Yes, ketamine therapy is considered safe when administered by a qualified professional in a controlled setting. It has been extensively studied and is used in medical and therapeutic contexts to treat severe mental health conditions.

During a ketamine assisted psychotherapy session, you will be in a completely safe and comfortable environment. You will receive a dose of ketamine, and then engage in therapeutic conversations to process emotions and experiences. I will guide you throughout the entire session.

The number of sessions varies from person to person. Some people experience significant relief after a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment. I will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to you.

While ketamine therapy is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects such as dizziness or nausea, but an anti-nausea will be prescribed. These are typically short-lived and I will be monitoring for any side effects the entire session.
