  • “Artist” is a broad term — some people’s artistry manifests through acrylic on canvas, words on a page or acting on stage. Others show their artistry simply by how they live their lives — with a creativity and passion. We love and work with all creative types.

  • Because it’s what we know (and who we know).

    Being an artist, especially one who makes a living from their craft, is one of the most challenging career paths one can take. Financial insecurity, creative pressure, performance anxiety, emotional vulnerability, uncertain career trajectory, and balancing that vexing art versus commerce paradigm — one or all of these can wreak havoc on one’s mental health. That’s where we come in — with evidence-based science, with shared experience, with support, with warmth and with an informed confidence (because we too have walked in your shoes).

  • Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a therapeutic approach that combines the administration of Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, with psychotherapy. It is used to treat various mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders. Anecdotally, people often claim that Ketamine can also increase levels of joy, productivity, and creativity.

    Ketamine affects neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly glutamate, which plays a role in mood regulation. It induces altered states of consciousness that can facilitate deep emotional processing and self-reflection during therapy sessions.
