Dr. Renee Clauselle at Renee Clauselle Wellness in Garden City, NY, provides a wide range of psychological and counseling services, including ketamine-assisted therapy.

What You Need To Know About Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, also known as KAP, combines the pain-relieving and hypnotic properties of ketamine with psychotherapy. This combination has been proven effective in helping with:

  • Substance abuse disorders
  • Major depressive disorder
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Mental health challenges
  • Emotional difficulties
  • Post-traumatic stress

Dr. Renee Clauselle does not prescribe or dispense ketamine, but she can assist you in locating a physician who will prescribe the medications. Dr. Clauselle provides effective psychotherapy services which can be combined with ketamine to help you work through mental and emotional health issues.

During a typical ketamine-assisted psychotherapy session, you will lie down in a quiet room and take the prescribed dose of ketamine. Your psychotherapist may darken the room or have you wear an eye mask to help you relax.

Ketamine helps to break down the defensive walls of the mind, so you can fully explore your thoughts and relay them to the psychotherapist. After your session, the psychotherapist will discuss what happened during the session with you.

You can benefit from ketamine-assisted psychotherapy if you are experiencing:

  • Frequent sadness or feelings of unhappiness
  • Frequent feelings of anxiousness or fear
  • Chronic negativity or mood swings
  • Thoughts about harming yourself or others
  • An inability to control drinking or drug use
