What Sets Us Apart? Psychotherapy and Integration
We don’t just administer ketamine; we ensure it is part of a comprehensive healing process by integrating psychotherapy into your care. Research shows that combining ketamine infusions with therapy enhances long-term outcomes and helps clients process their experiences more deeply. Here’s how we differentiate our services:
-
Preparation Sessions
Before starting ketamine therapy, clients work with our therapists to set clear intentions and goals for their treatment. This creates a safe mental and emotional foundation, preparing clients to fully engage with the healing process. -
Integration Psychotherapy
After each ketamine infusion, clients participate in integration sessions using Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, a proven approach to processing and embedding insights gained during ketamine treatment. IFS helps clients connect with their inner parts, heal past wounds, and create lasting emotional resilience. -
Best Practices and Research-Based Protocols
Our integration of ketamine with psychotherapy aligns with the latest research and best practices in the field, ensuring clients receive evidence-based care that supports long-term healing. By addressing both the biological and emotional aspects of mental health, we help clients achieve deeper, more sustainable results.

What is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine, originally used as an anesthetic, is now recognized as a powerful tool for mental health. In low doses, ketamine helps repair and rewire the brain, making it especially effective for individuals whose conditions have not improved with traditional treatments. Administered through a safe and relaxing IV infusion, ketamine provides quick relief and starts the healing process.
Take the First Step Toward Healing
If you’ve been searching for new answers to depression, anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain, Ketamine Infusion Therapy with psychotherapy integration could be the breakthrough you need.

How Ketamine Works in the Brain
Ketamine takes a unique approach to healing by targeting the brain’s pathways in a way that traditional antidepressants cannot.
-
Stimulates Brain Growth
Ketamine boosts glutamate, the brain’s most abundant neurotransmitter, which supports the creation of new neural connections. This strengthens the brain’s ability to regulate mood and emotions. -
Resets the Stress Response
Ketamine calms overactive stress pathways, helping reduce feelings of anxiety, fear, and overwhelm. -
Breaks Negative Thought Patterns
By disrupting cycles of negative thinking often seen in depression and PTSD, ketamine opens the door to hope and new perspectives. -
Provides Rapid Relief
Unlike traditional treatments that may take weeks to show effects, ketamine often brings noticeable relief within hours to days after treatment.
Benefits of Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Research and clinical studies highlight the many ways ketamine can transform mental health:
-
Relief From Treatment-Resistant Depression
Ketamine offers new hope for those who haven’t found success with traditional therapies, helping to improve mood and reduce symptoms. -
Reduced Anxiety and PTSD Symptoms
Ketamine’s calming effects on the nervous system make it a powerful tool for addressing trauma and anxiety disorders. -
Chronic Pain Management
Ketamine’s unique properties also make it effective for managing chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia and neuropathy. -
Improved Emotional Resilience
By healing damaged brain pathways, ketamine supports long-term emotional stability and balance. -
Rapid Reduction in Suicidal Thoughts
Studies show ketamine can quickly reduce suicidal ideation, providing immediate support for those in crisis.
