Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) is a revolutionary mental health treatment designed for individuals who have not achieved desired outcomes from standard health and mental health treatments. This therapy is particularly effective for individuals dealing with:
Combining the benefits of ketamine with therapeutic support provides an opportunity for profound emotional breakthroughs, increased emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of well-being. Clients often report enhanced insight and awareness, a reduction in symptoms that have been resistant to other forms of treatment, and an increased sense of meaning and quality of life. Whether you are exploring new avenues for mental health support or seeking effective relief from persistent symptoms, our team at NeuroGrove is committed to providing personalized care that prioritizes your well-being and therapeutic goals.
NeuroGrove’s integrative team, holistic approach, and comfortable setting make it an ideal option for psychedelic-assisted therapy. Each session offers medical supervision, preparation, and integration to ensure the highest standards of safety and efficacy. Our KAT sessions are administered, guided, and monitored by our in-house Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Ryan Phillips, who holds a certification in psychedelic-assisted therapy from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute.
Ketamine prescription and supervision are carried out by the medical doctor on our team, Dr. Abid Husain. Our mental health clinicians support clients’ growth and integration by helping to process the experience, emotions, and insights gained, and apply them to their daily lives. Neurotherapy further enhances the benefits of KAT by priming neural network communication for improved processing and self-regulation, as well as assisting the integration process.
Adequate preparation and integration are essential to achieve optimal outcomes from ketamine-assisted therapy. Unlike many other ketamine clinics, we focus not only on the administration of the treatment but also on the critical stages of preparation and integration to ensure the most effective and transformative experience for our clients. Before starting the therapy, we conduct thorough assessments and personalized preparatory work to help clients set intentions and understand the process. After treatment, we provide therapeutic support to help clients process their experiences and incorporate the insights gained into their lives. This holistic approach enhances the therapeutic benefits of KAT while promoting long-lasting positive change.
The method of ketamine delivery significantly impacts its comfort, effectiveness, and safety. NeuroGrove offers the intramuscular (IM) method of ketamine administration, which allows for precise dosing, efficiency of onset, and enhanced comfort (e.g., no IV needle in the arm, no throat discomfort from lozenges, etc.). Our structured clinical setting promotes safety and continuous monitoring, crucial for managing potential side effects such as dissociation, blood pressure changes, or elevated heart rate.
Each KAT session takes approximately two hours and includes thorough preparation and focused integration of the experience. Prior to starting KAT, all clients undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation and clearance by Dr. Phillips to ensure safety and suitability for the treatment. While many benefits can be experienced from a single session, most clients average 12-18 sessions to achieve optimal outcomes.
NeuroGrove is committed to pioneering integrative approaches to health and mental health care, particularly for treatment approaches for chronic illness and chronic pain conditions. KAT offers a unique pathway to healing by leveraging ketamine's properties to foster neuroplasticity and neurogenesis via enhanced Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) levels. These mechanisms support mental health and contribute to neurological healing and resilience. Ketamine's ability to regulate immune cells in the brain further underscores its potential in reducing inflammation and alleviating symptoms associated with chronic illness.
For clients navigating the complex challenges of chronic pain or illness, KAT provides a holistic approach that addresses both mental and physical well-being. By promoting adaptive changes in brain structure and function, KAT facilitates emotional processing, reduces depressive symptoms, and enhances overall resilience in the face of chronic health challenges. At NeuroGrove, our approach to KAT is grounded in personalized care and evidence-based practices. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, supported by comprehensive medical evaluations and therapeutic integration to maximize therapeutic outcomes.
