Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is a holistic approach to therapy that uses ketamine to treat symptoms and help individuals work through mental and emotional challenges. Many have found that KAP led to therapeutic breakthroughs at an exponentially faster rate than traditional talk therapy, and it’s helped people uncover repressed memories, face previously unbearable emotions, and even find the purpose they have been searching for.
-
Brain based therapy is helpful for trauma-related issues, as it can often avoid the need for the client to have to talk about the trauma story itself, and helps in treating anxiety, depression, attachment issues, and PTSD. It incorporates neuroscience with attachment theory to help clients rewire their brains to improve their moods and effectively change their behaviors.
-
Educational, behavioral, and emotional assessments are an offered service that looks at areas of family, school, peer, and authority relationship incongruence to determine if presenting concerns fall within the criteria of specific disorders. Therapists are able to build clear and evidenced reports to families and individuals looking for educational, behavioral, and emotional support.
