Understanding the Treatment
What Is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?
Ketamine-assisted therapy (KAT) combines a low, medically supervised dose of ketamine with guided psychotherapy. Ketamine has been used safely in medicine for decades, and at therapeutic doses it can quiet the repetitive thought loops that keep people stuck, creating a calmer, more spacious state of mind where difficult memories and emotions become easier to approach.
Unlike daily medications that can take weeks to work, ketamine acts on the brain’s glutamate system and encourages neuroplasticity, the brain’s natural ability to form new connections. In the days following a session, fresh perspectives can take root more easily. Therapy is what helps you use that window well, turning insight into practical, lasting change.
Our work is grounded in the belief that every person carries an inner healing intelligence. The medicine doesn’t do the healing for you; it helps clear the path so your own capacity for growth can lead the way.
A Window for Neuroplasticity
Research suggests ketamine can promote the growth of new neural connections within hours of a session. Pairing that biological shift with skilled, compassionate therapy is what sets ketamine-assisted therapy apart from medication alone.
Rapid, Meaningful Relief
Many clients notice a lift in mood or a loosening of old patterns after their first sessions, which can rebuild hope while deeper therapeutic work continues.
Who We Help
Conditions Ketamine Therapy Can Help Address
Ketamine-assisted therapy is not a cure-all, but for many Washington adults who have tried other treatments without enough relief, it offers a genuinely different starting point. These are the concerns we most often help clients work through.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
If antidepressants and talk therapy haven’t brought the relief you hoped for, ketamine works through a different pathway that can lift heaviness and restore a sense of possibility.
Trauma & PTSD
Ketamine can soften the body’s alarm response, making it feel safer to revisit painful experiences alongside a trusted therapist and finally begin to process them.
Anxiety
For persistent worry and a nervous system stuck on high alert, sessions can create a sense of calm and helpful distance from anxious thought patterns.
Grief & Loss
Loss can leave us frozen in place. KAT offers a gentle space to honor what was lost, release what feels stuck, and reconnect with meaning.
Ways to Begin
Three Paths to Ketamine Therapy in Washington
Choose the format that fits your needs, comfort, and lifestyle. Every path includes medical and mental health screening, preparation sessions, and integration therapy, so you never navigate the experience alone.
In-Clinic Sessions
Rest in a calm, thoughtfully prepared treatment room with both a medical provider and a therapist present. Medicine is given by intramuscular injection or sublingual lozenge, and sessions last roughly 90 minutes to two hours, closing with a debrief and a final wellness check.
At-Home Program
For those who heal best in familiar surroundings, the at-home program includes a personalized sublingual ketamine prescription, health coaching, scheduled integration sessions, and ongoing progress tracking to keep your care on course.
10-Week KAT Group
Healing in community can be powerful. This structured ten-week journey, led by our clinical and medical team, blends shared preparation, medicine sessions, and group integration with others walking a similar path.
Your Journey
How Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Works, Step by Step
01 · Connect
Start with two evaluations: a clinical assessment of your mental health history and goals with our therapist, and a medical review of your health, medications, and records with our medical director.
02 · Prepare
Before any medicine session, we build trust, clarify your intentions, and talk openly through questions or hesitations so you arrive feeling grounded and ready.
03 · Experience
Your ketamine session happens in-clinic or at home with structured support. In-clinic visits wrap up with a debrief and a final physical check before you head home.
04 · Integrate
Afterward, we help you make sense of what surfaced and carry those insights into daily life, planning next steps together that support lasting change.
Our Approach
Why Integration Is the Heart of Healing
The hours and days after a ketamine session are a uniquely open period. Because the medicine encourages neuroplasticity, this is when new habits, beliefs, and ways of relating can take hold more easily. Integration therapy gives that openness direction.
In integration sessions, we gently explore the imagery, emotions, and realizations that arose, connect them to your everyday relationships and routines, and identify small, concrete steps forward. Without integration, powerful experiences can fade; with it, they become the foundation for meaningful, durable change.
Holistic
We care for mind, body, and spirit together, not symptoms in isolation.
Collaborative
You are a partner in every decision, from intentions to next steps.
Personalized
Your dosing, format, and pacing are shaped around your history and goals.
Evidence-Based
Grounded in current research, practical, and experiential by design.
Experienced Care
A Licensed Clinical and Medical Team
Safe ketamine therapy requires two kinds of expertise working side by side. Our therapist and medical provider collaborate on every client’s care from the first conversation through integration.
Clinical Director, LMFT
Our clinical director is a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than two decades of experience, specially trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic integration. She leads your diagnostic assessment, preparation, and integration work.
Medical Director, ARNP
Our medical director is an advanced registered nurse practitioner with fifteen years in emergency medicine and several years in private practice. She oversees medical exams, medication administration, and your safety throughout every session.
Ongoing Support
Join Our Virtual Integration Community
Integration doesn’t have to end when your treatment does. Our monthly virtual integration circles welcome anyone in the community who has had a psychedelic or expanded-state experience, whether with us or elsewhere. Gather online, share reflections in a supportive space, and learn practical tools for carrying your insights forward.
Monthly · Online · Sliding Scale
Groups meet once a month by video, with a sliding-scale fee of $40 to $80 so support stays accessible to everyone.
Questions & Answers
Ketamine Therapy FAQs
What is ketamine-assisted therapy?
Ketamine-assisted therapy pairs a carefully dosed, medically supervised ketamine session with psychotherapy before and after. The medicine can create an open, less defended state of mind, and the therapy helps you explore and make lasting use of what emerges.
Who is a good candidate for ketamine therapy?
Adults living with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, or complicated grief may benefit. A thorough medical and mental health screening helps us confirm that ketamine is safe and appropriate for you; some health conditions call for a different approach.
What happens during an in-clinic session?
You’ll settle into a comfortable, quiet room with a medical provider and therapist present. Ketamine is given by intramuscular injection or sublingual lozenge, and the experience typically lasts 90 minutes to two hours. Afterward, we debrief together and complete a brief physical check before you leave with a support person.
Can I do ketamine therapy at home?
Yes. For eligible clients, our at-home program provides a personalized sublingual ketamine prescription along with health coaching, integration sessions, and progress tracking, so you receive structured guidance even outside the clinic.
Why does integration matter so much?
Ketamine’s neuroplastic effects create a period when the brain is especially open to change. Integration therapy helps you translate insights into new habits and perspectives during that window, which is what turns a meaningful session into lasting progress.
