Process
Request a free 10 minute consultation and we can begin the preparation process by answering any questions or concerns you might have.
During this brief consultation Dr. Mati will answer any questions you have and assess if ketamine assisted therapy is right for you. After this conversation, we will begin a more in depth preparation process.
This 1 hour video consultation with Dr. Mati will include a more extensive conversation about ketamine, a review of your medical history, and a discussion of our informed consent. We will begin a discussion regarding preparation for your first ketamine session which will be continued in your physcological intake.
After your medical intake and preparation, you will have a 1 hour video consultation with our licensed therapist. You will have the opportunity to discuss your intentions for your session.
Most clients will use an oral form of ketamine for their first session. The medicine in this rapid dissolving tablet (RDT) gets absorbed through the inside of one’s mouth. The onset of action of the medicine is gradual, generally reaching peak effect in about 20 minutes and lasting around 40-60 minutes. Both Dr. Mati and a licensed therapist will be in the room with you. After the effects of the medicine wane, we will be there with you to talk with you and integrate your experience.
You will have a session, via telephone or video, with our therapist within 72 hours after your ketamine session. This will be a time to reflect and further integrate your experience.
The next sessions are very similar to the first with the additional option of having the medicine delivered via the intramuscular route (a small needle injection similar to a vaccine). The onset of action via intramuscular is within 2-5 minutes with peak activity at around 10 minutes and duration around 40 minutes.
Many folks will find a series of 5-6 ketamine sessions can create long-lasting changes in their mindset and daily life. Sometimes people are able to taper off some medications in consultation with their prescribing physician. Often clients will return once or twice a year for a ketamine therapy session as they feel it may be needed.
We see integration as key to your transformation, so as with the first session, we will schedule a follow up with our therapist within 72 hours.
You will have the option of ongoing therapy and integration with our therapist if desired.
