The science and art of psychedelic medicine

We partner with Soul Development Center, whose therapists are experts in working with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and depression – as well as being trained specifically in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. This innovative approach has shown promising results in treating various mental health issues, offering rapid relief and a new pathway to healing.

A thoughtful process…

An SDC therapist will guide you through the entire process of working with ketamine in a supportive, therapeutic container.

The typical course includes at least two preparation sessions, then a series of ketamine ‘journey’ sessions every week or two for 3-6 weeks. 

During each journey, your KAP therapist will sit with you during your journey and remain with you in the hour that follows to help you integrate the experience. 

Additional standard therapy sessions will be provided in-between each journey to provide continuous support along your healing path. Some additional therapy sessions typically follow the series of journeys if on-going support is needed.

How does it work?

• The Session: You’ll work directly with a skilled therapist who guides you through the ketamine experience as it unfolds.
• Breaking Negative Loops: Ketamine temporarily quiets the default mode network (DMN) — the part of your brain linked to self-critical thoughts and constant worry. By disrupting these cycles of overthinking and rumination, ketamine creates space for clarity and relief.
• Restoring Brain Functionality: Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors, which helps reduce the overactivity in brain regions associated with anxiety and depression. This triggers a release of glutamate, enhancing neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form healthier connections.
• Real-Time Insight: During this safe, medically supervised session, ketamine enhances your ability to explore and process emotions without the usual mental barriers.
• Lasting Change: Together, we’ll help you turn these breakthroughs into the foundation for meaningful and lasting growth.

Studies show that Ketamine therapy alongside psychotherapy with a KAP-trained therapist, intensively over a course of 4-6 weeks, along with lifestyle changes and Integration activities, especially in patients with a severe symptom burden (higher rates of depression, suicidality, history of psychiatric hospitalization, and higher ACE (Trauma) Score showed statistically significant improvements as measured by anxiety scores, well-being scores, depression, PTSD, drug and alcohol use scores.

Results from studies of Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD), showed that after a single session of IV treatment investigators noted remission of TRD and a reduction in suicidality.
