Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy combines psychotherapy with physician-prescribed ketamine treatment to help individuals experiencing treatment-resistant depression, trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders. When integrated with structured therapeutic support, ketamine may help reduce psychological barriers, increase neuroplasticity, and deepen emotional insight.
What Is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?
Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that has been used safely in medical settings for decades. In recent years, research has shown that low-dose ketamine, when prescribed and monitored by a licensed medical provider, may reduce symptoms of depression and trauma. Ketamine-Assisted Therapy involves preparing for the experience, integrating insights afterward, and using psychotherapy to support lasting change.
Who May Benefit?
This approach may be helpful for individuals experiencing treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, chronic anxiety, persistent negative thought patterns, or emotional numbness. It may also support individuals seeking breakthrough experiences when traditional therapy alone has felt limited.
How It Works
Therapy sessions focus on preparation, intention-setting, emotional processing, and integration. The ketamine medication itself is prescribed and medically managed by an independent licensed physician or medical provider. My role is to provide psychotherapeutic support before and after the medical treatment.
Why Combine Therapy With Ketamine?
Research suggests ketamine may temporarily increase neuroplasticity, allowing new emotional and cognitive pathways to form. When paired with skilled psychotherapy, this window can help individuals shift long-standing patterns and reconnect with motivation, clarity, and meaning.
