Transformational Medicine is a new model of healing that supports your brain, body, mind, community, environment, and relationships. We treat all of you.
Kuya’s whole human care offers integrative psychiatry, psychedelic-assisted therapy, neuroscience, regenerative medicine, functional medicine, and life design—all under one roof.
More importantly, Kuya leverages the power of modern medicine alongside a transformational process to engage not only your brain, body, and mind, but also your Soul.
At Kuya, we support you in claiming healing that lasts and discovering a life you love.
Transform your life.
You deserve it.
It’s time.
And it’s here—at Kuya.
finally,
love your life!
our mission is simple, yet transformational:
Feel Better
Optimize, heal, and connect. These are the building blocks you need to create a life that inspires. We optimize your body and all of its systems, addressing everything from hormonal imbalances to cognitive function. Then we offer psychotherapy that helps you safely explore, understand, and transform your thoughts, fears, emotions, relationships, and past trauma so that they no longer hold you back. Finally, we teach you how to connect with yourself, your friends and family, your community, and your purpose. Our goal is for you to walk out of Kuya thinking, “This is the best I’ve ever felt!”
Create deeply fulfilling relationships
As you get to know yourself better through therapy, you begin to see patterns. What hurts? What persists? What thought traps do you fall into again and again? You also learn what helps. We teach you how to cultivate empathy, for yourself and others. This empowers you to lead from a place of authenticity and vulnerability, and to deepen your relationships with others and with yourself.
Come into your power
Choosing to heal takes courage. It means facing fear, trauma, dependencies, and grief. Once your brain, body, and mind are transformed, your struggles no longer define you. You are the one in control of your life. You feel empowered and confident, which allows you to uncover your purpose in life. Finally, you are living the life you were meant to. This healing journey gifts you with a wisdom that is unique to you. We help you heal so you can share your gift with the world.

where science meets the Soul
The practice of modern psychiatry is predominantly a medication model, and thus benefits the longer you're sick. This model is outdated. The underlying issues must be addressed so that life can be celebrated again. This is the model we have created at Kuya.
Modern medicine is incredibly powerful. Neuroscience is discovering how to restore and rewire our brains. Epigenetics has demonstrated that our genes are not our fate and we can design our lives in ways that best support a thriving human system. Bio optimization allows us to push the limits of human performance. Regenerative medicine supports our bodies’ building blocks. And psychedelics have the power to change our minds for the better—safely and quickly.
This is the science. But what is the Soul?
Soul is an ancient word. In Greek, it translates to psyche, the root word of psychiatry, a practice whose roots lie in Soul-centered medicine.
Soul is what animates your life.
Soul is your source of love.
Soul holds your code for living well.
Like others, we leverage the power of modern medicine to heal your brain, body, and mind. The Kuya difference is how we immerse you in and support you through a Soul-centered transformational process, helping you unlock the code your Soul holds for your life.
We believe your Soul’s dream is your life’s purpose. And when we live a life of purpose, we are fulfilled—we’ve landed home in a life we love.
