About Cole:

Cole is a Psychedelic Assisted Therapist and Advisor, focusing solely on researching and developing ibogaine treatment protocols to treat individuals suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and neurological disorders. His life is a whirlwind of ongoing education and research; all fueled by his immense passion for life, learning and helping others.

After graduating from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and receiving a degree in both Accounting and Finance, he turned his talents to Corporate Accounting and then on to Financial Advising. As a result of a hockey injury and being prescribed opioids things began to decline over the next several years, ultimately leading him to the Ibogaine Clinic where he met David Dardashti.

What kindled Cole’s fiery passion about Ibogaine? First, he himself was treated by David Dardashti, for executive burnout and Suboxone dependence. This experience was so profound he left the financial world behind and joined his mentor David Dardashti, where he has been learning and developing ibogaine treatment protocols under David’s guidance.

David Dardashti, founder of the Ibogaine Clinic has helped over 3,500 individuals since establishment 15 years ago. He credits his learning and abilities to 37 years of study of the Talmud and Kabbalah. His studies include the inner workings of the human psyche – both conscious and subconscious – and the role it plays in trauma and substance abuse. In response to a dramatic increase in substance abuse, depression, and PTSD, David began the development of an Ibogaine treatment program and medical research center, the original Ibogaine Clinic also known as Ibogaine by David Dardashti.
