Charlie Shockley's practice, Athens Psychedelic Therapy, is the first of its kind within the locale, specificalizing in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Psychedelic Integration Therapy. We aim to offer breakthrough therapy for individuals grappling with ailments such as depression, anxiety, trauma, pain, and addiction that have shown resistance to traditional therapeutic approaches. Being at the forefront of a scientific revolution in psychedelic research, we are committed to offering supportive counseling to individuals seeking FDA approved Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy to manage treatment-resistant mood, trauma, and substance use disorders. In addition, we cater to individuals who have independently decided to explore non-legal psychedelics, providing them with counseling support to ensure the most effective and safe experience possible.

Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic with a long history of safe use, was FDA approved in 2019 to treat refractory or treatment-resistant depression. The drug has lauded for its rapid effects and is offered at our practice to appropriate clients who suffer moderate to severe mood disorders or trauma that hasn't responded favorably to conventional treatments. Specifically, clients can self-administer sublingual Ketamine in our office under the watchful care of a licensed counselor. In the light of the illegality of classic psychedelics like LSD, Psilocybin, Mescaline, DMT, Ibogaine, Ayahuasca, San Pedro, we offer guidance in the form of preparation (before) and integration (after) sessions for individuals embarking on a self-determined and self-sourced journey of psychedelic healing. Following a harm reduction approach to psychedelic therapy, we are rooted in evidence-based practice, aiming to eradicate stigma while supporting individuals that opt to use psychedelics.
