Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
When You’ve Tried Everything You Know to Try
By now you understand your own depression well enough to take it apart from any angle.
Somewhere in the past year you started reading about ketamine.
The clinics that came up offer an appointment and a ride home afterward.
What the websites don’t tell you is whether anyone will be in the room with you doing the therapy part. That’s the right question to be asking.
The Medicine Is Only Part of What You’d Be Doing
Receiving ketamine and going home is a different treatment from the one we offer.
The medicine creates a temporary state of increased openness and reduced defensiveness.
The psychotherapy is what turns that openness into change that holds after the session ends.
The relationship comes first, and the medicine gets used inside it.
Your Session Runs Long Enough to Reach What Conversation Can’t
Sessions here are longer and more immersive than standard therapy.
The extra time lets us slow down and work with emotions, memories, beliefs, relationships, and questions of meaning.
Ordinary conversation struggles to reach that material, particularly after years of talking your way around it.
Three of our clinicians are trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and the one you’re matched with builds the work with you before the medicine ever enters it.
We Decide Together Whether This Makes Sense for You
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy isn’t appropriate for everyone.
The consultation covers what you’ve been experiencing, what you’ve already tried, and what you want to be different.
That third question does the most work of the three.
What you want out of this shapes whether we recommend it at all, and it shapes the treatment if we do.
Screen Us While We Screen You
We’re assessing whether this treatment fits what you’re dealing with.
You’re doing the same assessment about us, and you should.
Ask who stays in the room with you, what preparation involves, and what the weeks after the session look like.
A treatment that asks this much of you ought to answer plainly, and we will.
If It Fits, You Won’t Walk In Cold
Preparation comes before any medicine session, and it isn’t a formality.
You’ll know what the day involves.
You’ll go in with a therapeutic intention rather than curiosity alone.
Nothing about the experience gets squeezed to fit a standard therapy hour.
What You’re Working Toward Is Movement
Less dread when the day starts.
More interest in your own life.
More presence with the people you’ve been half-there for.
Possibilities that had gone quiet start looking worth considering again.
Let Us Tell You If This Isn’t for You
The consultation genuinely ends both ways.
Sometimes ketamine-assisted psychotherapy makes sense for what you’re dealing with, and we tell you how we’d begin.
Sometimes it doesn’t, and we say so, along with what we’d suggest trying instead.
A clear no is worth having, because it tells you where to put your effort next.
Tell Us Where You’d Like This to Move
You don’t need the whole thing figured out before you write to us.
Some people know exactly which kind of therapy they want. Others know only that something isn’t working anymore, and that’s enough to start with.
Tell us what’s been going on, what you’ve already tried, and what you’d like to feel different. We’ll think it through with you and point you toward the therapist and the approach that fit.
You’ve done plenty of understanding already, and now it’s worth finding out what gets it moving.
