About Field Trip

Field Trip Health provides safe and legal ketamine-assisted therapy in Toronto and offers relief to those struggling with treatment-resistant mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety and PTSD, through evidence-based and medically-supervised psychedelic-assisted therapies.

Field Trip’s ketamine-assisted therapy protocol combines ketamine therapy with follow up talk therapy sessions under the supervision of a dedicated team of medical and mental health professionals.

Knowing ketamine-assisted treatments can be intimidating, our Toronto Health Center was intentionally designed to be comfortable and facilitate healing. With our calming, spa-like spaces, and our expert team of medical and mental health professionals, the Field Trip experience provides you with the most support throughout your healing journey.

Clinic Information

Our clients work with our Toronto team to create a personalized treatment plan designed to help reach their desired outcomes. Intention setting is an important part of this process, helping clients enter an engaged mindset prior to treatment. In our Ketamine Exploration sessions, the medicine helps clients break negative thought patterns and access healing that was previously inaccessible. After Exploration, our psychedelically-trained therapists work with you to integrate the insights from your treatment experience into daily life, resulting in improved mental health and sustained wellbeing.
‍
Our Toronto Health Center is located on 30 Duncan Street, in the heart of the entertainment district. The building was constructed in 1926 and much of the original charm remains in our facility. High ceilings, wood floors, and large windows adorn most rooms. A sun-filled reception area and lush moss wall greets guests into our beautifully designed, nature-inspired clinic, with a straight shot view of the CN tower present in the background and featuring an integration lounge that is comfortable and quiet.
‍
Our Toronto clinic provides individual ketamine-assisted therapy – and is pleased to offer group maintenance ketamine therapy sessions. We're proud to work closely with our Canadian Veteran population.

A proud Torontonian, his favourite view of the city is from the top of the parking garage at Sunnybrook Hospital which he affectionately calls the "Meeting Place". Brian is passionate about psychedelics and its potential to help individuals struggling with chronic issues. He believes that this alternative to traditional therapy may provide much needed solace for people that have not had success with more conventional treatment approaches.

Catherine Kates

Catherine Kates

Registered Social Worker

I work to support you to feel safer and healthier in your environment, relationships and body. I am rooted in an anti-oppressive framework, that works to understand how your past experiences, may be impacting in the present, and explores the connection between our mind, body, and emotions. By building trust and deeply listening to your unique needs and experiences, I try and support you to meet your goals for therapy. I have worked extensively with children, youth and adults who have experienced complex trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, issues of self-worth, self-harm, and dissociation. As a trauma-informed yoga teacher, and Level 1 trained Sensorimotor psychotherapist, I engage the wisdom of the body and mindfulness based approaches to support healing and shift your experience. I try to support you to understand the physical and somatic elements of experience, and find ways to soothe, calm, and energise the body, and understand its story. As an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Trained therapist I also offer clients an opportunity to take a look at all the parts of self, how these parts of us have developed to protect us, and how to work with our own parts to heal young, wounded or hurt parts of ourselves. This can dramatically change our relationship to one’s self, replacing shame, self-loathing, and assumptions of guilt with compassionate acceptance, leading to a more fulfilling and integrated experience. I hope to support you to build deeper connections with yourself and others, and find ways to communicate in a loving and authentic way. Through collaboration with you, I try and create an environment that feels safe and inclusive. I help explore difficult thoughts and emotions, and offer strategies to feel more confident and in the present moment. I am currently completing the Psychadelic Assisted Therapy Year Long Certification with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute.
