Altered State Therapy

Many people reach a point in their healing journey where they’ve tried talk therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes, but still feel stuck. It can feel frustrating when you’re putting in the work, but nothing seems to fully shift.

PsyQi Program

Emerging Approaches to Mental Health

At Qi Integrated Health, our PsyQi program was created for people ready to explore deeper, supported approaches to healing using alternative medicines.

Grounded in emerging research and clinical best practices, PsyQi offers K.A.T. within a structured, professional setting, guided by licensed practitioners and supported every step of the way.

The PsyQi program is legal, licensed, and insured, and may be eligible for coverage under extended health benefits.

How It Works

Deeper Healing Beyond Traditional Talk Therapy

Alternative medicine therapy works differently than traditional talk therapy. Rather than focusing only on conscious processing, K.A.T. may support:

  • Gently uncovering the emotional patterns that have been quietly shaping your life
  • Opening the door to new perspectives — on yourself, your past, and what’s possible
  • Creating meaningful shifts in how pain, memory, and emotion are held in your body and mind
  • Moving through difficult experiences softly, and with compassionate support beside you

For some, this can open the door to breakthroughs that previously felt out of reach.

Support for First Responders & Veterans

For those who serve on the front lines: police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and veterans, the impact of repeated exposure to high-stress and traumatic situations can build over time.

Even with strong support systems and traditional care, many continue to experience symptoms such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, or burnout.

The PsyQi program offers an additional way to support healing for individuals in these roles.
