About

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Training

Introducing Dr. Newes

Led by  Dr. Sandra Newes, longstanding provider and trainer in legal psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, LMI combines evidence-based practice, clinical expertise, and a deep understanding of psychedelic lineage.


Dr. Newes focuses on real clinical skills, developing your relationship with the psychedelic state, best practices, safety, and developing a supportive and responsive community to help “grow you” into this work.

Mission

Integrating neuroscience-based psychotherapy with traditional psychedelic healing practices through the legal, clinical use of ketamine.

Bridging ancient wisdom and modern science—honoring time-tested healing traditions while applying evidence-based approaches grounded in contemporary research.

Studies show that ketamine and other psychedelics influence the brain in consistent, measurable ways, and LMI's programs are designed around these findings.

At the same time, LMI recognizes the deep knowledge held by ancient cultures that understood these tools through lived experience.

What They Are Saying

Very well rounded deep approach to psycholytic medication and its use in mental health, including thorough discussion and experience of potential positives and challenges.
