Episode 52: Show Notes

In the complex landscape of mental health, a revolution is underway: psychedelic-assisted therapy. At the forefront of this movement is the TRIP Center at Pacific Neuroscience Institute. The Treatment & Research In Psychedelics Center is breaking new ground, treating patients with ketamine-assisted therapy as well as conducting rigorous clinical trials to understand the potential of psychedelics in tackling mental health issues and enhancing quality of life.

Dr. Micah Linton is a seasoned licensed clinical psychologist at PNI, and Juliana Hudson is a visionary licensed clinical social worker. Both are fervent believers in the transformative power of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Micah’s interest was kindled at consciousness conferences. Juliana’s journey was sparked by the profound impact these compounds can have in therapy, unlocking deeply buried emotions and facilitating profound experiences.

Join us as we delve into this paradigm shift, uncovering how PNI is blazing a trail in the realm of psychedelic-assisted therapies.
