Ketamine Therapy

Unlock Healing and Renew Your Mind with Ketamine Therapy

What is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic, which means it can induce a state of relaxation and detachment from

one's surroundings. However, in the context of therapy, it is used at much lower doses than those used for

anesthesia. One of the unique aspects of ketamine is its ability to produce profound changes in perception,

thoughts, and emotions. It can create a sense of mental clarity and openness, allowing you to explore your

inner experiences and emotions in a therapeutic environment. IV ketamine assisted therapy has shown

promise in helping individuals with a range of mental health “conditions” including treatment-resistant

depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and some chronic pain conditions. Many of my clients don’t carry a “diagnosis” yet have voiced profound life-changing experiences.

What is Ketamine Therapy so effective?

Ketamine therapy is considered highly effective because it works differently from traditional antidepressants and pain medications. It primarily targets the NMDA receptors in the brain, which play a crucial role in pain perception, mood regulation, and cognitive function. By modulating these receptors, ketamine rapidly increases the release of glutamate, a neurotransmitter that helps rebuild and strengthen neural connections, leading to improved mood, reduced symptoms of depression, and enhanced pain relief.

Additionally, ketamine’s ability to create a dissociative effect can help "reset" negative thought patterns, providing a fresh perspective and alleviating symptoms in conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Its rapid action, often within hours or days, sets it apart from traditional treatments, which can take weeks or even months to show effects.

What are the benefits of Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine therapy offers several benefits, particularly for those struggling with mental health conditions and chronic pain that have been resistant to traditional treatments:

​

​Rapid Relief from Depression and Anxiety​

​

  • Unlike conventional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, ketamine can provide rapid relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety, often within hours or days.

​​

Effective for Treatment-Resistant Conditions

​

  • Ketamine has shown effectiveness in patients with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder, offering hope when other therapies have failed.

​

Chronic Pain Management

​

  • Ketamine can help reduce chronic pain conditions, including neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), by interrupting pain signals in the nervous system.

​​

Reduction in Suicidal Thoughts

  • Ketamine has been found to significantly reduce suicidal ideation, making it a valuable option for individuals in acute mental health crises.

​​

Neuroplasticity and Brain Rewiring

  • Ketamine promotes the growth of new neural connections, enhancing neuroplasticity, which helps in "rewiring" the brain to develop healthier thought patterns and emotional responses.

​​

Minimal Side Effects

  • When administered in controlled, clinical settings, ketamine therapy is generally well-tolerated, with minimal and short-lived side effects compared to traditional antidepressants and pain medications.

​​

Improvement in Overall Quality of Life

  • By alleviating severe symptoms of mental health disorders and chronic pain, ketamine therapy can improve overall quality of life, increasing functionality, mood, and day-to-day well-being.
