Thomas is a physician assistant who specializes in psychiatry and ketamine assisted therapy. Thomas earned his Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Utah, following a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies. Prior to joining Numinus, Thomas was able to complete additional training in an 8 week psychedelic assisted therapy certificate program with SCPTR. He continues to learn more on his own and is also completing additional psychedelic therapy education with Numinus. Over the past few years, Thomas has been able to perform thousands of ketamine assisted therapy sessions and continues to refine his interactive approach to maximize benefits. Ketamine is usually administered in a medical model without therapy during the ketamine experience. In contrast to this model, Thomas has a passion for one-on-one guided ketamine therapy sessions with a more individualized approach. When ketamine is used in this guided therapy approach, it allows patients to discover root causes and the limiting beliefs and perspectives driving their mental health challenges. Additionally, Thomas provides the tools for patients to rewire those limiting beliefs with empowering new beliefs, at the level of the subconscious so that these results will last long after the ketamine has worn off.
