About The Center
The Center for Functional-Psychedelic Medicine was founded in 2021 by Dr. Maysa Alavi, MD, with a bold vision: to reimagine healing by blending the science of Western medicine with the wisdom of integrative and psychedelic therapies. As a functional-psychedelic clinic, we offer a heart-centered, research-informed approach to mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Rooted in New Orleans and housed inside the historic SPYRE wellness collective, The Center is more than a clinic-it's a sacred space for transformation. Our work is grounded in clinical excellence and a belief in each individual's innate healing intelligence. Whether you're exploring ketamine therapy, seeking integrative care, or stepping into psychedelic-assisted healing, we're here to walk alongside you with intention, care, and integrity.
