Many people exploring ketamine-assisted therapy are already working with a family physician, psychologist, therapist, psychiatrist, or other healthcare provider. These existing relationships remain an important part of each person’s care journey. Our goal is to complement the work of a client’s existing care team by providing access to specialized ketamine-assisted therapy within a collaborative, multidisciplinary model of care.

Why Refer to Synergy?

Some patients may benefit from access to specialized ketamine-assisted therapy when symptoms continue despite ongoing treatment and support.

At Synergy, clients receive:

• Physician oversight
• Comprehensive medical assessment and screening
• Preparation before treatment
• Ketamine-assisted therapy in a medically supervised setting
• Therapeutic support
• Integration following treatment
• Multidisciplinary care planning

Ketamine is one component of treatment. The quality of assessment, preparation, therapeutic support, and integration often determines how meaningful and sustainable treatment outcomes become.

Continuity of Care Referrals are not about transferring care. They are about expanding the circle of care available to your patient. Whenever appropriate, we work alongside referring physicians, psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, and other healthcare providers to help ensure treatment remains aligned with the patient’s broader goals and ongoing care. Many referring clinicians continue playing an important role throughout treatment and integration.

Who May Be Appropriate for Referral?

• Patients may wish to explore ketamine-assisted therapy when:
• Depression, anxiety, trauma, addictive behaviours, PTSD, chronic pain, OCD, or substance use challenges continue affecting quality of life.
• Progress has slowed despite meaningful effort and ongoing care.
• Existing treatments have provided only partial relief.
• Additional treatment options are being considered as part of a broader care plan.

Each client undergoes physician assessment and screening to determine whether ketamine-assisted therapy may be appropriate.

The Referral Process

Referring a patient is straightforward.

1. Clinicians can book a discovery call with our programme director to learn more about ketamine-assisted therapy and psychedelics.

2. Discuss ketamine-assisted therapy with your patient if appropriate.

3. With the patient’s consent, our team can communicate with referring providers throughout assessment, treatment, and integration whenever appropriate. We are always happy to discuss potential referrals before treatment begins.

Professional Collaboration As interest in ketamine-assisted therapy continues to grow, many healthcare professionals are looking for trusted partners where clients can receive psychedelic-assisted care, practical guidance from experienced staff, and opportunities to learn more. Synergy focuses on building collaborative relationships through ongoing education, professional conversations, webinars, and shared learning opportunities that support safe, evidence-informed care.
