Ketamine Therapy for Depression, Trauma, and Anxiety
Evidence-Based Therapy That Offers Hope Beyond Traditional Treatment
A New Approach to Healing
With over 10 years of experience in Integrated Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)—a clinically proven approach for treatment-resistant conditions—our experienced clinicians use ketamine as a tool to help you find lasting change, with a compassionate approach.
What Is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?
Ketamine, when combined with professional counseling, is a process known as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). It is different from traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks or months to build up in your system. Ketamine infusion therapy rapidly encourages your brain to form new neural connections, quickly lifting the heavy fog of depression to create space for deep emotional processing.
When used by itself, ketamine offers temporary relief, but we want you to have the best chance at lasting healing. By integrating dedicated psychotherapy before, during, and after your sessions, we help you process the experience safely. We are with you every step of the way.
Who Is Ketamine Therapy For?
Ketamine therapy is designed for people who feel trapped in painful emotional patterns, even after trying multiple medications or traditional counseling. Our ketamine infusion therapy programs offer compassionate care for:
- Treatment-resistant depression
- PTSD and deep-rooted trauma
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Suicidal ideation and chronic emotional distress
- OCD and overwhelming, intrusive thoughts
- Addiction and substance abuse challenges
- Autistic individuals seeking neurodivergent-affirming care
- Mental health conditions where traditional treatments haven’t worked.

Frequently asked questions
Is ketamine therapy safe?
Yes. When administered in a clinical setting by trained medical professionals, ketamine therapy is safe and well-tolerated.
What does treatment feel like?
Many people describe the experience as a deep state of relaxation or a feeling of being slightly disconnected from their ordinary thoughts. Our team stays with you to ensure you feel secure, calm, and safe throughout the process.
How quickly does it work?
Unlike traditional medications that can take weeks, many patients notice a significant reduction in their symptoms within hours to days after their first session.
How many sessions are needed?
Healing is a personal journey, and there is no one-size-fits-all timeline. A typical initial protocol often involves several sessions over a few weeks, followed by maintenance care.
Is this only for severe depression?
While highly effective for treatment-resistant depression, ketamine therapy also provides profound relief for trauma, PTSD, severe anxiety, OCD, and addiction.
Will I still do therapy?
Yes, integrating talk therapy with your treatment is a cornerstone of our approach to ensure lasting healing.
Is ketamine addictive?
When used in a controlled, clinically supervised medical setting, the risk of addiction is incredibly low. We follow strict protocols to protect your health and well-being at all times.
Do you offer ketamine infusion therapy or psychotherapy-based care?
We offer both. Our Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy combines the medical benefits of ketamine infusion therapy with the emotional support of licensed clinical therapists.
