When combined with psychotherapy, low-dose ketamine can offer a unique and powerful therapeutic experience, particularly for clients who have not found the progress they seek through traditional talk therapy alone. This integrative approach can support deeper emotional processing, expanded perspective, and accelerate breakthroughs in the therapeutic process.
​
Low dose ketamine assisted psychotherapy can also help with performance enhancement and breaking through performance blocks. This work, called expansion work, can help high achievers reach goals that were previously out of reach.

Ketamine-assisted EMDR
Ketamine-assisted EMDR is a combined approach to trauma therapy that uses low-dose ketamine to enhance the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Ketamine can promote neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, emotional openness, and reduce anxiety which can help clients process traumatic memories more effectively during or immediately after EMDR.
How do I know if ketamine Assisted EMDR may be a good fit for me?
For individuals with complex trauma, treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety or for those who have struggled to achieve their therapeutic goals with conventional EMDR or those who wish to accelerate their therapy may benefit from ketamine-assisted EMDR.
-
Accelerated healing: The combination can speed up the healing process compared to using either therapy alone.
-
Deeper emotional access: Ketamine can help clients access deeper emotional material that was previously blocked by defense mechanisms.
-
Sustained results: Integrating new insights from the ketamine experience with the reprocessing of EMDR may lead to more lasting changes
Important considerations
Because this therapy involves a controlled substance, it requires medical supervision and is not suitable for everyone. Both the therapist and a medical provider must evaluate if the treatment is right and appropriate for you.
Ketamine-assisted Brainspotting
Ketamine-assisted brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that combines low-dose ketamine with the body-centered somatic trauma therapy known as brainspotting. In this therapy, ketamine helps reduce psychological defenses and anxiety (while promoting brain growth and development). At the same time, brainspotting provides a focused way to access, process, and release deep-seated trauma stored in the body and nervous system.
The combination of ketamine and brainspotting creates a synergistic effect that can accelerate the healing process.
​
-
Accesses deep trauma: Ketamine can help people relax, open their heart and mind, bypass blocks and defense mechanisms, allowing the body-based processing of brainspotting to reach deeper, more profound levels of trauma that may be inaccessible with talk therapy alone.
​
-
Neuroplasticity: Ketamine enhances neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to form new connections and adapt. When combined with psychotherapy, this makes the brain more receptive to new insights and behaviors, helping to rewire the brain and “lay down new tracks”.
​​
-
Somatic release: By working directly with the subcortical brain, where trauma is stored, the combination can facilitate the release of pent-up emotional and physical tension related to traumatic or upsetting life events.
​
Is it right for you?
​
This treatment is considered for individuals who may feel "stuck" in traditional therapy or have not found relief from other methods. It is often used to treat conditions such as:
​
-
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
-
Complex trauma
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Treatment-resistant mental health conditions
As with any medical treatment, ketamine-assisted brainspotting has many potential risks and is not suitable for everyone. A qualified medical and mental health professional should be consulted to determine if it is the right treatment for your needs and goals.
Ketamine-assisted IFS
​
Ketamine-assisted IFS is a therapeutic approach that combines low-dose ketamine with the therapeutic framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. It is an innovative treatment for conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD, which can be resistant to traditional therapies. In this combo, ketamine helps to relax and open the psyche, allowing clients to engage with their "parts" in a new and often deep way.
Benefits of combining IFS and ketamine:
-
Deepens access to the subconscious and access to parts
-
Enhances introspection and self-awareness and body perception
-
Addresses treatment-resistant issues
-
Can promote profound change in the internal system
