Let’s face it, if staying exactly the same was working for you, you wouldn’t be scrolling through therapist bios right now. Whether it's PTSD, depression, addiction, anxiety, or just a general sense of "meh," the goal is always the same: Change.

"I’ve tried to feel better- through therapy, medication, diet changes, exercise, self-help books- and yet something still feels off..." That’s because true healing requires more than treating one symptom or one part. Psychedelic-assisted treatment is not for everyone, but if you have depression, anxiety, addiction, and/or PTSD that has persisted even with repeated treatment with medication and therapy, an integrative approach may be for you. Combining psychedelic treatment with therapy and somatic treatment has been shown to be significantly more effective than medical or therapeutic treatment alone.

You've talked about it, analyzed it, explained it to therapist after therapist. You're strong on the outside while something underneath is running the show. You're high functioning, yet still feel like something is off. Holding it together isn’t the problem. It’s what got you this far. Now let’s deal with what it’s been covering for. We can't outtalk trauma. It lives in your body, in your nervous system, your patterns, the parts of you still trying to protect you from something that already happened. That's why I specialize in approaches that go deeper.

Ketamine-Assisted Therapists
What is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is a treatment method that involves using ketamine’s trance-inducing and pain-relieving properties to help individuals work through various mental and emotional challenges.
Why is Ketamine used for depression?
Ketamine is employed to treat depression, particularly when other treatments have failed, due to its unique, rapid-acting relief of depressive symptoms and its ability to enhance neural plasticity. Unlike conventional antidepressants, which may take weeks to be effective, ketamine can alleviate symptoms within hours, making it especially valuable for severe or suicidal depression. It acts by blocking NMDA receptors, subsequently promoting the release of neurotrophic factors like BDNF, which aid in the formation of new synaptic connections, fostering neural resilience and reducing depressive symptoms. The psychotropic and dissociative effects of ketamine also provide a therapeutic window for patients to explore and reframe distressing thoughts and emotions under guided supervision, potentially resolving underlying psychological contributors to depression. While its use can be transformative, it necessitates cautious administration in controlled settings due to potential side effects and abuse risks.
How is Ketamine used in Psychotherapy
Ketamine can be utilized in therapy to facilitate psychological healing and transformation, particularly in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. When administered in controlled, subanesthetic doses, it induces altered states of consciousness, allowing individuals to access and explore suppressed or unconscious thoughts, emotions, and memories. This dissociative state creates a therapeutic window where patients, guided by a trained psychotherapist, can work through traumatic experiences, reframe negative thought patterns, and address the emotional roots of their mental health challenges. The synergistic combination of ketamine’s psychotropic effects and psychotherapeutic intervention aims to promote lasting change, enhance self-awareness, and improve overall mental well-being, providing a valuable option for those with treatment-resistant mental health conditions.
What happens in Ketamine therapy?
In ketamine psychotherapy, patients undergo a series of sessions where they receive controlled doses of ketamine, typically via injection or infusion, under the supervision of a trained healthcare provider. Ketamine induces a trance-like or altered state of consciousness, which enables patients to access and explore deep-seated thoughts, emotions, and memories that are typically unconscious or inaccessible. Throughout this altered state, a trained psychotherapist guides the patient to help them process their experiences, offering support and intervention to help the individual address and reframe traumatic memories or negative thought patterns. This combination of pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches aims to create lasting positive changes in mental health and well-being by resolving underlying psychological issues and enhancing the individual's coping mechanisms and resilience. The process can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with treatment-resistant mental health conditions like severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
