Ketamine Assisted Therapy

Are you struggling with persistent depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health challenges that haven't responded to traditional treatments? Ketamine-assisted therapy offers a groundbreaking solution that could transform your life.

What is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?

Ketamine-assisted therapy is an innovative treatment that combines the use of ketamine, a powerful psychoactive medication, with professional psychotherapy. This approach harnesses ketamine's unique properties to create a window of neuroplasticity, allowing for rapid and profound shifts in mental states and thought patterns.

How Does It Work?

Medical Administration: Ketamine can be administered through multiple routes, including injections, nasal sprays, oral solutions/troches, and intravenous infusions. Under careful medical supervision, in our office we provide subanesthetic dose ketamine injections. In our experience, nasal and oral dosing does not provide reliable, consistent amounts of medicine and many patients are very anxious about establishing IV access for therapy. We alleviate anxiety and provide safe, reliable dosing every time with our approach.

Non-ordinary States of Consciousness: The ketamine induces a brief, dissociative state, often described as dream-like or introspective.

Guided Therapy: During this altered state, a trained clinician guides you through a therapeutic process, helping you explore emotions, memories, and thought patterns.

Integration: Following the ketamine session, you'll work with your therapist to integrate insights and experiences into your daily life.

Key Benefits of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

Rapid Relief: Many patients report significant improvement in symptoms within hours or days, unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to show effects.
Effectiveness for Treatment-Resistant Conditions: Ketamine has shown promise in helping those who haven't responded to other treatments, offering hope where other approaches have failed.
Neuroplasticity Boost: Ketamine promotes the growth of new neural connections, potentially rewiring the brain for lasting positive change.
Breakthrough Insights: The altered state can provide new perspectives on long-standing issues, facilitating powerful emotional and cognitive breakthroughs.
Reduced Suicidal Ideation: Studies have shown ketamine's potential to rapidly reduce suicidal thoughts in some patients.
Holistic Approach: By combining medicine with psychotherapy, this treatment addresses both the biological and psychological aspects of mental health.
Potential for Lasting Change: Many patients report sustained improvements beyond the immediate effects of the treatment.
