Why Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in Summit County, CO?
​
You may have tried talk therapy in the past and now feel stuck.
You may be looking for a different approach to heal difficult feelings or trauma.
Or, you may be ready to re-program old stories and beliefs and move past what holds you back from the life you truly deserve.
Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, is a form of therapy. It helps help people go deeper into their experiences and heal at a subconscious level. Doing so often creates deeper longer-lasting change.
Ketamine is a safe, legal medicine that can induce psychedelic states in a gentle way. Ketamine is a dissociative. This means it creates a sense of safety and distance from otherwise potentially disturbing experiences. These are often avoided or feel overwhelming in a normal talk therapy session.
How Does Ketamine Therapy in Summit County, CO Work?
The standard treatment plan for ketamine-assisted therapy includes a preparation phase. This consists of at least 3 individual sessions (“dry sessions”, or sessions without the medicine). Then, a mandatory medical consultation with my prescribing nurse or physician. From there, the client will complete a series of 2-4 sessions per month using ketamine. These sessions are followed by or accompanied by integration sessions. These help process and integrate the therapeutic experiences that take place during the medicine sessions.
Preparation and integration sessions will be scheduled for 50 minutes. Medicine sessions will be scheduled for two hours. These will include a few minutes of checking in at the beginning of the session. After a brief check-in, the client will self-administer ketamine as a sublingual lozenge. Ketamine takes around 10 minutes to dissolve. At this point, clients will experience relaxation and some pleasant body sensations. Clients will then lay down in a relaxing experience along with music, blankets, and an eye mask.
The modality that I use makes use of ketamine at a low dose. This is to provide a gentle setting that allows the client to focus on their internal experiences. During this time, I provide support and gently guide the process.
We use ketamine assisted therapy to help heal many issues including:
​
Eating disorders/disordered eating
Chronic worry or fear
Sexual assault and abuse
Codependency
Low self-esteem
Existentialism
Will I be overwhelmed or feel unsafe?
Ketamine is very safe when used in sessions with a licensed therapist.
You may experience some uncomfortable or difficult memories or issues in session, like with traditional talk therapy. But, medicine often makes it easier to face these difficult memories or issues. This occurs by creating a sense of distance from otherwise disturbing content.

Through an open, honest therapeutic relationship, I can help you overcome the barriers to joy and connection.
​
I am excited about the new ways we are learning to heal and enhance our mental health via the safe use of medicines and experiential therapy. As a practitioner of Ketamine assisted therapy, I have had the chance to see this type of therapy firsthand. I would be happy to guide you through your treatment with a deep knowledge of how this medicine works.
