Discover Ketamine Therapy

 Sometimes we find ourselves caught in patterns that no amount of insight, determination, or traditional talk therapy seems to shift. We understand why we react the way we do, yet our nervous system continues to respond as though the danger is still present.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) offers a different way of working.

By combining psychotherapy with carefully prescribed ketamine in a safe and intentional setting, KAP can create a non-ordinary state of awareness where habitual patterns of protection may soften. This can allow new experiences, perspectives, and possibilities to emerge—often with greater curiosity, compassion, and flexibility than is available in our everyday state of consciousness.

While ketamine may help create the conditions for change, it does not do the healing.

Healing comes from your own inner healing intelligence—your nervous system’s innate capacity to restore balance, reorganize, and move toward wholeness when the conditions are right. Our role as therapists is to help create those conditions by providing safety, attunement, pacing, and thoughtful integration throughout the process.

KAP is not about forcing change. It is about supporting the natural process of healing that already exists within you.

 KAP may be appropriate for individuals experiencing:

• Depression, including treatment-resistant depression
• Anxiety
• PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
• Persistent patterns of emotional overwhelm or feeling stuck
• Difficulty accessing emotions or making lasting therapeutic progress

KAP is not appropriate for everyone. Determining whether this treatment is a good fit begins with a comprehensive assessment process.

At our practice, preparation is not simply the first step of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy—it is one of the most important parts of the entire process.

We believe that the quality of preparation directly influences the quality of the experience and the potential for lasting integration.

 Before any medicine session is scheduled, we begin with a thorough therapeutic assessment.

During this process we spend time understanding your history, current concerns, nervous system patterns, strengths, resources, and treatment goals. You will complete comprehensive clinical assessments and standardized questionnaires that help us determine whether KAP is an appropriate therapeutic modality for your unique circumstances.

Preparation is also where we begin building the therapeutic relationship. Together we clarify intentions, explore expectations, identify resources for regulation, and establish the safety and trust that support this work.

Because we are licensed therapists—not medical providers—we do not prescribe ketamine or provide medical clearance.

If, after our assessment, we believe KAP may be an appropriate treatment option, you will be referred to an independent medical provider for a comprehensive medical evaluation. That provider determines whether ketamine is medically appropriate and, if indicated, prescribes the medication.

Only after both the therapeutic assessment and the medical evaluation are complete do we collaboratively decide whether moving forward with KAP is in your best interest.

 Medicine sessions take place in a comfortable, carefully prepared therapeutic environment.

The prescribed ketamine may create changes in perception, awareness, or the way thoughts and emotions are experienced. Some individuals describe feeling deeply relaxed, emotionally open, or able to observe long-standing patterns from a different perspective.

Each experience is unique.

During the session, your therapist remains present, providing a calm, attuned presence while allowing your own process to unfold. We do not direct or interpret your experience in the moment. Instead, we support your nervous system’s capacity to remain engaged with whatever naturally emerges.

Music, eye shades, periods of silence, and gentle therapeutic support, including somatic experiencing and somatic touch, may all be incorporated to help facilitate the experience.

 Many people believe the medicine session is where the healing happens.

We believe integration is where healing begins to take root.

Within 72 hours following each medicine session, we work together to explore what emerged—not only cognitively, but emotionally, physically, and relationally.

Rather than rushing to assign meaning, we approach the experience with curiosity. We notice shifts in your nervous system, explore new patterns that may be emerging, and support your capacity to carry those experiences into everyday life.

Healing is rarely about a single breakthrough.

More often, it is the gradual restoration of capacity—the ability to experience more connection, more flexibility, more resilience, and more choice in how you respond to life’s challenges.

If you're interested in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, the first step is a consultation with a qualified provider to determine if it’s a good fit for your needs.

This approach is collaborative, intentional, and centered on your safety and well-being.
