About the Position

Exciting opportunity to join our team at Field Trip Health in Fredericton, New Brunswick!  A relocation allowance will be provided. We’re looking for a Nurse Practitioner (adult, family, or psych) to join our innovative psychedelic psychotherapy practice.  You are a clinician with a patient-centered approach and who is well organized, has strong interpersonal skills, and exceptional bedside manner. Special consideration is given to those with a passion for the healing potential of mind/body modalities and/or non-ordinary states of consciousness and a desire to learn and grow within this emerging field. Training will be provided.

We recently opened a clinic in Fredericton, where we are seeing life-changing results from our clients. This is your chance to make a difference in people's lives.

Field Trip is currently offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with the vision of incorporating other psychedelic therapeutics once FDA expanded access is granted. 

Ketamine is emerging as an effective option in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health issues. Our treatment philosophy is an integrative, collaborative approach emphasizing the importance of therapeutic alliances, cultivating self-agency, and creating optimal conditions through the set and setting to support a person’s inner healing intelligence. We believe that the biochemical antidepressant and neuroplastic properties of ketamine are amplified when a person is well prepared for their journey and results maximized when there is space for new insights and perspectives to be integrated into their narratives.
