At the forefront of the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy, InnerMost is a research site for industry-sponsored and independently initiated clinical trials. Building on his 15 years of experience in psychedelic-assisted therapy research, Dr. Casey Paleos guides our research team as Principal Investigator in all current and future trials.

Frontline healthcare workers endured extraordinary stress during the pandemic, and many continue to carry symptoms of trauma. This study seeks to explore whether MDMA-assisted therapy can provide meaningful relief and support for those who served in these critical roles.

At InnerMost, our clinical trials are designed to carefully explore how psychedelic medicines can be used safely and effectively to support healing. We strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment for participants, while also contributing valuable insights to the growing field of psychedelic research.
Some sponsor trials will compensate you for your participation, which might cover travel and lodging, while others are voluntary. For trials without a budget, participating is of no cost to you beyond travel and lodging.
It depends—some research trials may require that you taper off your medications under the guidance of a physician. In other trials, you may be able to continue your prescribed treatment throughout the study.
Every session takes place in a safe, supportive environment with trained professionals present. You’ll also have preparatory sessions before dosing and integration sessions afterward to help process and apply your experiences.
Not necessarily. Some studies are randomized and double-blind, which means participants may receive either a psychedelic compound or placebo.
If at any point you decide a trial isn’t right for you, you’re welcome to stop. Your well-being is our priority, and we’ll be here to help navigate the withdrawal process if needed.
