Discover the Power of Psychedelic Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Expert Psychiatric Mental Health Care and Treatment
A psychiatry and psychotherapy practice dedicated to comprehensive, highly personalized, and confidential care for a broad spectrum of mental health concerns. I use a combination of pharmacologic (medication) and non-pharmacologic (psychotherapy) and alternative/complementary) treatments to help clients achieve their optimum health and well-being goals.
Dr. Dickson provides his patients with the compassion, skills, and therapeutic space they need to grow by utilizing innovative, evidence-based approaches that combine traditional medicine and nursing practices with mind-body healing modalities.
Dr. Dickson provides psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, which is currently available with ketamine and is rapidly approaching FDA approval with MDMA and psilocybin. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is revolutionizing mental healthcare by providing robust and long-lasting relief from a variety of difficult-to-treat mental illnesses.

Dr. Dickson is a dual board-certified psychiatric mental health and family nurse practitioner and addiction specialist specializing in treating adults with psychiatric and co-occurring substance use disorders along with complex trauma.
Todd is the founder and provider at Dickson Psychiatric Services, working in collaboration with PURE, to provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Todd takes a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach to patient care. A biopsychosocial-spiritual model is a holistic approach acknowledging the interaction between physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of patient care and well-being. As a Polaris Institute-trained psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, Todd has a solid foundation in various theoretical approaches and draws from psychodynamic, humanistic, existentialist, cognitive behavioral therapy, and new neuroscience research. Dr. Dickson is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
Todd works with clients so they can explore their current difficulties, personal beliefs, and values, find ways to cope and uncover the connection between past and present experiences. Todd gives his full attention to a safe place to express emotions, and his knowledge and experience give his patients as much support as possible.
Kristen Paradise, LPCC
Kristen is a psychedelic assisted psychotherapist, and founder of PURE Therapy. Kristen provides KAP in collaboration with Dickson Psychiatric Services, to address grief/loss, identity/gender, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health concerns. Kristen is an end-of-life doula, and a past active duty military spouse, who has passion for assisting first responders, military members, and their families. Kristen believes in creating a comfortable and authentic space for her patients to explore, and find healing through inner wisdom and external support. Kristen has supported 200+ KAP sessions, is a lead therapist in Minnesota’s first psilocybin clinical trail for treatment resistant depression, and is hopeful to incorporate psilocybin assisted psychotherapy into mental health, as a standard of practice for palliative care and hospice, allowing terminally diagnosed patients an opportunity to work through their existential anxiety.
One of the main intentions of her work in mental health, is to assist individuals with feeling less alone in this world, and finding peace from within, so that it can be spread externally in one’s life. Through the process of Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP), it is her hope that those who have struggled to find something that works for them, are now able to work through some of the aspects of life, that may be blocking them from reaching their personal goals.
