Ketamine-assisted therapy (KAT) is an innovative and highly effective therapeutic approach that combines the psychoactive medicine ketamine with psychotherapy to enhance and deepen the healing process. It has been shown to help with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, chronic pain, substance use disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder.
While the biochemical effects of ketamine alone can offer symptom relief, we have found that combining it with skilled psychotherapy and other integrative treatments often amplifies and prolongs its benefits, helping clients not only feel better, but reconnect with themselves, their relationships, and a renewed sense of possibility.
At Sage Integrative Health in Berkeley, we offer KAT as part of a comprehensive and holistic approach to wellness. This may include complementary therapies such as bodywork, craniosacral therapy, nutrition counseling, and somatic experiencing, to help integrate insights from KAT, regulate the nervous system, and extend its therapeutic benefits.
