Mental Health Coach (Psychedelics)

Peak’s mission is to inspire everyone to achieve their best mental fitness. Our clients find relief from depression and anxiety within hours of ketamine therapy. The FDA has recently approved ketamine for treatment-resistant depression and our clients report breakthroughs in their mental health with our program. We’re on the precipice of a mental health revolution - as impactful as the discovery of penicillin for the modern world.

We are in need of Mental Health Coaches that have experience with psychedelics and/or ketamine. Coaches are at the heart of Peak’s revolutionary treatment program and they are the guides for each and every client. By leveraging a proprietary therapy program designed by our Lead Psychologist, coaches design personalized routines for each client and meet biweekly to integrate their experiences. Coaches make all the difference.

You are a fit if you are comfortable sharing your own mental health journey and can empathize with clients. You leap at the idea that psychedelics are changing the world. You crave telling stories of clients’ mental health journeys. Since we are a startup, you value pragmatism, speed, and impact over structure, systems, and guidance. We need you to be self-driven, autonomous, and outcomes-driven.
