Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is a treatment option that combines the use of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic drug, with psychotherapy techniques to address mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. This approach has been found to have rapid-acting antidepressant effects, helping patients achieve a state of mental clarity and relaxation that can facilitate the therapeutic process.
At Brain Spa, we offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy as a safe and effective treatment option for patients struggling with mental health issues. Our experienced clinicians work with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan that incorporates the use of ketamine and psychotherapy techniques tailored to their specific needs.
During the Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy session, a therapist works with the patient to address their specific mental health concerns, using psychotherapy techniques such as talk therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy. The ketamine helps to enhance the effectiveness of the therapy, allowing the patient to better engage in the process and experience deeper insights into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We prioritize patient comfort and safety, and patients are carefully monitored by our medical staff in a private and comfortable environment. We create a safe and supportive space for patients to focus on their healing journey.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is a treatment approach that combines the use of ketamine with psychotherapy, a form of therapy that helps individuals explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe and supportive environment.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy has shown promising results in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, and chronic pain.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is typically administered by a licensed healthcare provider, who will first evaluate the individual and determine if they are a good candidate for the treatment. The individual will then receive a low-dose infusion of ketamine while participating in a therapy session with a trained psychotherapist.
While ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for decades, there are potential risks and side effects associated with the treatment, such as dissociation, nausea, and increased heart rate. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider before undergoing Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.
The length of a Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy session can vary depending on the individual and their specific needs, but they typically last between 60-90 minutes.
