What is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?

Ketamine-assisted therapy combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine with professional medical and therapeutic support before, during, and after treatment. Research suggests ketamine may help create opportunities for greater reflection, emotional processing, psychological flexibility, and therapeutic engagement. When combined with careful assessment, preparation, and integration, these experiences may help support meaningful and lasting change. Treatment sessions take place in a calm, supportive, medically supervised environment designed to help clients feel safe, prepared, and cared for throughout the experience. Carefully selected music, physician oversight, and experienced staff help create an environment that supports both safety and reflection. 

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a synthetic pharmaceutical compound approved by the FDA over 50 years ago. Ketamine is classified as a dissociative anesthetic and holds some psychedelic properties. Ketamine is widely used in modern emergency and veterinary medicine. Over the past 20 years ‘off-label’ clinical ketamine usage has been steadily increasing for various health related conditions such as depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, complex trauma, post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, compulsions, eating disorders and suicidality. Ketamine is considered a safe and effective treatment option for many people.
