Initial Appointment

During this 45 minute initial evaluation, we will take a patient history and make sure you are medically and psychologically appropriate for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

We will review the risks and benefits of the treatment and answer any questions you have.

Our goal is to keep you safe and to make sure you are comfortable & informed before proceeding.

If you are an appropriate candidate, we will then schedule your upcoming treatments.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

Each ketamine appointment will take approximately 2 hours from beginning to end.

ARRIVAL (15 minutes): On arrival, your mood and vital signs (heart rate/blood pressure) will be assessed. Ketamine will then be given orally (by mouth) or intranasally (by nose). It will take a few minutes before the effects of Ketamine start working.

KETAMINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY (60 minutes): During the treatment, you will notice you feel different. You may see yourself in a different light, hopefully with more positivity and compassion. Your therapist will guide you through imagery that may appear and through thoughts/emotions that occur. You may feel “dissociated.” We will make sure you are safe and comfortable throughout the experience.

RECOVERY (45 minutes): After the treatment, you will remain in the recovery area until you are safe to leave with your pre-arranged transportation.

Maintenance Treatments

Select patients may benefit from maintenance treatments. These are less frequent treatments (1-2 treatments a month) for the few months following an initial series.

Maintenance treatments are offered to those who have responded robustly to the initial series and both the patient and provider feel that maintenance treatments can help sustain the effects.

    Trauma and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

    Trauma creates havoc to our mental well-being. Approximately 1 in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime. Studies have shown that Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy can greatly reduce symptoms of trauma (flashbacks, nightmares, depression, avoidance) and help people regain control of their lives.

    Anxiety

    Extreme anxiety can paralize and debilitate. Almost 1/3 of all American adults will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. This includes generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic attacks. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy has been shown to greatly reduce anxiety and improve quality of life.

  • Scattered black and white letters on a white background, with 'OCD' in the center.

    OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

    OCD is when a person has unwanted thoughts (obsessions), as well as uncontrollable urges to stop the thoughts (compulsions). People with OCD may spend their entire day obsessing about something and/or engaging in compulsive behaviors. When medications and cognitive behavioral therapy are no longer working, Ketamine may provide quick relief from OCD symptoms.

    Pain

    Several conditions, including cancer, fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, phantom pain, postherpetic neuralgia, sickle cell disease, and spinal injury, may result in chronic pain. Ketamine has been used to manage pain in all of these conditions. For those struggling with both psychological and physical pain, Ketamine may be a treatment that improves both.

    End Of Life Care

    Facing death can be extremely anxiety provoking. Ketamine Assisted Psychoterapy can offer peace of mind and reduced existential distress for those with terminal illness, during end-of-life care.
    Patients have reported that they had “less fear when facing death” and that Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy was “one of the most meaningful experiences” they’ve ever had.

    Other Conditions

    Ketamine has been shown to reduce suicidal thoughts. It is also being studied in Bipolar Disorder, Substance Abuse (alcohol and illicit drugs), and Tic Disorders.

    Patients from all walks of life are describing “a sense of well-being” after Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.
