Ketamine Assisted Therapy in Austin Texas
Ketamine Assisted Therapy in Austin Texas
I offer in-person ketamine-assisted therapy in collaboration with Illumma, providing a structured and supportive environment for deep, transformative healing. Ketamine has been shown to rapidly alleviate symptoms of depression, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress, offering relief when traditional treatments have not been effective. Whether you're exploring sublingual, intramuscular (IM), or intravenous (IV) ketamine treatments, I work alongside Illumma’s experienced medical team to ensure that your experience is thoughtfully guided, both medically and therapeutically. My role is to help you prepare for your journey, provide support during your sessions, and assist you in integrating insights afterward—allowing you to create lasting change and emotional resilience.
How It Works
How It Works
Ketamine-assisted therapy is a structured process designed to support healing at every stage, from preparation to integration.
Phone Consultation – Start by calling me for a brief consultation to discuss your needs and determine if ketamine-assisted therapy could be a helpful option for you.
Medical Consultation – If we decide to move forward, the medical team will schedule an appointment to assess your eligibility and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Preparation Sessions – I guide you through intentional preparation to help clarify your intentions, reduce anxiety, and support you in getting ready for your ketamine experience.
Ketamine Sessions – You receive your ketamine treatment under the care of the medical team, with my therapeutic support to help create a supportive environment.
Therapeutic Integration – After each ketamine infusion, we work together to process insights, integrate healing, and support your continued growth.
Why Choose Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?
Why Choose Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?
While some may consider using ketamine on their own, therapeutic support makes a significant difference in how you process and integrate your experience. Here’s why working with a trained therapist is a better approach:
✔ Guided Preparation – Before your session, I help you set clear intentions and prepare emotionally, mentally, and physically for the experience. This helps reduce anxiety and creates a more meaningful experience.
✔ Safe & Supportive Environment – During your session, both the medical team and I are present to support your physical and emotional well-being. Having professional support allows you to fully immerse in the process without worry.
✔ Deeper Integration – The insights gained during ketamine sessions can be profound but may feel disjointed without guidance. I help you make sense of your experience, connect the dots, and apply these insights to real-life healing.
✔ Sustainable Healing – Without proper integration, ketamine’s benefits can be temporary. With structured therapy, we work to solidify breakthroughs, address underlying patterns, and create long-lasting change.
Ketamine is more than just a chemical experience—it’s a therapeutic journey that, when done with the right support, can lead to deep transformation and healing.
