Skip to content Booking THERAPY INTENSIVESfor February and March!
Thinking about therapy can stir up a complicated mix of emotions—doubt, fear, and even shame. Adding the idea of a therapy intensive can multiply the doubts.
Ketamine, an anesthetic used in hospitals and in psychotherapy to treat serious depression, has been tied to the tragic death of the beloved actor, Matthew Perry. In light of the recent news, there may be confusion around the safety of ketamine in psychotherapy.
“They carried all they could bear, and then some, including a silent awe for the terrible power of the things they carried.”
― Tim O’Brien, The Things They Carried
We use art for communication, self-expression, and healing. We can also use art in therapy to help people explore themselves and utilize a different, nonverbal way of self-expression.
You don’t have to be a professional artist to benefit from art therapy. In fact, you don’t need to have any skill or knowledge in art in order to benefit from art therapy because the focus is on the process, not the end product.
This week, we’ll paint you a picture of what art therapy looks like.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Mental Health Awareness Month seeks to raise awareness about mental health and destigmatize mental health and treatment.
This week, we’ll also explore what teletherapy looks like, its benefits, and how to prepare for a session.
During Autism Acceptance Month (or in general), you may hear the terms neurodivergent, neurodiversity, or even the neurodiversity movement. What do they mean?
This week, we’ll look at neurodiversity as a whole and how autism rests under it.
April is Autism Acceptance Month. Autism Acceptance Month works to build an inclusive and supportive community for autistic individuals. It’s more than “awareness”; it’s about fostering a society that accepts autistic people.
This month, we celebrate the differences of autistic individuals and learn more about their experiences.
March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Developmental disabilities refer to impairments in learning, behavior, physical function, or intellectual functioning. The campaign seeks to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all areas of life and the difficulties they still face today.
This week, we’ll learn more about what this national month is and how we can observe National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.
Ketamine is a medication that was FDA-approved as an anesthetic in the 1970s. It is used in hospitals for surgeries and other medical procedures and has been shown to be a physically safe anesthetic because it doesn’t suppress breathing. Ketamine also has analgesic (pain control) properties and dissociative effects that help people go through surgeries. Recently, ketamine has garnered more attention as researchers study ketamine’s antidepressant effects.
In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved esketamine, a nasal spray called Spravato, used for treatment-resistant depression. Ketamine has yet to be approved by the FDA but is still used as a fast-acting antidepressant, treating symptoms of treatment-resistant depression.
In this post, we’ll share what you can expect from a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy session and how to prepare for your first session.
Congratulations on taking this step!
We look forward to working with you!
