We are excited to announce we are providing Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in-office at STG. Through our partnership with AyaFusion Wellness, we are using sublingual ketamine to support clients with persistent depression, anxiety, those who are healing from trauma and other mental health conditions. 

 

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used safely and extensively since FDA approval in 1970. Ketamine is included on the WHO list of essential medications, due to its wide margin of safety across all age groups.

 

While IV Ketamine has been used for two decades to treat folks with suicidal thoughts and treatment resistant depression, sublingual ketamine shows promising results for others who may be feeling stuck in their mental health journey at significantly reduced cost.

 

How does Ketamine work?

 

Ketamine decreases hyperconnectivity within the Default Mode Network and induces neuroplasticity. These two actions offer a reduction in habitual thinking and feeling patterns while inducing a window of opportunity to learn new techniques and make new connections to support a reduction in symptoms. 

 

This is why we feel strongly about pairing Ketamine treatment with psychotherapy. Appropriate preparation and integration can optimize psychotherapeutic benefits which often can feel slow and challenging for those with a chronic mental health concern. 

 

We tailor ketamine treatment schedules to each individual client. All clients will receive a medical and mental health evaluation, preparation sessions and integration sessions along with their ketamine treatment sessions. Using Ketamine in this context can lengthen the period of time needed between treatment sessions. 

 

We work closely with your existing therapist to provide consultation and any other support that may be needed throughout treatment to continue to integrate your experience and make the most out of your Ketamine therapy.
