Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and clinical addictions specialist. I'm a trauma-competent clinician who has received training in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and is currently pursuing certification in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I have 10 years of experience working with a wide range of client populations and diagnoses in mental health and substance abuse settings.
What is KAP?
Ketamine assisted psychotherapy combines the benefits of ketamine infusions and psychotherapy to enhance results and obtain longer periods of relief from mental health symptoms.
How do these two things work together?
Individualized and tailored ketamine infusions provide rapid relief of symptoms by stimulating improvement in brain communication pathways, increasing plasticity in the brain, decreasing inflammation, and increasing high functioning brain states. These changes in the brain help disrupt rigid, maladaptive thoughts, behaviors and disturbing memories that contribute to symptoms of mental health disorders. Appropriately timed psychotherapy sessions to address underlying emotional trauma takes advantage of the changes that ketamine infusions cause in the brain. Therapy sessions help incorporate the ketamine experience into everyday life. This can help integrate new relationship templates, new patterns of thinking and feeling, and support new behaviors and beliefs.
I provide ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with Restoring Wellness Solutions. I work with the owner and founder, Anna Plummer-Roberts, MSN, CRNA, to coordinate care based on peer-reviewed scientific evidence and KAP protocol.
