Terms & Conditions

The ground rules for using this site, booking a consultation, and attending a retreat.

Last updated: 14 September 2026

This is a plain-language starting point, not legal advice. Please have your own attorney review it before relying on it.

Agreement

By using this website, booking a consultation, or submitting a retreat application you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

This site is not medical advice

Everything on this website is general information about therapy, coaching, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. It is not medical or mental-health advice, it is not a diagnosis, and reading it does not create a therapist–client relationship. That relationship begins only when we have met, agreed to work together, and you have signed the practice’s intake and consent documents.

Never delay seeking professional advice, or stop a prescribed medication, because of something you read here.

In an emergency

This site is not monitored and is not for emergencies. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911. If you are outside the United States, contact your local emergency number.

Consultations

A consultation is a conversation to see whether working together makes sense. It is not a clinical assessment and it does not guarantee that services will be offered to you. Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or move a consultation.

Retreat applications and eligibility

Applying for the Light in the Mountains retreat does not reserve a place. Every applicant is reviewed, and a place is only confirmed after both of the following:

  • We agree together that the retreat is a fit for you, and
  • An independent partner clinic reviews your health history and current medications and medically clears you.

Medical clearance and the partner clinic

Ketamine is prescribed, dosed, and supervised by the licensed partner clinic, not by me. The clinic is responsible for the medical side of your care and has its own consent forms, screening criteria, and clinical judgement. It may decline to clear you, and that decision is final. My role is the psychotherapy and the structure of the retreat.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is not suitable for everyone. It carries real risks, and outcomes differ from person to person. Nothing here promises a particular result.

Payment and cancellation

Retreat fees, deposits, and the payment schedule are set out in the booking documents you receive once a place is offered. Those documents govern what you pay and when.

If you cancel, or if you are not medically cleared, the refund position depends on how close to the retreat date the cancellation happens; the booking documents state the exact terms. Retreat dates may occasionally need to move for weather, safety, or clinical reasons; in that case you will be offered the next available date or a refund of amounts paid for the retreat itself.

Travel to and from the retreat, and any travel insurance, are your responsibility.

Your responsibilities

  • Give complete and honest information during screening. Withholding medical or medication history puts your safety at risk and may result in your place being withdrawn without refund.
  • Follow the safety instructions given on site, including any preparation and abstinence requirements.
  • Respect the privacy of other participants. What other people share at a retreat stays there.

Clinic and professional services

Consultation, training, and program design work for clinics is governed by the separate written agreement signed for that engagement. These terms apply to the website only.

Content on this site

The text, photographs, and design on this site belong to Jeremy Van Wert unless credited otherwise. Please do not reproduce them commercially without permission. Testimonials describe individual experiences and are not a promise of a similar outcome.

Third-party links and embeds

This site embeds a booking calendar, forms, and videos hosted by other companies, and links to other websites. I do not control those services and am not responsible for their content or their handling of your information.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this website. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for professional negligence.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, and the courts of California have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute about them.

Changes

These terms may be updated from time to time. The version published here at the moment you use the site is the one that applies.
