How Does Ketamine Help?
Ketamine therapy has been scientifically proven to promote neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to adapt and rewire itself. This process can lead to positive changes in key areas that contribute to depression and anxiety, including:
Mood Regulation – Supporting emotional balance and resilience.
Stress Reduction – Lowering cortisol levels and improving response to daily stressors.
Shifting Negative Thought Patterns – Easing self-criticism and intrusive thoughts.
Enhancing Coping Strategies – Encouraging healthier ways of managing emotions.
Extensive research highlights ketamine's effectiveness in alleviating symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, as well as anxiety, panic disorders, and trauma-related conditions. Many individuals also report a profound sense of well-being and emotional clarity after ketamine sessions.

Who is Ketamine Therapy for?
Ketamine treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions has shown exceptional results in alleviating symptoms.
A ketamine therapy session can provide rapid relief and a deeper therapeutic experience compared to traditional talk therapy alone and is especially useful for people who have not found alleviation through conventional therapy or medication.
In the care of a trusted therapist, ketamine psychedelic therapy is a great way to experience both somatic and psychological healing from symptoms.

How does Ketamine Therapy feel?
The effect of ketamine can be described as a state of “light trance.” The choice of dose will depend on prior exposure to ketamine and other psychedelics, body weight and sensitivity. Individuals experienced with psychedelics may receive a higher initial dose.
Relaxation from ordinary concerns while maintaining conscious awareness under the influence of ketamine is characteristic. This tends to lead to a disruption of negative feelings and obsessional preoccupations.
You might experience a bodily sensation of relaxation and heaviness and feel a deep connection to the music being played. Your group leaders will remain in the room with you throughout the session and might ask guiding questions to help deepen your experience.
After coming out of the ketamine journey, some people experience a relaxation of their protectors, or defenses, that usually block them from participating in therapeutic work. Since you most likely will have a relationship with your facilitators and group members already, this is a great time to do some deeper healing.
