Mental Health Program

When antidepressants only numb the pain without healing it, ibogaine therapy addresses the root cause—resetting dysregulated neural pathways, reducing neuroinflammation, and restoring your brain’s natural capacity for joy and connection. Our patients don’t just manage their depression; they rediscover who they were before the darkness took hold.

Who This Program Helps

This program is designed for people with PTSD (especially combat veterans), treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, complex trauma, or psychological wounds that traditional therapy hasn’t been able to heal. If you’ve tried conventional approaches without lasting relief, this program offers a different path to healing.

Why Some Trauma Won't Heal with Talk Therapy Alone

If you’ve been in therapy for years and still carry the weight of trauma, you know: sometimes talking about it isn’t enough. The memories don’t fade. The hypervigilance doesn’t stop. The depression persists despite trying medication after medication. This isn’t because therapy doesn’t work—it’s because some trauma gets locked into your nervous system at a level that talk therapy can’t always access.

The Missing Piece: Neuroplasticity

Traditional American psychology often overlooks the brain’s remarkable capacity for neuroplasticity—its ability to form new neural pathways and reorganize itself. Conventional approaches typically address symptoms at the cognitive level, but may not fully engage the brain’s innate healing mechanisms that allow for deep, lasting change.

Trauma Lives in the Body

When traumatic experiences occur, they don’t just create psychological memories—they become stored in your body at a cellular level. This creates chronic inflammation, which research increasingly shows is the root cause of numerous diseases and chronic conditions. Unresolved trauma keeps your nervous system in a perpetual state of threat response, leading to ongoing inflammation that affects your physical and mental health.

Ibogaine therapy works at this deeper level, helping your brain process and release trauma that’s been stuck for years or decades. It’s not magic—it’s neurobiology. And it works when other approaches haven’t.

Real Results People Experience

While every patient’s journey is unique, the improvements we see are often remarkable and life-changing. These aren’t just incremental changes—many patients experience dramatic reductions in symptoms that have plagued them for years, often within days of treatment. Here’s what patients with different conditions commonly report:

Combat Veterans with PTSD

Veterans who come to us carrying the invisible wounds of war often experience profound shifts:

Flashbacks stop or decrease dramatically
Hypervigilance and constant alertness calm down
Sleep returns—real, restful sleep—often for the first time in years
Emotional numbness lifts, allowing connection with family again
Guilt and shame about combat experiences begin to heal
Suicidal thoughts diminish or disappear
Some veterans report unexpected improvements in hearing that was damaged by detonations, as the neurological pathways reorganize
Visual clarity may improve as stress-related vision impairment diminishes

Treatment-Resistant Depression: Possible Outcomes

For those who’ve tried medication after medication without relief:

The heaviness lifts—not into forced happiness, but into genuine feeling
Energy and motivation return naturally
Thoughts of suicide fade away
Interest in life, relationships, and activities comes back
The need for multiple medications often decreases
People report feeling like themselves again for the first time in years
Sexual motivation returns and increases
Erectile dysfunction diminishes as the nervous system heals

Complex Trauma & Anxiety: Possible Outcomes

For those carrying wounds from childhood or repeated trauma:

Panic attacks stop or become manageable because trauma is reframed after ibogaine-assisted therapy
The constant background anxiety that’s been with you for years finally quiets
You can be in situations that used to trigger intense feelings
Relationships improve because you’re not reacting from old wounds
Self-compassion and self-forgiveness become possible
Emotional numbness disappears, replaced by authentic feeling and connection
