Our Team

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

Life’s journey can be demanding, and navigating mental health challenges requires a team you can trust. At Kadima, we assembled a team of experts who understand your needs.

From experienced physicians and psychiatrists who diagnose and manage complex conditions, to insightful integration therapists who guide you through the transformative process of psychedelic therapy, and compassionate nurses who provide exceptional support, our team is hand-picked for their unique skillsets and unwavering commitment to personalized, evidence-based care.

We believe in fostering a collaborative environment where your voice is heard, your needs understood, and your path to healing is paved with respect, empathy, and expertise.
