Ketamine-Assisted Therapists in Tampa, FL
I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical.
While there are many excellent therapists, the question of best fit is vital. My therapeutic approach honors suffering and difference. Therapy is a place for healing through words, stories, and a trusting relationship. Through this relationship new narrative possibilities arise, as empathy and compassion open a path for creative collaboration. The goal of this approach is relief from old narratives and relationship patterns that no longer serve you. As you develop greater insight and awareness, you gain the freedom to make more intentional decisions about how and who you want to be.

As a man, you feel defeated by life and by your relationship. Work has become unfulfilling, and there is no motivation to do the things that used to bring you joy. Any disagreement with your partner turns into an argument, which causes you to lash out or completely shut down. Your reactions during these conflicts feel out of your control, or you're carrying unresolved pain from your past—particularly from a difficult relationship with a parent. You’re carrying the weight of so many unresolved emotions and it feels as if no one understands what you’re going through.

You've gotten really good at holding it together. On the outside, things look fine — maybe even impressive. But inside, you're exhausted, overthinking everything, and feeling disconnected from your own life. You tell yourself your past "wasn't that bad." You push through. And somehow, that's exactly what stops working.
You might be in the right place if you wake up at 3am and can't turn your mind off. If you feel present in your relationships but not really there. If you've accomplished a lot and still feel like something is missing.

I have over 25 yrs experience working with individuals facing mental health and substance use concerns. I strive to provide an open safe space with no judgement to discuss thoughts, feelings and behaviors with the intention of creating opportunities for change. These changes may be practiced and adjusted as needed to find a solution that fits the unique person that is you. If one is trying to make a change and has a slip aka "blip in the radar of life". We do not start all over, we look at what was learned with curiosity and start again where we are in the process. This is a shame and blame free zone. We are all works in progress.

Do you feel like you have been in survival mode for so long that rest feels unfamiliar or like your mind never slows down? I work with adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and those seeking greater self-awareness and personal growth. My work can be especially supportive for individuals who feel disconnected from themselves. My approach to therapy is deeply holistic and integrative, honoring the profound connection between the mind, body, and nervous system. I believe that meaningful and lasting healing happens when we address this connection together in a supportive and empowering space.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, self-aware adults and couples who've often done therapy before. They can name their patterns, triggers, and history — yet the same cycles keep repeating in their relationships, their bodies, and daily life. Insight hasn't been enough. They come carrying trauma, anxiety, relational struggles, neurodivergence, grief, burnout, or meaningful experiences they're still making sense of. I work in the gap between understanding yourself and living differently, helping insight reorganize how you feel, relate, and choose — so change becomes lived, not just understood.

Traumas, attachment trauma, and life challenges such as loss, depression and anxiety can leave us feeling empty, lost and wondering if life will ever improve. Finding the right prescription of modalities is vital for healing.

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.
