Beond Inc

Seeking Psychedelic Assisted Therapists

Beond Mexico (Beond Treatment S.R.L. de C.V. ) is a state of the art residential psychedelic-assisted treatment program based in Mexico providing services for people who experience challenges with a variety of substance use and mental health issues. Through our onsite (and supplementary telemedicine-based) we treat addictions to opioids, alcohol, stimulants, and prescription medication dependence, as well as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, self-destructive behavioral issues, and other conditions.

The Beond 5-Phase treatment delivery model ("Insight Oriented Ibogaine'') typically includes treatments using ibogaine (and incorporating additional psychedelic substances, as medically advisable.) Our proprietary safety protocols were developed by board-certified physicians and were peer-reviewed by the leading subject matter experts. Insight Oriented Ibogaine at Beond represents an innovative and effective path to achieving profound transformation for people (and families) for whom conventional treatments have not been effective or satisfying. For more information on Beond, our programs, ibogaine and our success please read our Ibogaine Clinical Summary and our Manifesto available at beond.us

Overview of Therapist Role

Beond Inc (www.beond.us) is recruiting experienced therapeutic psychology and mental health professionals (psychologists, therapists and clinical social workers) to join our psychotherapy practice as either full-time or part-time (minimum 10-15 hrs per week) team members.

We are seeking licensed clinical psychotherapists with trauma-informed training and approach, strong interpersonal skills and a deep personal motivation to be an integral part of a dynamic and rapidly growing team who are dedicated to providing the best possible care for our clients. Our care is delivered both on-site at our facility and/or via remote telemedicine. Our therapists help foster the development of our client’s understanding of the benefits resulting from the incorporation of psychedelic therapies in the treatment of chemical dependency, depression, anxiety and trauma.

The ideal candidate brings proper training, relevant experience, as well as a grounded, authentic, spiritually-fit personal vision and passion to bear on Beond’s mission of continuous improvement, and relishes the opportunity to advance our delivery models and client satisfaction. Our team shares a collective mission to transform (radically improve) the mental health care system to urgently help many more people, families and communities who are underserved by limited access and the outcomes of certain conventional technologies, rehabilitation methods and treatment facilities. Please join us!

Over the past two decades, our medical leadership has researched the science and practices of Ibogaine-assisted treatment (and other psychedelic therapies) as administered privately in medically-based clinics around the world, with the aim of improving safety and efficacy in addressing chemical dependence – including the use of ibogaine for alcoholism,opiate addiction, and most recently behavioral disorders.

Our philosophy of treatment is an integrative, collaborative approach which emphasizes the importance of therapeutic engagement in the cultivation of the self-motivated agency in our clients, at every stage. Our interdisciplinary team of partners aim to create optimal conditions for the immediate and enduring experience of healing within a purpose-designed “set and setting” that helps to catalyze the innate healing intelligence within each of our clients. We believe that the biochemical and neuroplastic properties of iboga and ibogaine are compounded when our clients are truly prepared for a full range of diverse experiences onsite and online, as well as individually and in groups. We provide a variety of interventions and contexts to foster new personal insights and shifts in perspectives that can be integrated into a client’s healing transformation, longer term aftercare, and overall lifestyle.

The therapist role will include: conducting intake assessments, utilizing standard and

customized psychological evaluation scales and instruments, developing customized treatment plans, and providing ongoing therapeutic support throughout a client’s course of treatment before, during and after their visit to our facilities. Leading the course of treatment requires conducting individual and group therapy sessions designed to guide clients in developing new insight, improving coping strategies, improving day-to-day functioning, developing and implementing integration experiences, and improving overall wellness and quality of life for our guests (and sometimes, their families).

Leading the innovation in the practice of psychedelic-assisted mental health treatment for a broad range of conditions requires a dynamic,adaptable, and process-oriented approach, with the capacity to respond flexibly and with a sense of urgency. Our medical + psych + hospitality and therapeutic-coaching teams exhibit a highly motivated attitude of “how can we help” – built on our strong sense of solidarity and integrated cross-functional (collaborative) approach. Beond seeks professionals who are eager to bring their talents and excellence to this exciting phase of growth and evolution at Beond. As we evolve our delivery model and psychology protocols, this client-facing role can be either a full time or part time contract position in alignment with the therapist's schedule.
