Integrative Psychiatry Center - Niwot, Colorado

I recommend this place to people across the country from Boulder to this day. I did the program back in 2020 and it was truly life changing for me. My therapist inspired me so much and the treatment allowed me to open up to a therapist for the first time in my life after decades of failing to in traditional therapy settings. It was worth every dollar. I was permanently taken out of day-to-day fight or flight mode and I rarely have the PTSD nightmares anymore. Thank you IPC!

I completed the year-long program at the IPI with high hopes of deepening my practice, but I was deeply disappointed by the lack of cultural competence throughout the experience. Unfortunately, the program failed to create an inclusive and safe environment for BIPOC participants like myself.

Throughout the program, I was faced with multiple microaggressive incidents within my cohort. The selection process for participants seemed to overlook the importance of cultural awareness and sensitivity, leading to an environment where some participants were shockingly culturally ignorant. It was troubling to witness such individuals being trained as therapists, raising serious concerns about the ethical standards of the program.

Moreover, IPI bears responsibility for bringing on faculty members who exhibited racist behaviors. These incidents caused significant harm, yet there was no accountability or meaningful effort to address the issues. The lack of response to these incidents not only undermined the program’s credibility but also perpetuated a harmful environment for BIPOC participants.

In summary, IPI's program severely lacks cultural competence and fails to address the needs of BIPOC participants. The presence of culturally insensitive peers and racist faculty members further underscores the program's failure to uphold basic ethical standards. I cannot recommend this program to anyone seeking a truly inclusive and culturally aware training experience.

I had a call with them because I was exploring my education options and the guy (Jay) was extremely rude, I had many questions but he just hung up the call not a minute after he realized I probably couldn't do the training right away. Psychedelic science is supposed to be a safe environment for everyone and it didn't feel like that, it felt like they just want your money and his face when I said I wasn't an american citizen said it all. I wont recommend this place to anyone, they are just after the money and do not care about the people. I kindly suggest you IPC people go on a mushroom journey and learn something about compassion, empathy and good costumer service.

I had an amazing experience at IPC! Emily was my therapist and I felt fully accepted and supported during the entire healing process. She was friendly, compassionate, supportive, encouraging, and insightful. I always looked forward to my sessions. The facility is peaceful and welcoming with a lovely yoga/meditation space. I'm very surprised what a profound and transformative impact ketamine therapy has had on my well-being and enjoyment of life. I am abundantly grateful and highly recommend IPC.

I was under the care of the team at IPC for a span of five weeks. Every interaction with the team (Shannon, Dr. K, Jaime, and the two nurses) was extraordinary. All of my questions were answered, the process was thoroughly explained, and I received the reassurance that I sought.

Jaime Davila, my therapist, was generous with his care. He exhibited a kind of quiet, kind, non-boastful, precise wisdom from my very pre-journey session with him. He offered me the space needed to explore myself throughout this vulnerable experience.

The entire staff ensured I felt at ease. The center is inviting and soothing. I felt genuinely and meticulously cared for.

I’m forever grateful for this life-altering experience.

Dr. L. M.

I had a wonderful experience. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and supportive. The schedule was well organized. I had a opportunity to meet my fellow students who are incredibly receptive, excited and passionate about the field of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. I am truly grateful for the experience and would highly recommend to others.

My family’s experience with the doctors, nurses, and staff has been amazing. All that we have interacted with have been extremely professional, kind, and warm. The members of my family who have received treatment have been treated for depression and OCD. The results were transformative. A severe depression that had been going on for 4 months with multiple tweaks in meds and no improvement, began to slightly improve within the first couple of sessions of the 3 week treatment. An important point to note is that although improvement seemed slow at first, the rate of improvement increased with time and continued for the next month or so after treatment. About a month or so after treatment, my family member was completely out of their depression. They have also been able to taper off their antidepressants over the last couple months (5 months after treatment) and, so far, have been able to be handle stress and anxiety without them. I wish the best to all of you looking for help with your mental health. It can be such a tough road. Hopefully, if you choose Integrative Psychiatry Center, you have as great of an experience as we had and find the relief you are looking for.

The team at this facility is incredible, they are some of the most accommodating, educated, comforting and understanding people I have met. They've all helped me get through so much during my worst times and have provided me so many opportunities to heal, I cannot thank them enough.
I've done ketamine infusions before in a different facility, this one is much better. Everything was so quiet inside, they also made the environment perfectly accommodated to my needs, the infusion was so much more comforting for me because of this. I finally feel comfortable in my own skin because of these experiences, and it was mainly due to the psycho-therapy that occurs after the infusion. At first I was nervous of the idea of having a therapy session while on ketamine, but Sarah is so skilled and educated when it comes to keeping an comforting safe environment during a session, she helped me feel very confident and trusting towards the therapy.
I first found this facility during a very difficult time where other psychiatrists were declining me due to the severity of my medical issue, Dr. Cordes and her team were so understanding and helpful when I first talked to them, I honestly never felt so much caring and trust from a psychiatrist and her team. I really never thought I would be able to overcome my challenges, but all it took for me was to trust their plan.

Thank you so much to Dr. Cordes, Sarah, Marlo, Shannon and the rest of the IPHC Boulder team, I really appreciate it a lot!
