In addition to his clinical psychiatry practice (The Apollo Clinic &#8211; www.apollo.clinic) focused on treatment-resistant mental illnesses and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, Dr. Rabin is currently conducting research on the epigenetic regulation of trauma responses and recovery to elucidate the mechanism of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and the neurobiology of belief.
