ABOUT FIELD TRIP HEALTH

Field Trip Health operates five psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy clinics across the country, including Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver. At Field Trip Health, our primary focus is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), a combination of Ketamine and Psychotherapy, which has shown to be 70% effective against treatment resistant forms of depression. KAP is a holistic therapy that can allow a person to open up and explore themselves in new ways. With the dissociative effects of oral Ketamine and the support of a trained psychotherapist, the insights and healing found in this therapy can produce significant and sustainable shifts in how you experience life.
At Field Trip we provide a rewarding job experience with a growing network of passionate health professionals who are seeing meaningful patient breakthroughs on a daily basis. While working with cutting edge techniques, we offer an entrepreneurial and collaborative working environment focused on delivering best-in-class client care.
Field Trip Health is looking to open a new clinic location in Kitchener-Waterloo and is currently recruiting staff and reviewing options in the area.
