ABOUT US

Our vision is to relieve individual human suffering to improve the well-being of humankind and our planet.

Our mission is to conduct research, teach, and provide direct care using psychedelic medicine and other means to heal the minds and hearts of traumatized and vulnerable individuals and communities, alleviating transgenerational suffering.

Psychedelic therapy

Our Story

Open Mind Collective was born out of a commitment to building a community of practitioners working together to serve at-risk populations in need of effective and accessible mental health treatments, and to advance the field of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy in responsible and innovative ways. We walk the path laid by a long lineage of practitioners who have inspired us to develop our research expertise, clinical services, and our training program with the values of inclusivity, mindfulness, and compassion, and with great respect for the potential of expanded states of consciousness in healing.
