For the majority of the time that psychotherapy has been around, we’ve been healing the mind through words (Freud, the father of psychotherapy, called it “the talking cure”). More recently, however, we’ve gained exciting new tools, including psychiatric medications and somatic modalities that incorporate the body. The most powerful recent development in the field of therapy is the addition of psychedelic treatment. Psychedelics augment or expand consciousness in ways that reach beyond words, and when paired with therapeutic processing, open up incredible potential for healing, self-discovery, and deep integration. 

In my practice, I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). The research behind KAP is compelling, demonstrating rapid and lasting improvements in mental health disorders, including PTSD, anxiety, and treatment-resistant depression. Since I started offering KAP, I have been blown away by the outcomes my clients experience. I’ve seen people tap into the unconscious in amazing ways, and move past issues that have kept them stuck for years as they access and process material that their defenses usually keep out of reach. 

To offer KAP, I work with a medical provider who will prescribe the medication. You will need to have an appointment with this provider prior to your in-office ketamine session. I prefer to offer KAP in an intensive format [hyperlink to intensives page]. We will start with 2-3 hours of preparation, so you can learn about the medicine, set intentions, and share your history around your chosen problem. The medicine session itself lasts 2 hours. Afterwards, we will meet for 2 hours of integration and processing. Preparation and integration may take place over the course of several sessions; in an intensive format, we can consolidate the process into one or two days.
