Ketamine-Assisted Therapy: A Transformative Approach to Mental Health
At Wholesome Psychology, we are thrilled to partner with The Sitting Room and NeuroMed to offer Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, an innovative treatment designed to support individuals in their mental health journey. This therapeutic approach combines the use of Ketamine with personalized psychotherapy sessions, helping clients to achieve rapid relief from symptoms that may not have responded to traditional treatments.
What is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is a holistic and cutting-edge treatment where the carefully monitored use of Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, is paired with therapeutic counseling. This combination allows for deeper introspection and emotional processing, helping clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, addiction, and mood disorders.
One of the key advantages of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is its ability to provide fast results. Unlike traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to show effects, many clients experience significant improvements in mood and emotional well-being within hours of their first session. This rapid response can be especially helpful for individuals who have not found success with conventional treatments.
How Does Ketamine Therapy Work?
Ketamine is administered in a controlled, safe environment at The Sitting Room, under the supervision of highly trained professionals. The therapy is provided in a tablet form that dissolves under the tongue—no needles, injections, or nasal sprays are used. Clients are carefully monitored throughout the entire session to ensure their safety and well-being.
Before starting treatment, clients are assessed and screened by Dr. Krista Leicht, the Medical Director at The Sitting Room, to determine if Ketamine is an appropriate option for them. This ensures that the therapy is tailored to your specific needs and circumstances. Each session is designed to support your unique journey to healing and personal growth.
Personalized and Flexible Treatment
We understand that each person’s mental health journey is different. That’s why The Sitting Room works with you to create a treatment plan that fits your individual needs and goals. You are not required to commit to multiple sessions upfront. We encourage you to try one session, and, based on the assessment and your experience, you can decide if Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is the right fit for you.
While some clients experience relief after just one session, others may need three to six sessions to see lasting results. After that, a maintenance schedule can be developed, depending on your needs.
Pairing Ketamine Therapy with Psychological Counseling
For the best outcomes, Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is most effective when combined with psychological therapy. At Wholesome Psychology, we strongly recommend scheduling sessions with one of our experienced therapists before and after your Ketamine session to integrate the therapeutic experience and maximize the benefits of the treatment.
