Psychedelic assisted therapy has been on your mind for a while now. You want to see if the amazing results that John Hopkins, Yale, Columbia and many others have been researching can manifest in your life. Now is as good as a time as any to make major moves toward the breaking through you have been looking for. We work with individuals who are looking to address long-standing depression and PTSD with Ketamine Assisted Therapy. I know it feels like a lot and you don’t know how this will work but we can work to make it better.
We have been offering KAP services since 2021! We prioritize bringing this medicine to queer & BIPOC communities by queer & BIPOC providers but serve everyone who is interested in healing. With the pause on MDMA's FDA approval, ketamine is the only legal psychedelic available for therapeutic use. Ask us about insurance coverage for KAP groups and spravato!
Ketamine assisted therapy is highly effective in addressing treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and even eating disorders. I am one of a team of 10 therapists who are offering this revolutionary new treatment while prioritizing the mental health needs of Queer People of Color, People of Color, and Gender Diverse individuals. Email us for more information!
