What if you could change your emotions by changing your mind?
I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with medical providers. KAP is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible clients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while your medical team supports you on all the medical aspects.
The body-mind connection is inextricably linked, one seamlessly influencing the other. When our brain’s neural pathways change (body) our mind changes along with it. These changes can shift our mood, outlook, thinking and understanding of our self.
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 hours after treatment. It works by blocking the brains NMDA receptions 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.
