For individuals who have not found adequate RELIEF through traditional treatment approaches.

York Region Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Program at Healing Recovery Centre offers a clinical and deeply grounded approach to providing legal access to psychedelic medicine. Our program is designed for adults who have previously engaged in therapy and medication management without achieving the level of progress they were hoping for. All participants undergo an assessment to determine suitability prior to beginning treatment.

How you can work with us

Our psychedelic therapy program is deeply rooted in a commitment to reducing human suffering. We approach this medicine with humility, respect, and integrity, so you can access the depth of healing that may be available to you.

We recognize this is one step in a larger journey. Our role is to hold space, and to make sure you feel equipped to navigate it with confidence.

There are four pathways for individuals looking to access
psychedelic-assisted therapy and support.

Through Health Canada’s Special Access Program, we provide legal access to psilocybin-assisted therapy for individuals experiencing treatment-resistant depression, OCD, eating disorders, end-of-life anxiety, and cancer-related distress.

  • Psilocybin-assisted therapy may help soften rigid patterns of thinking, feeling, and self-protection, creating space for new perspectives, emotional flexibility, and a deeper sense of meaning.
  • Support a shift from feeling stuck inside the mind to reconnecting with life, love, acceptance, and what matters most.

Through Health Canada’s Special Access Program, we provide legal access to MDMA-assisted therapy for individuals navigating complex or chronic PTSD.

  • Helps people with trauma feel safe enough to gently revisit painful memories without becoming overwhelmed, shut down, or flooded.
  • Can support deeper self-compassion, trust, emotional openness, and connection, helping trauma move from something the body keeps reliving into something the person can begin to process, integrate, and carry differently.

Ketamine is already legal and offers a faster-acting, more structured therapeutic experience. Coming soon to York Region Psychedelics for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and eating disorders.

  • Can offer rapid relief for people feeling trapped in depression, suicidality, OCD, or trauma loops by creating distance from painful thoughts and opening a window of possibility.
  • It can help the nervous system experience a pause from suffering, allowing people to access hope, perspective, and new pathways for healing when nothing else has felt like enough.
  • Creates an openness to new perspectives and emotional processing

Psychedelic Therapy at Healing Recovery Centre

For Retreat Centres

Already offering psychedelic-assisted retreat experiences? We partner with retreat centres to provide clinical preparation and integration support for your participants, so the therapeutic value of your program extends well beyond the retreat itself. If you’re interested in collaborating, we’d love to hear from you.

What sets our PSYCHEDELIC Assisted Therapy Program apart

There is a significant difference between accessing psychedelic medicine and accessing a psychedelic-assisted therapy program. At York Region Psychedelics, we provide the latter.

Our program is built around the understanding that the depth and safety of a psychedelic experience is directly influenced by what comes before and after it. Comprehensive preparation, an intentional dosing session grounded in the psychedelic unfolding process, and integration therapy within 24 to 48 hours—each phase is as important as the next, and each one is supported by a dedicated clinical team.

Sessions are private, collaborative and held with both clinical rigour and intentional ceremonial care. They are non-religious and shaped entirely around your own culture, beliefs, and meaning-making.

Trauma-informed, individually tailored, and designed to build lasting change rather than a single powerful experience.

Is our program right for you?

Psychedelic-Assisted therapy is a significant investment—in time, process, and cost.

Frequently asked questions

What is psychedelic-assisted therapy?

Psychedelic-assisted therapy combines regulated psychedelic medicines with professional therapeutic support before, during, and after the experience. At Healing Recovery Centre, all psychedelic-assisted therapy is offered through legal avenues under Health Canada’s Special Access Program.

Who qualifies for psychedelic-assisted therapy?

Qualification is determined through Health Canada’s Special Access Program and requires a supporting physician. We work with individuals navigating treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, and eating disorders who have not found adequate relief through traditional approaches. A free consultation is the first step to understanding whether this is the right path for you.

How is psychedelic-assisted therapy different from recreational use?

Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a structured, clinically supported process — not a recreational experience. It involves thorough preparation, a supported medicine session, and integration therapy to help you make meaning of and apply the insights from the experience. Set, setting, and professional support are central to both safety and outcomes.

Is psychedelic-assisted therapy legal in Canada?

Yes — psilocybin and MDMA are currently accessible in Canada through Health Canada’s Special Access Program for individuals with serious or life-threatening conditions. Ketamine is a regulated medicine that can be prescribed by a licensed physician. At Healing Recovery Centre, we only work with clients through these legal pathways.

How much does psychedelic-assisted therapy cost?

Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a multi-session process involving preparation, the medicine sessions itself, and integration support. Because of the depth and time involved, it represents a significant investment. We are transparent about costs during your consultation so you can make an informed decision about whether it’s the right fit for you right now.

Unsure if you qualify?

The best way to find out is to book a clinical assessment. It’s a one-on-one conversation with someone from our team to explore your history, your goals, and whether our psychedelic-assisted therapy program is the right fit for you. Think of it as a chance to ask your questions and figure out if this path makes sense for you.
