About Field Trip Health and the Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Healing

The Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Healing was established in 2019 in Thunder Bay, ON by Dr. Mario Nucci, a passionate advocate for innovation in the area of mental health. At CCFPH, our primary focus is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), a combination of Ketamine and Psychotherapy, which has shown to be 70% effective against treatment resistant forms of depression. KAP is a holistic therapy that can allow a person to open up and explore themselves in new ways. With the dissociative effects of Ketamine and the support of a trained psychotherapist, the insights and healing found in this therapy can produce significant and sustainable shifts in how you experience life. CCFPH recently acquired Field Trip Health and will continue providing life changing KAP services.

At Field Trip Health and CCFPH, we provide a rewarding job experience with a growing network of passionate health professionals who are seeing meaningful patient breakthroughs on a daily basis, while working with cutting edge techniques. We offer an entrepreneurial and collaborative working environment focused on delivering best-in-class client care.
