Breakthrough Therapies

Breakthrough Therapies is a Toronto clinic offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, both online and in person. It is staffed by a group of healthcare professionals and was opened as a sister clinic to an established practice in the same city.

Background

The parent clinic is Psychology Works, which has practised in the Toronto area since 1991. The team describes its own shift from trauma-informed to psychedelically-informed practice, with Breakthrough Therapies as the newer arm devoted to ketamine-assisted work.

The setting

Sessions are held in what the clinic calls a city retreat setting. Psychology Works notes that it stands on the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, in what is now the Greater Toronto Area. No further detail is given about the premises, the length of a session or who is present during one.
