Maria Velkova, managing partner of Tabula Rasa Ventures, discusses the use of psychedelics in therapy and the work her organization is doing to support the space. She explains that psychedelic-assisted therapy is a novel care delivery model that combines traditional therapy with the use of psychedelic medicines. Velkova emphasizes the efficacy of these therapies, particularly for veterans who have high unmet needs. She also discusses the history of psychedelics and the negative connotations associated with them, as well as the current shift towards acceptance and understanding.
