Ketamine with Psychotherapy

Ketamine has shown remarkable promise in alleviating conditions like depression, anxiety, alcoholism, and PTSD. Additionally, it has been shown that working in conjunction with a psychotherapist can often yield enhanced and long lasting results. Its proven safety over decades of use makes it ideal for office and at-home use. The unique experience that ketamine facilitates with its biological, experiential, and psychological impacts has been tailored to optimize office-based treatment evolving into a method that we call Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Contact our office today to schedule a KAP appointment with us.

This clinic was one of the first to explore KAP, which has proven beneficial for over 80% of patients. Our director of KAP, Tracy Santomarco, is available for ketamine assisted therapy and can be reached at tracy@tracysantomarco.com, or 424-781-7041. Alternatively, you may use your own therapist either via zoom while you are getting an infusion, or your therapist may join you in person at our clinic.

Some more info about Ms. Santomarco:

Preparation for the Infusion: I collaborate closely with patients before their Ketamine infusion via online sessions, to explore goals and establish intentions for treatment. We will also utilize somatic therapies to prepare and increase mind/ body connection for the ketamine experience. Ideally, it is best to meet for a few sessions prior to the infusion in order to fully explore goals, however, we can optimize the time the patient is able to set aside for this treatment.

Integration of Insights: After the infusion, I assist patients in making sense of the insights gained and work with them on how they will integrate these experiences into their lives, fostering lasting positive change and personal growth.

I understand that each individual’s journey is unique. My approach is tailored to the specific needs and goals of each patient, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic experience. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for exploration and healing, guiding patients on their path to wellness.
