I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for people who struggle with depression, old or recent trauma, or for those who are curious about how this medicine might be useful for them.
Ketamine treatment is tailored to each person's particular needs. Number and cadence of treatments, as well as dose and route of administration (oral lozenge and/or intramuscular (IM) injection) will vary person to person.
Preparation, mindset and setting are all critical to a beneficial ketamine experience, so I make sure all those ingredients are in place when I work with you. In my experience, those who get most out of ketamine treatment are those who already have a therapist and are looking for a way to augment, deepen, or shift the work they are doing in psychotherapy.
Do not assume that if you are postpartum and breastfeeding that you can't have ketamine treatment. Ketamine can be a useful intervention postpartum for depression, obsessive thinking patterns, trauma, loss, or struggles with role transition. Of note, these uses of ketamine are all considered “off-label” at the current time.
Ketamine treatment begins with a consultation.
The Kriya Ketamine Research Institute is a good resource for ketamine information. I subscribe to the ethical guidelines here.
