Psychedelic Assisted Therapies
Modern Growth Medicine collaborates with a regulated, Canada-wide mental-health and integrative-care network that can act as the practitioner of record for clients who require medical oversight. This partnership lets us pair our relational, psychodynamic therapy and integration work with safe, evidence-based medical services when clinically indicated. What this partnership allows us to do is:
- Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT): Medical screening, prescribing, and facilitated sessions within established protocols.
- rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation): Non-invasive neuromodulation available at select clinics.
- Psychedelic-assisted therapy via Health Canada’s SAP: Psilocybin or MDMA may be considered on a case-by-case basis through the Special Access Program when criteria are met. Access is not guaranteed and is determined by the medical team.
- Broader Integrative & naturopathic services: Holistic assessment, nutrition and supplement planning, evidence-informed botanical medicine, and lifestyle support to complement mental-health care.
Wallace Murray RTC, CH, HT
Counselling Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Hypnotherapist
In my private practice, I work one-to-one, in groups, and online with clients from all over the world, guiding others to un-cover possibilities and paths to life. In terms of my recognized titles, I am a Counselling Therapist with the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, and a Counselling Hypnotherapist. In terms of memberships, I am a Member of the Psychodynamic Association of Canada, a Senior Member of the ACCPH UK, and a member of the Society for Shamanic Practice. I am also a board member of the Psychodynamic Association of Canada.
When asked, I will step into being a helper in ceremony. I am in gratitude to the Balinese and Cree knowledge keepers that have mentored me, guided me, and protected me as I learned what I can do and what I am still learning to do. Some of my studies include an Advanced Counselling Skills Diploma, an Advanced Bachelor’s degree, a Post Baccalaureate Graduate Diploma. My recent completed academic history is in the areas of Psychedelics: a completed Microprogram in Psychedelics and Spirituality Studies at the University of Ottawa, an Introduction to Psychedelic-assisted Therapy certificate and the Advanced Psychedelic-assisted Therapy (PaT) Certification Program with ATMA (https://www.atmajourney.com/)
I am a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner, a 240-hour, year-long, graduate level training in a psychotherapy mental health approach developed by Gabor Mate. I am also a Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner as well as a Master Practitioner of NLP. In summary, I use a variety of modalities when needed, all listed in my site. My broader primary focus outside my one-to-one, group or individual practice is in Mental Health consulting, such as coaching or counselling mental health support workers/first responders, acting as mental health support, counselling and assessment/care plan teams within Aboriginal Services, partnering with Mental Health teams in special projects, or coaching and supporting other counsellors how to manage both clients and a practice.
Other areas of studies include:
- Coaching
- Human Development
- Trauma
- Career
- Applied Linguistics
- Applied Psychology in Education

Aneesh de Vos, PGCC, MA, Doctorate Student (DProf) Psychological Trauma.
Trauma Therapist, Supervisor & Trainer
Aneesh’s approach is both holistic and collaborative, within an integrative framework to foster support using both orthodox and complementary systems. Aneesh uses compassion and mindful based techniques within a neurobiological framework. This enables a person to understand their triggers both cognitively and somatically and how to manage and or reduce them.
She specializes in Trauma Informed Therapy and compassion focused approaches. She is also a supervisor for other therapists or coaches. Through psychoeducation – therapy is offered so that a person can explore not only their experience but also the effects of their own body responses. This approach offers a deeper understanding of who we are and how we view ourselves in response to our life, and is a compassion focused approach to building skills to recognize our suffering and finding ways to alleviate it.
Aneesh has lived in different countries and thus brings a sensitivity to the differences to be found in other cultures and a readiness to learn from the client.

Karel Kirouac-Laplante
Cannabis Therapy - Montreal
A holistic and integrative approach to health and healing that considers humans in their whole integrity: the body, mind, soul and spirit. In my opinion, within this philosophy, we need to assess: emotional health, as it is an incredibly important aspect that impacts everything else; then, the lifestyle of the person; their environmental context and their relationships with people close to them to some extent. Lifestyle is a broad theme that would include nutrition, sleep, movement, work and everything done on a recurrent basis.
SPECIALIZED IN
- Cannabis therapy and/or intentional consumption:
- autoimmune condition (Hashimoto’s);
- burn out, anxiety, insomnia, eating disorders, substance abuse & addiction
- Psychedelics: Preparation and integration coaching for cannabis journeys and psilocybin (learning in progress for the other psychedelics)
- Health coaching – nutrition (wholefood, animal-based, low carb/keto), movement, mindset work, natural supplements and natural products
