Are you struggling with treatment resistant depression, anxiety, or complex PTSD? You may have tried different therapists, therapy approaches, and medications, which allowed you to sometimes experience improvement to then have serious symptoms return. Or maybe you've never really had any significant relief and find yourself stuck in loops of avoidance, withdrawal, isolation, low mood, not enjoying anything, hyper arousal, disrupted sleep, panic, and struggling to connect with others. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy may help you to make significant gains and maintain improvement longer.
