Welcome! At Relationshifts our treatment philosophy is ‘come as you are!’ We are now accepting new clients. Every soul is unique and worthy of quality clinical care, respect, and healing. … you are invited to a sacred journey of restoration. Within the safety of a secure environment we facilitate neurobiological regulation for individuals, couples, and families. We work collaboratively to establish and meet your treatment goals. We support ALL financial needs.
If you experience feeling ‘stuck’ – in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD – Relationshifts offers Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). KAP is an evidence-based treatment available in-office and in some home-based settings. KAP is a psychedelic integration experience that consistently provides effective relief from somatic symptomology and distress.
CALL to schedule your free KAP Consult today! We approach each human with profound respect. Within the safety of authentic relationship, we work together to experience felt change, relief, and release bodily and emotionally. Collectively Relationshifts staff holds extensive expertise in healing hearts across all of our treatment formats. Let healing begin!
