Micro-Dose Ketamine Therapy & EMDR

What is EMDR?

EMDR is a proven therapeutic approach that helps you process past trauma, anxiety, and stress, facilitating deep emotional healing. By using bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps rewire the brain, allowing you to shift negative patterns, release emotional blockages, and achieve a greater sense of peace and clarity. Many clients experience profound transformation, feeling lighter, more empowered, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges. Watch this short video for more information!

What is Ketamine- Assisted Psychotherapy?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a therapeutic approach that combines the use of ketamine with psychotherapy to support deep emotional processing and healing. Ketamine can help quiet the mind, access subconscious material, and create new perspectives, making it a powerful tool for working through trauma, anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns. In a KAP session, you are guided through your experience in a safe, supportive setting, followed by integration to help process insights and apply them to daily life.

What is micro-dosing Ketamine?

Ketamine microdosing involves taking very small, subperceptual doses of ketamine to promote emotional well-being, reduce anxiety, and enhance mood. This practice, often referred to as "psycholytic" therapy, aims to improve focus and creativity, while offering therapeutic benefits without the intense, hallucinogenic effects of higher doses.

  • Ketamine Microdosing Program

    Medical Evaluation with Journey Clinical – Before beginning your Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) with microdosing, you’ll have a consultation with a licensed medical provider at Journey Clinical. They will conduct a comprehensive medical assessment, determine your eligibility, and create a personalized treatment plan. If approved, they will prescribe your micro-dose.

    Initial EMDR Session – We begin with a 90-minute EMDR session to explore your goals, identify key themes, and lay the foundation for your healing journey. This session sets the stage for deep emotional work.

    Microdose Ketamine Sessions (90 minutes each) – Over the course of 6 sessions, you will experience micro-dose ketamine alongside EMDR therapy. Each session helps open emotional pathways, deepen trauma processing, and facilitate breakthroughs, all while using EMDR to promote emotional healing and mental clarity.

    Final EMDR Session – We conclude with a final 90-minute EMDR session to solidify healing, integrate key insights, and ensure lasting emotional transformation.

    This model does not include integration sessions; the focus is on using EMDR and microdosing to create lasting change during the core 6 sessions.

      Microdose Ketamine Session (90 minutes) – In a safe, supportive environment, you’ll experience your first micro-dose of ketamine. This subtle dose helps open emotional pathways and enhances your ability to process trauma while undergoing EMDR therapy.

      Integration with EMDR – After your micro-dose ketamine experience, we use EMDR to process insights, reframe limiting beliefs, and integrate your experience, promoting emotional healing and mental clarity.

      Subsequent Microdose Ketamine Sessions (90 minutes) – Over the course of 6-8 sessions, we continue the healing process with additional micro-dosing sessions. Each session deepens emotional exploration and reinforces breakthroughs, all while using EMDR to support transformation.

      Final EMDR Session – We conclude with a final EMDR session to solidify healing, integrate key insights, and ensure lasting emotional transformation.

  • I offer three pathways, each designed to meet different needs depending on where you are in your healing journey:

    1. Full-Dose Ketamine + Integration (6-8 sessions)
    If you're looking for deep transformation, this program uses full-dose ketamine to access expanded states of consciousness. Integration sessions offer space to process insights and emotional breakthroughs, and we can include EMDR when it feels supportive.

    2. Hybrid Program: 2 KAP Sessions + 3 EMDR Sessions
    This is a great fit if you want both the power of psychedelic insight and the precision of trauma reprocessing. Ketamine sessions create openness and shift emotional patterns, while EMDR helps integrate and resolve specific memories or blocks in a structured way.

    3. Microdosing + EMDR (8 sessions)
    This program is designed for those who prefer steady, ongoing emotional work with the subtle but supportive effects of ketamine microdosing. The combination allows you to stay grounded and engaged while enhancing your capacity to process and release stuck emotional material with EMDR.

  • Insurance companies do not cover ketamine dosing sessions. If we have a EMDR session without ketamine, that can be billed to insurance.

    I take on a limited number of insurance clients in my practice. If you're interested in using Aetna, please reach out to confirm if I currently have space available for insurance-based sessions.

  • Yes! Payment plans are made available by Affirm or Klarna.

  • Both virtual and in-person sessions are available, each with its benefits. I do have a slight preference for in-person sessions because we can really concentrate our time together.
