The environment where healing happens matters. In ketamine-assisted therapy, elements like music, lighting, and comfortable surroundings help create a supportive container for the experience.

But this kind of intentional environment isn’t limited to one type of care.

Whether someone is coming in for therapy, coaching, integration work, or medical services, the space itself plays a quiet but important role in how people settle in and engage with the process.

Natural light. Soft textures. A calm place to rest and turn inward.

At Center for New Growth, we’re thoughtful about the spaces we create, because meaningful healing work often begins when people feel supported by the environment around them.

Curious about the services we offer at Center for New Growth? We’re always here to help you learn more. 💚

Music is more than background during a Spravato or ketamine session, it’s part of the therapeutic container. 🙏

In psychedelic-assisted work, set and setting are core principles. While “set” refers to mindset and intention, “setting” includes the environment that holds the experience.

Music can gently guide the nervous system, support emotional processing, and create a sense of continuity as the experience unfolds. Carefully curated soundscapes help participants stay connected to the process while allowing the mind to move inward.

At Center for New Growth, we’re thoughtful about every element of the experience - from the clinical care team supporting you to the environment that surrounds the session.

Because healing work deserves a container that is both supportive and intentional. If you’re curious about this work, we’re always happy to answer questions and talk about whether this approach might fit into your care. 💚

Feeling the effects of seasonal shifts? Let’s talk about vitamin + nutrient therapy. Our sister clinic, Thrive Wellness, offers supportive options to help you feel more balanced this season!

Winter can feel heavy on our bodies. There’s less sunlight, lower energy, and more inflammation. If you’ve been feeling run down, a Myer’s Cocktail IV is intended to support energy levels, immune health, and overall vitality - especially during these seasonal transitions. Call us today to schedule yours, or visit our website for more information! 🙏

Like ripples in water, what we process together extends far beyond the room. 🌀

Led by our Integration Coach, Jen Flores, each monthly group is thoughtfully held to create space for reflection, connection, and grounded growth. 💚 If you’ve been curious about finding a community space to integrate meaningful experiences - or simply wanting intentional time to reconnect with yourself - these gatherings offer steady support and shared humanity.

Our Breathwork Group is happening this week for those interested. And for those who’ve joined us for Integration Group before, you’ll notice we’ve shifted to meeting once a month as well. If you have any questions, we’re always here to connect.

Conversations around death and dying aren’t easy, but they matter. 🙏 We’re honored to be part of a project through our sister non-profit, IRPC, exploring how ketamine-assisted therapy can support peace, gratitude, and forgiveness at the end of life. We’ll be sharing updates as these stories unfold. 💚

The Institute for Rural Psychedelic Care is a local nonprofit dedicated to helping people receive Ketamine assisted therapy when their insurance and finances cannot support it.

Matt came to us after 17 years of serving others as a first responder - carrying trauma and pain that, for a long time, didn’t have space of its own.

When he reflects on his experiences with us, he talks less about a singular moment, and more about how it felt to be supported. About feeling safe, sensing that our team genuinely care, and being comfortable enough to begin doing work that isn’t easy.

After spending so much of his life caring for others, being able to receive support felt meaningful. For Matt, having a safe space to explore ketamine-assisted therapy - with steady support around him - made a difference.

We’re grateful he’s chosen to let us walk alongside him in that process. More of Matt’s story coming soon. 💚

Depression isn’t always obvious - it can quietly affect your thoughts, energy, and connection to daily life. And for some, traditional treatments don’t bring the relief they’re hoping for.

That’s where Spravato® (esketamine) may help.

Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. It’s administered in a medically monitored setting and works differently than traditional antidepressants - targeting alternative neural pathways that may support relief when other treatments haven’t been enough.

If you haven’t found the relief you deserve, know that other pathways forward exist. Curious whether Spravato might be right for you? We’re here to talk through it. 💚

We’re so grateful to see this work reflected in the broader conversation. Our sister nonprofit, the Institute for Rural Psychedelic Care, was named as one of seven grantees supported through the Healing Hearts, Changing Minds initiative, advancing research in psychedelic-assisted end-of-life care. 💛

Through this grant, IRPC will offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) alongside narrative medicine for terminally ill patients in rural communities. The focus is on supporting reflection, meaning-making, and presence; for patients and their families, during life’s final chapters.

This work is grounded in the belief that care at the end of life isn’t only about managing symptoms, but about honoring the human experience, the relationships that matter, and the stories people carry with them. We’re deeply thankful to for supporting this work with care and intention.
