Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) is a groundbreaking treatment that combines the therapeutic benefits of ketamine with psychotherapy to address various mental health conditions. Ketamine, a medication traditionally used for anesthesia, has been found to have rapid-acting antidepressant effects, making it an effective option for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders.
During Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, clients receive carefully controlled doses of ketamine under the supervision of our trained medical professionals. The experience is guided by a licensed therapist who helps patients navigate their thoughts and emotions in a safe and supportive environment. The goal is to enhance the therapeutic process, promote deep introspection, and facilitate healing.
Many clients experience significant improvement in their symptoms within hours or days, compared to the weeks or months it often takes for traditional antidepressants to take effect.
The altered state of consciousness induced by ketamine can help patients access and process difficult emotions and traumatic experiences more effectively.
While the immediate effects of ketamine are temporary, the therapeutic insights gained during sessions can lead to lasting improvements in mental health.
