“The attempt to escape from pain, is what creates more pain. ”
— Dr. Gabor Maté

Our History

Vie Santé Medical began as a small, specialized practice focused on addressing addiction. Founded with a commitment to helping individuals break free from the cycles of substance abuse, our practice provided compassionate, evidence-based care for those struggling with addiction. During this process, we learned that the basis for addiction is trauma. Viewing addiction through this lens, we recognized the growing need for more comprehensive and inner-directed mental health solutions and transitioned our services to better serve our community.

Understanding the potential of emerging treatments, we introduced psychedelic therapies and innovative approaches into our practice, offering new hope for those facing complex mental health challenges. Today, Vie Santé Medical remains dedicated to providing cutting-edge, holistic care that empowers individuals on their journey to recovery and well-being.

Our Mission

Having witnessed the profound, often invisible wounds left by PTSD, anxiety, and depression, our mission is deeply personal: to offer a path to healing through the transformative power of psychedelics. We believe in the potential of these medicines to unlock the inner resilience present within us all, enabling individuals to reconnect with themselves and break free from the cycles of trauma and suffering.

Our goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where individuals can explore the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics under careful guidance. This work encompasses more than just treatment; it aims to help people reclaim their lives and rediscover a sense of peace, purpose, and belonging.

We are dedicated to ensuring that every person who seeks this journey receives the care, understanding, and support they deserve. We believe that together, we can transform pain into healing and despair into hope.

Our Vision

We envision a future where psychedelic therapies are widely recognized and accessible as transformative treatments for mental health. By integrating psychedelics into mainstream healthcare, we aim to provide new hope for those suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other conditions. Our goal is to foster a global shift in mental health treatment, approaching healing with compassion, innovation, and deep respect for each individual’s unique journey. Through this vision, we strive to break down barriers, destigmatize mental health issues, and create a world where emotional well-being is attainable for everyone.
