WHAT TO EXPECT: SIDE EFFECTS OF KETAMINE THERAPY
Considering ketamine therapy? Learn about some of the side effects you might experience during and after your sessions. This brief guide walks you through what to expect, how our team keeps you comfortable, and when to reach out for support. Most side effects are mild and temporary, and we're here to help you feel prepared and confident on your healing journey.
UNDERSTANDING KETAMINE THERAPY: A GENTLE PATH TO HEALING
Ketamine therapy is an innovative mental health treatment that works by helping your brain create new neural pathways. Used safely in medical settings for decades, ketamine offers hope when other treatments haven't provided relief. This gentle approach allows you to access deeper healing while remaining conscious and supported throughout your session, creating lasting positive changes in how you think and feel.
THE BEAUTIFUL PARADOX OF GROUP HEALING: WHY WHAT SCARES YOU MOST MIGHT BE WHAT HEALS YOU
The beautiful paradox of group healing is this: what scares you most might be exactly what heals you. Those fears about being vulnerable in front of strangers while on ketamine? Everyone in our groups has had those exact thoughts. But when you realize that your struggles aren't unique character flaws but shared human experiences, something profound shifts. The very fear you have about being seen and known by others might be pointing you toward what you need most: authentic connection with people who truly understand your journey.
WHY WE DON’T ASK FOR OR RESPOND TO GOOGLE REVIEWS (…AND WHY THAT’S ACTUALLY BETTER FOR YOU)
Mental health treatment carries unique privacy considerations that make traditional reviews problematic. When someone is in the vulnerable state that ketamine therapy requires, reducing profound therapeutic moments to star ratings feels insufficient. Your healing journey is too personal to be distilled into online ratings—and your privacy should never be compromised for digital reputation.
BEYOND THE IV: WHY KETAMINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY OFFERS A SUPERIOR HEALING EXPERIENCE
When people hear 'ketamine therapy,' many immediately think of IV infusion centers. But here's what they don't tell you: the route of administration matters far less than the therapeutic environment and professional support surrounding your treatment. The real difference isn't in how the medication is delivered—it's in everything that happens around it. Ketamine assisted psychotherapy offers something fundamentally different: skilled guidance, intentional healing environments, and the kind of integration support that creates lasting change rather than temporary relief
Ketamine Therapy for Couples: Deepening Connection and Healing Together When Traditional Approaches Haven't Been Enough
Traditional couples therapy sometimes falls short when partners are too defensive, emotionally shut down, or trapped in rigid patterns to access genuine vulnerability. Ketamine-assisted couples therapy offers a unique solution: the medication temporarily reduces defensiveness while enhancing empathy and emotional openness, creating space for the kind of authentic communication that transforms relationships. It's not a magic fix, but rather a tool that helps couples access states of connection and understanding that may feel impossible in ordinary consciousness—especially when old wounds and defensive patterns are deeply entrenched.
THE ART OF MINDFUL KETAMINE THERAPY SCHEDULING
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy isn't traditional therapy, and it shouldn't be scheduled like it either. During ketamine sessions, your brain becomes remarkably open to change—but that same plasticity means whatever state you're in when the effects wear off can get reinforced. This is why mindful scheduling matters: when you honor your sessions with thoughtful planning, you're creating sacred space for transformation to actually take hold, rather than getting immediately swept away by the chaos of daily life
