Ashvind N. Adkins Singh, Ph.D.

Ashvind N. Adkins Singh is a licensed clinical psychologist who leads AHWI Psychology Group, a practice in Charlottesville, Virginia, for psychedelic integration, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, trauma therapy and executive coaching. He sees clients in Charlottesville and by telehealth in more than 40 US states.

Approach

Dr Singh earned a doctorate in clinical psychology at Louisiana State University, minoring in neuropsychology and psychopharmacology, and has more than 25 years of experience and over 70 publications. His grandmother, a healer in the South Pacific, first taught him complementary medicine. His work rests on THRIVE, a six-part model of psychedelic integration he published in Current Treatment Options in Psychiatry in 2025, covering nature connection, physical health, relationships, the inner self, values and existential meaning. Clients complete a THRIVE assessment that shapes a personal integration plan. He co-founded the Psychedelic Society of Virginia.

Who it is for

The practice works with adults processing psychedelic experiences, people with complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety or depression, executives and founders, and active traders, who have a 12-week programme called NeuroEdge. Its ketamine work is aimed at treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain and end-of-life distress.

Practical details

Fees run from $200 to $500 an hour. A full ketamine-assisted programme, with one or two preparation sessions, three to six ketamine sessions and integration after each, typically costs $2,000 to $7,000. Ketamine integration therapy comes in packages from $900 to $2,100, and microdose coaching runs for 8 to 12 weeks.

Care and safety

Every client is screened medically and psychologically before ketamine treatment. The Charlottesville Ketamine Center handles all medical aspects, and a medical professional oversees each infusion while the therapist is present; integration follows days later. The microdose coaching offers guidance and tracking only, and the practice does not prescribe, supply or help clients obtain any controlled substance.
