Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy & Psychedelic-Informed Care

Therapeutic support for an integrative process

For some individuals, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy may be an option to explore as part of a broader mental health treatment plan.

My interest in integrative therapeutic work reflects a broader understanding of healing: meaningful change can involve preparation, the therapeutic relationship, attention to emotional and bodily experience, and thoughtful integration of what emerges.

What is ketamine-assisted psychotherapy?

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines ketamine treatment, provided under appropriate medical supervision, with psychotherapy. The precise arrangement varies by provider and treatment model.

Where offered, psychotherapy may involve preparation, therapeutic support around the treatment experience, and subsequent integration sessions. These elements can help clients reflect on their experiences and consider how they relate to their ongoing therapeutic goals.

Ketamine is not appropriate for everyone, and treatment decisions should be made with qualified medical professionals.

The role of psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can provide a space to explore the emotions, memories, questions, and personal meaning that arise during the treatment process.

Depending on the individual and the treatment arrangement, this may involve somatic awareness, relational exploration, mindfulness, and integration of insights into everyday life.

A thoughtful, individualized approach

Every person’s circumstances and needs are different. An initial conversation can help clarify your goals, questions, and whether the services I offer may be appropriate for you.
