Each and every of our services are curated and personalized for you as an individual. The services that we provide are ones that we are most passionate about and truly enjoy when working with clients. This means you get 100% of our focus, energy, experience and passion to support you in achieving your goals.
We offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which Ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible clients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. Sara and Teresa take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical’s medical team supports you on all medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes.
Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly-acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hrs. after treatment and last for up to 2 weeks. It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement.
Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, via nasal spray and using sublingual lozenges.
In our work with Journey Clinical we only use the sublingual lozenge form. You will hold the lozenge under your tongue, then spit it out and feel the effects.
The effects of Ketamine, which most clients find pleasant, last for approximately 45 minutes. These effects can make you feel “far from” your body, and facilitate shifts in perception that can often feel expansive in nature. Your motor and verbal abilities will be reduced, so you’ll be lying down in a comfortable position during the experience. Once these effects subsided, we’ll spend the remainder of our appointment giving you space to process and discuss your experience.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is an affordable, accessible modality. Although the medical intake, psychotherapy sessions and follow ups are not covered by insurance, they are eligible for out-of-network reimbursement.
Using low-dose Ketamine with couples work has the powerful potential to create deeper and more rapid growth and healing for those couples who have been gridlocked for some time. Sometimes described as a “lubricant” for the release of defensiveness and anxiety, Ketamine is a tool that can provide a stepping stone toward shifts that might otherwise take years to achieve.
KAP allows partners to support one another through a transformative healing process that can interrupt negative reactive patterns, eliminate gridlock, increase personal accountability, and enhance emotional and sexual intimacy in their partnership.
Through KAP, couples can learn to navigate the complex, vulnerable, and transformative terrain of emotional and sexual intimacy issues.
Journey Clinical is a platform for licensed psychotherapists to incorporate science-based psychedelic therapies in their practice safely and effectively, starting with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Journey Clinical’s in-house medical team takes on patient eligibility, prescriptions and outcome monitoring, while I take on the therapy. Their collaborative care model is designed to deliver personalized treatment plans to meet your individual needs and improve long-term outcomes.
Teresa and Sara are fully licensed, EMDRIA certified and experienced EMDR therapists. We offer intensive EMDR sessions for those who are seeking to heal from past trauma, those who have experienced a recent traumatic event and individuals desiring quicker relief than traditional 60 min counseling sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. EMDR therapy has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress.
Trauma recovery does not only impact the individual, it impact their entire system. Often loved ones want to support, hold space and be "the rock" for their person but at times that can be quite challenging. Trauma recovery is not linear or a consistent upward trajectory, there are a lot of twists, turns, ups and downs along the way that loved ones experience as well.
Teresa provides education, support and connection consultation sessions for the individual and their partner and/or loved ones. We will spend time learning the neuro-science behind trauma (in non-sciency terms), developing clear expectations and action planning for partners to navigate this time together. Knowledge is power - insight about trauma, EMDR and trauma recovery creates a more connected and collaborative space enhancing the relationship as a whole (oh, and also secure attachment heals trauma too).
Cost: $250 for 2 hour consultation session
