Ketamine & its potential benefits
Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAT) is an innovative and promising mental health treatment that utilizes ketamine’s unique ability to induce an altered state of consciousness, freeing the mind from ingrained constructs and alleviate pain, allowing individuals to explore and process difficult emotions and memories in a safe and supportive environment.
Tired of treatments that just manage symptoms? KAT helps you heal from the bottom up, addressing root causes of mental health challenges. By combining the remarkable properties of ketamine with skilled therapy, you can access thoughts, emotions, and memories that may have felt out of reach in traditional talk therapy, allowing for deeper levels of healing.

- Effective for resistant cases: Particularly helpful for those unresponsive to traditional treatments
- Enhances therapy: Deepens therapeutic experiences, aiding emotional processing
- Promotes neuroplasticity: Encourages new neural connections, potentially improving long-term mental health

Treatment Paths
KAT Psychedelic
A psychedelic dose involves the administration ketamine via intramuscular injection or oral, inducing an altered state of consciousness. During this experience, you will be reclining with eye shades and listening to carefully selected music, while the ketamine facilitates the activation of various neural pathways, allowing for a distinct internal experience. As ketamine is a dissociative agent, you may experience a degree of disconnection, which can provide a novel perspective on your self-awareness and internal processes.
KAT Psycholytic
A psycholytic dose is a lower dose of ketamine, administered sublingual or oral, that allows you to experience a non-ordinary state of consciousness while also able to stay in the present moment and consciously process with your therapist. This allows you to step away from your ingrained defenses to access and address material that may have been too challenging to face in traditional therapy, allowing you the space to safely observe and process this material.
CoCare™ Program
If you are currently working with a psychedelic-informed therapist and are interested in exploring our Ketamine-Assisted Therapy services, we encourage you to have your therapist contact us about our CoCare™ program, or you can book an information call to learn more.

Combining Ketamine Assisted Therapy & rTMS
The integration of Ketamine Assisted Therapy with repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) has real potential to improve therapeutic outcomes. Early studies show these two treatment options to be complementary and synergistic.
rTMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It’s particularly effective for treatment-resistant depression and can help in modulating brain activity, providing long-lasting relief.
Some of the benefits of this combination include:
- Enhanced Efficacy: The rapid effects of ketamine may complement the longer-term benefits of rTMS.
- Synergistic Effects: Ketamine may prime the brain to respond better to rTMS, enhancing neuroplasticity and setting you up for lasting changes.
- Comprehensive Approach: Addressing both chemical and neural pathway aspects of mental health conditions can lead to more holistic treatment outcomes.
Although initial results are promising, further studies are needed to fully understand the benefits and any potential risks of combining these therapies.

At our practice, clients determine the starting point of their therapeutic journey. We generally recommend beginning with the least intensive treatment level suitable for their current mental health status and daily functioning. As we collaborate closely with each client, we continually assess their progress and response to treatment. This allows us to gradually increase the intensity of care as needed, ensuring a personalized and effective path to mental health recovery.
