This innovative treatment combines ketamine with psychotherapy to address treatment-resistant depression and trauma. The process includes preparation, dosing, and integration sessions to maximize therapeutic benefits.

Clients learn to reframe traumatic memories while developing healthier coping mechanisms for lasting recovery.
