary theory, attachment, polyvagal, narrative and somatic modalities. He is certified in CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. Jacob has worked alongside individuals and facilitated therapy groups in a variety of clinical/ community/hospital settings. Jacob explores with clients the many ways in which invalidating and stressful social and physical environments contribute to the onset of nervous system dysregulation; leading to depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, PTSD, OCD and chronic physical pain. Jacob is excited to support clients using ketamine and other psychedelic medicines to restore a felt sense of safety and nervous system regulation, gain personal insight and new perspectives, and enable one’s innate healing capacity. He believes that ketamine can help “remind” our nervous systems what safety feels like. By cultivating connection to our authentic selves we can more easily strengthen our bonds with our loved ones, our community and nature. On the side, Jacob is a community organizer, plays guitar in a local funk band and enjoys trail running in Gatineau Park.

Psychotherapist
Is there an aspect of your life that overwhelms you and leaves you feeling like you need help? Living life authentically often leads us to encounter these types of challenges. Sometimes we can trace the origin of our distress back to a particular event or experience such as a relationship or job dissatisfaction. Other times, the origins are more hidden and leave us scared and confused. This distress can take many forms, typically depression and anxiety. Talking openly in the safety and confidentiality of a therapeutic relationship can bring some relief.Humans have evolved to be social beings. Psychotherapy is both a healthy way to express our humanity, and a social process that contributes to our health. Expressing your suffering in a trusting relationship can lead to a healthy release of emotions and is a creative way to bring meaning to your distress, making it more conscious and manageable.
I offer an empathic and non-judgmental attitude as a basis for forming a collaborative relationship with you. The therapy I provide can help you experience life more deeply, enjoy more satisfying relationships, resolve painful conflicts, and better integrate all parts of your personality.

My intention is to offer a space where your experiences are met with compassion and curiosity. Together, we’ll explore what’s been hard, make sense of your inner world, and gently begin the process of healing and growth, at your pace.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), yoga and meditation teacher, and lifelong seeker. My journey has been one of deep study and intertwining paths. Now moving from the mat to the therapy space, from personal healing to guiding others on theirs.
With over 19 years of experience in movement and mindfulness, and extensive training in somatic psychotherapy, I offer a holistic, humanistic approach that honors the mind, body, and spirit.
My practice is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your unique story. Drawing from modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, and mindfulness, I aim to create a sanctuary where you feel seen, heard, and supported.

I provide calm, compassionate, and non-judgmental care to support people through the deep work of healing. My approach is client-centered and rooted in the belief that care should honour the whole person—their mind, body, spirit, and story.
My nursing background is grounded in pediatric palliative care, where I had the honour of supporting children with complex medical needs and walking alongside their families through some of life’s most tender and challenging moments. That work deepened my belief in the power of relationship—the healing that can happen simply through presence, trust, and connection. I’ve developed a deep respect for the vulnerability and strength that coexist in these spaces, and a strong commitment to care that is attuned, relational, and grounded in meaning.
Building on this foundation, I aspire to become an art therapist, blending my clinical experience with my passion for the creative arts. I believe creative expression offers a unique and powerful way to support emotional integration and healing, complementing the attuned, relational care I have always valued.

Psychedelic medicine and therapy specialist and consultant
I am a medical doctor and psychotherapist. In my practice, psychotherapy is where I find I can share the most of myself and my unique gifts with people and the world; I have tremendous joy and gratitude in being able to help others in this way.
My approach to psychotherapy is founded on strong therapeutic relationships rooted in safety and trust as established through: being fully present and practising attentive and non-judgemental listening; strong communication, interpersonal skills, and boundaries; and radical welcome and acceptance of all subjective and objective aspects of a person's being and experience. Through this, I aim to make patients feel heard, seen, and understood toward clearing deep shame and self-limiting beliefs and helping them move toward their authentic selves with a new sense of agency, empowerment, liberation, wholeness, and physical, psychosocial, and spiritual well-being.
I am trained in and practice full-scope (intake, preparation, dosing, and integration) psychedelic-assisted therapy with psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine. I have a patient-centred eclectic approach to psychotherapy that draws from IFS, ACT, CBT, logotherapy, psychoanalysis, somatic therapies (SEP, Hakomi, and polyvagal-informed movement therapies), yoga, and mindfulness. I have a trauma- and culturally-informed approach and, in my clinical encounters, I am sensitive to patients' particular social locations and how established power structures and systems of power profoundly impact patients’ subjective and objective experiences of the world and their ability to move toward wellness.
My primary role at FlowState Therapy is of psychedelic medicine and therapy specialist and consultant. As part of the team, my focus is to help ensure high quality medical and psychotherapeutic protocols and standards of care that are based on up-to-date research, solid ethical foundations, and professionalism. In my role, I also strive with care and dedication to facilitate and support the professional development of FlowState clinicians and therapists toward our collective and individual missions to provide exceptional patient-centred psychedelic-assisted therapy and to be leaders in this space.
I am excited that you are considering choosing FlowState Therapy and connecting with one of our wonderful team members as part of your personal healing and growth journey. Welcome!

Founder & Clinic Manager, Flowstate Therapy
Hi, I’m Binyamin—Founder and Clinic Manager at Flowstate Therapy. I’ve been a Registered Nurse for over 15 years, starting out in the fast-paced world of emergency care. Those early years taught me how to stay grounded in chaos, think critically, and care deeply for people in their most vulnerable moments.
Later, I shifted into a role as a Nurse Consultant at the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, working closely with first responders dealing with PTSD and other workplace-related mental health injuries. That experience opened my eyes to how complex, personal, and underserved mental health care can be—and it’s where I started asking deeper questions about how we can do better.
That curiosity eventually led me to explore alternative approaches to healing, including the emerging world of psychedelic therapy. While I haven’t gone through formal training (yet), I’ve spent the past few years immersed in research, learning, and hands-on experience in the field.
Flowstate Therapy is the result of everything I’ve learned so far: a space that brings together clinical care, compassion, and a belief that healing looks different for everyone. I’m here to support our clients, collaborate with an amazing team, and help build something meaningful for our community.
