New possibilities with clinically guided treatments that combine therapeutic medicine with specialized therapy.
A healing journey designed around you.
The process of positive change.
People experiencing emotional overwhelm and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences have become far too common. Ongoing mental and emotional health challenges can be deeply disruptive – creating barriers to personal growth, meaningful relationships, and overall life satisfaction.
Odyssey Therapeutic Experiences transform how we approach mental health care. By supporting new neural connections and expanded perspective, these medically guided treatments helps move beyond symptom management toward deeper, more lasting healing.
Care as unique as you are.
Psychological Healing
May enhance synaptic connections in the brain and plays a role in supporting the repair of disrupted neural pathways. These processes primarily occur in brain regions involved in learning, memory, and emotional regulation, helping support a deeper psychological healing process.
Increase Adaptability
May support increased neuroplasticity by influencing glutamate transmission, helping neurons communicate along new pathways. As a result, some individuals may experience improvements in mood and thought patterns as these new connections form.
Mental Breakthroughs
In a calm, controlled clinical setting with medical supervision, a Therapeutic Experience may lead to meaningful mental breakthroughs. Its unique properties can support perspective shifts, allowing for new insights and changes in how experiences are understood.
Rapid Benefit & Relief
With approaches like psychotherapy and medication, it can often take months to notice meaningful improvement. This therapy may offer more rapid relief from symptoms and improvements in mood, with some individuals noticing changes even after a single experience.
Mental Health affects everyone – and unaddressed trauma is at the root of our mental health crisis.
70% of Canadian adults have experienced some form of trauma in their lives and more than 10% of Canadians report regular feelings of loneliness. Unaddressed trauma can make one more vulnerable to developing mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.
Leading psychiatrists at Yale University have referred to the treatment as
“the biggest breakthrough in depression research in a half century.”
Acute Trauma can come from a sudden distressing event that is beyond an individual’s ability to cope, like a divorce, life circumstance change, or death.
Prolonged exposure to trauma, such as physical, emotional or sexual abuse, violence and neglect can lead to Chronic Trauma.
Exposure to multiple different traumatic events like bullying, abuse, neglect and violence can lead to Complex Trauma.
Hope for those who haven’t found relief.
Therapeutic Experiences are a medically supervised treatment option that may help individuals gain new perspective and insight.
When combined with supportive care, these experiences can support longer-term changes in thought patterns and behaviour for improved mental health.

A Message From Dr Sanan.
The medicine was synthesized in 1962 by Calvin Stevens, a Wayne State University chemistry professor, falls under the category of a “dissociative anaesthetic.” Since the 1970s, it has been widely and safely used as an anaesthetic and analgesic. The dissociative effect is what gives it its unique properties.
Extensive research has demonstrated it’s therapeutic use and efficacy in treating conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, alcohol use disorder, eating disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This form of therapy, studied for addictions and end-of-life anxiety since the 1950s, faced a setback during the prohibition in the 1970s. However, research into this therapy has resumed over the past few decades, accumulating strong initial evidence for its effectiveness in addressing end-of-life depression and anxiety, PTSD, OCD, alcohol use disorder, eating disorder, and treatment-resistant depression.
Our innovative treatment paradigm leverages both the antidepressant and unique aspects of the medicine. The process begins with an intake and preparation session, guiding clients on the properties of the medicine to optimize the set and setting. Then the Experience in clinic, delivered by intramuscular injection and carefully dosed to induce a non ordinary state of consciousness. Skilled physicians, nurses and facilitators are there to support every step. Our Odyssey Online patient platform also offers mindfulness, mindful movement, and breathing practices to support the integration of these experiences.
In summary, it is a proven and safe medication, serving as an effective short-term antidepressant and a versatile agent. Our approach combines the medicines qualities with mindfulness, breathwork, and mindful movement, offering a holistic treatment for mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. We invite you to explore this promising and comprehensive approach to mental health treatment.
For Anxiety
Persistently negative thought patterns about oneself and the world can contribute to the development of anxiety disorders.
Therapeutic Experiences may help reduce anxiety symptoms by influencing receptors in the brain and supporting increased neuroplasticity. By helping the brain form new connections and shift entrenched patterns, individuals may be better able to process underlying causes of anxiety in a supportive, medically supervised environment. This approach can support longer-term relief and meaningful emotional healing.
For Burnout
Working professionals can experience overload and sustained stress due to ongoing job demands. Over time, this can affect emotional regulation, resilience, and the ability to perform at a high level.
The medicine may help support nervous system regulation, allowing individuals to quiet the mind and relax the body in a medically supervised setting. This restorative experience can help create the space needed to approach life and work with a renewed sense of perspective.
For AD (Adjustment Disorder)
Adjustment disorders involve heightened emotional and behavioural responses to stress, often following significant life changes or unexpected events.
Life circumstances can shift suddenly and impact emotional well-being. This intervention may help support resilience and nervous system regulation, offering a restorative experience that allows individuals to gain a new perspective on their circumstances in a medically supervised setting.
For Depression
Chronic stress can affect emotional regulation and the brain’s stress-response systems, contributing to the development of depression.
The medicine is found to have rapid antidepressant effects – rapidly reducing suicidal thoughts 4–24 hours after a single infusion in individuals at high risk. During therapy sessions, individuals may be supported in processing underlying contributors to depression within a therapeutic environment, which can help promote meaningful and lasting symptom relief.
