   INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Individual therapy, often referred to as psychotherapy or counseling, is a fundamental component of mental health treatment that revolves around personalized, one-on-one sessions between a therapist and a client. These sessions serve as a confidential and supportive space where individuals can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences. As of right now, all individual sessions are conducted virtually.

KETAMINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

We offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. We take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical’s medical team supports you on all medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes.

Below is more information about KAP to help you navigate if it may be a good fit for you.

Our sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where participants can explore their inner landscapes, gain insights, and experience profound emotional breakthroughs in a group setting. In our group sessions, participants will have the opportunity to explore and process deeply rooted emotional wounds and traumas, gain insights into patterns of thought and behavior and foster connections with others on similar journeys

KETAMINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

WHAT IS KETAMINE?

Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hrs. after treatment. It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement.

HOW DOES KETAMINE FEEL?

The effects of ketamine, which most patients find pleasant, last for approximately 45 minutes. These effects can make you feel “far from” your body, and facilitate shifts in perception that can often feel expansive in nature. Your motor and verbal abilities will be reduced, so you’ll be lying down in a comfortable position during the experience. Once these effects subside, we’ll spend the remainder of our appointment giving you space to process and discuss your experience. While it may feel hard to articulate what happens during the experience, patients feel like the insights gained are clear.
