How Ketamine Helps

In my practice, ketamine is a safe, legal, effective medicine with research showing strong benefits for depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress. Unlike many antidepressants, it can ease symptoms quickly. Many people notice improvement within hours, with effects that can last for days or even weeks.

Ketamine activates brain pathways that support healing. It promotes neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new connections, which helps loosen old patterns and build emotional resilience. Paired with real time therapy at home, I often see meaningful breakthroughs and lasting change. Results vary, and we will decide together if this approach is a good fit for your needs.

The Experience

The effects of ketamine are usually calming and pleasant, lasting about 45 minutes. You may feel slightly removed from your body or notice shifts in perception and emotion. Many describe a gentle, expansive, insightful state. Most people feel relaxed and safe.

You will rest in a cozy space at home while I support you before, during, and after the experience.

As the effects fade, we will process and integrate what arose. Even if hard to name, insights often feel clear and meaningful. Research suggests benefits to mood and brain function can last up to two weeks after a session, with some changes potentially more enduring.
