We are thrilled to share that Within Center has been featured in an article by The Austin Chronicle, shining a spotlight on our work with psychedelic therapy and the journey of our founder, David Naylor.
In the article, David opens up about his personal path—from struggling with addiction to facilitating over a thousand psychedelic therapy sessions in the past few years. His story is one of transformation, resilience, and a deep commitment to helping others find healing.
At Within Center, we use ketamine-assisted therapy to treat addiction, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. David shared insights into how our patients often confront feelings of loss and fears about dying during their sessions. Through these profound experiences, many find a new perspective on life and death, often feeling a sense of connection and oneness that brings comfort and understanding.
The piece also touches on the broader shift happening in psychiatry. There’s growing research showing that substances like psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine can be more effective for some people than traditional antidepressants. Studies have found that psychedelic therapy can significantly reduce anxiety and depression, especially for those facing terminal diagnoses.
David’s personal experiences with loss and his “Jerry Maguire moment” led him to explore ketamine therapy and other plant medicines. These journeys not only healed him in ways he never imagined but also ignited his passion to bring these therapies to others seeking hope and healing.
We’re honored that The Austin Chronicle has highlighted our work and the positive impact psychedelic therapy can have on people’s lives. This feature helps bring awareness to alternative treatments that can offer relief when conventional methods haven’t worked.
If you’re curious about how psychedelic therapy might help you or someone you love, we’re here to answer any questions. Our team at Within Center is dedicated to providing compassionate care and guiding individuals on their path to wellness.
