Psychedelic Therapy in Las Vegas & Summerlin

Healing & hope for PTSD, depression, trauma, and more

What is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy?

Psychedelic therapy (also known as psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy) is a type of mental health treatment in which a psychedelic drug is taken as part of the treatment process. The use of psychedelics is usually combined with talk therapy in psychedelic therapy. While this may sound surprising to many, psychedelics have been used for both therapeutic and spiritual reasons in many indigenous cultures and countries. However, psychedelic therapy is generally new to the world of Western psychiatry.

In both clinical and nonclinical settings, several kinds of mind-altering psychedelic drugs are currently being administered and researched for therapeutic purposes. Examples of psychedelic drugs that are naturally derived from plants in nature include psilocybin (mushrooms), DMT, peyote, ayahuasca, and ibogaine. Some examples of human-made chemical compounds of psychedelics include ketamine, MDMA, and LSD.

Finding peace and healing for PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, and more.

Therapy in Las Vegas with psilocybin, MDMA & ketamine

Many people have tried everything to overcome depression, PTSD, or anxeity. And now, there is growing research that psychedelic therapy can help!

According to a 2016 study a single dose of psilocybin significantly reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with life-threatening cancer.

There is some evidence that psychedelics may be useful in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. (PTSD). According to a 2019 study published in The Lancet Psychiatry, a combination of MDMA and psychotherapy was effective in reducing PTSD symptoms in a group of military veterans and first responders. These findings are promising for the future of treating trauma and doing trauma work as a whole.

“It is no surprise that psychedelics, with their activation of deeply healing intelligent capacities, seem to spontaneously engender internal and interpersonal experiences of love.”

Research, approval, and the future of psychedelic therapy

Many companies are currently seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration for psychedelic-assisted therapies. If approved, this therapy could become more widely available to patients seeking mental health treatment.

Researchers are also using neuro-imaging instruments like PET scans and fMRI to get a glimpse into how psychedelics affect the brain. To do this, biomarkers in the brain are identified and used to predict one’s treatment response.

Disclaimer: These recent findings are definitely exciting, but more research is needed to fully understand the benefits and risks of psychedelic therapy for mental health. Due to the risky nature of the treatment, psychedelic therapy should only be facilitated under the guidance of a trained professional in a safe and controlled environment.

Hi, I’m Leslie Frederick.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have long had a passion for helping and serving others.

I began my career as a social worker for a local hospice. I found great purpose in helping families navigate the unpredictable twists and turns that undoubtedly come along with the end of life for their loved ones. After many years in hospice, I transitioned to a medical social work position in a hospital, which then led me to a Clinical Social Work Intern position in an inpatient psych hospital. During this time, I enjoyed working with a range of individuals and families. The vast array of cases I encountered in the hospital allowed me to gain the experience and skills needed to serve a multitude of clients. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and believe in meeting a client where they are at in order to tailor treatment to meet their individualized needs and work towards their specific goals.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Northern Arizona University and a Masters in Social Work from UNLV. I am originally from Northwest Indiana and have lived in Las Vegas for over ten years with my husband and our three children. We love living out west and enjoy spending time traveling and exploring our neighboring states.

My career began in the government sector and has included both agency and nonprofit arenas. Currently, I work with clients in a variety of stressful, demanding career fields including medicine/healthcare, business leadership, academia, and financial planning.

Outside of the office, you’ll find me in the mountains or on the golf course; I’ve been a member of Red Rock Search and Rescue since 2020 and am the (very proud!) mom to a competitive junior golfer. I believe in a holistic approach to life and work to weave this mindset in all areas of my life.
