Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

Traditional therapy and prescription medicine can help depression and anxiety, but only to a certain extent.

Reflective Healing is committed to providing a physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically
safe space for psychedelic experiences.

Engage in existential exploration

A safe, guided chance to experience the opportunities provided by consciousness expanding psychedelics.

Highly effective in treating treatment resistant depression

Ketamine is proven to help people who have not been able to experience relief from depression via traditional prescription medicines. There is a potential for ketamine to reduce or eliminate dependence on typical prescription mood management drugs. Talk to your current prescriber to help you determine if ketamine is a good option for you.

A new approach to mental health and symptom relief

The Reflective Healing Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Program can be completed in under a year, with ongoing mental health support and guidance. 

How Does Ketamine Assisted Therapy Work?

Unlike traditional treatment methods, Reflective Healing’s Ketamine Assisted Therapy offers clients insights into their own healing through a psycho-spiritual process where the client can access innate wisdom and find their unique path to personal growth and healing.

The medicine acts as a tool to break-up or pause negative thought cycles, ruminating thoughts and other facets of the resting mind that take you away from the present moment and can lock your thoughts into negative loops.

Ketamine increases your Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNR), a function that increases during exercise, and can support your healing when it comes to mood disorders and depression.

Lastly, ketamine enhances interpersonal openness and helps you to engage more deeply in the therapy process and with yourself than possible with traditional therapy.

*Certain people are not able to undergo this treatment. If you experience mania, schizophrenia, or are taking Benzodiazepines, this may not be the tool for you.

Why Choose Reflective Healing? 

While dozens of Ketamine centers have popped up in the last few years, they don’t all boast the same safety and intentionality. Even if you chose to go with a different center, please make sure that the space you choose has processes in place to protect and support your mind and well-being throughout this journey!

  • Integration Sessions

    The most crucial part of Ketamine healing- learning is how to use the innate personal wisdom you accessed during our sessions to find your unique path to personal growth and healing. These sessions will help you reflect, absorb, and channel what you have learned, and integrate this new wisdom into your daily life.

  • A Caring Space Holder

    We attempt to blend our clinical background with our deep reverence for spiritual identity development to help serve you. We combine clinical skills and techniques paired with our spiritual and psychedelic knowledge to create a safe container.

  • Long Lasting Results

    Ketamine has become so popular because of the impressive results; it can do what years of psychotherapy and antidepressants can’t do and speed up the process of introspective self-awareness- but only if you do the right therapy with the right therapists. While you are able to do this on your own, it is not encouraged as it will not garner the same results or potential for healing.

  • Ceremonial Healing

    Something so beautiful needs to take place somewhere sacred. Don’t expect a fluorescent-lighted office building- we hold the ceremony for the deep healing to take place. What we know is that ceremony and ritual help to create a container and an ambiance that helps clients feel safe and supports psychedelic experiences.

  • Focus on Spiritual Identity Development

    Unlike traditional ketamine centers, our approach reflects the mission of our therapy practice: we work with people who are aligned with our mission and looking to do depth work and/or spiritual identity development. This is a space in which you can be pointed to the specific tools and knowledge that you innately already possess, and to use those tools to manage depression symptoms, and explore your spirituality.

  • A Community of Healing

    We offer workshops and women’s circles to enhance your healing journey, and to connect you to a strong community of like-minded individuals. At Reflective Healing, our vision is that even after you stop working with your therapist, you will have an opportunity to stay connected to a like-minded community. Check out our events page for information on groups and events in the community.

Reflective Healing’s Ketamine Assisted
Therapy Process:

  • We will get to know each other, chat about your long-term goals, and see if Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is the right path for you. Reflective Healing’s Ketamine Assisted Therapy won’t be a good fit if you are on Benzodiazepines or have a history of mania, disassociation, or certain personality disorders. If you’re on an SSRI or an SNRI, ketamine is a very good option for you to consider.

    Ultimately, end goal of Reflective Healing’s Ketamine Assisted Therapy is to help folks experience more manageable symptoms associated with depression or eradicate those symptoms.

    Reflective Healing’s Ketamine Assisted Therapy is the only psychotropic drug therapy that doesn’t require you to taper off your prescription medication. Meaning that you can continue with traditional therapy and prescription medication while receiving all the benefits of Reflective Healing’s Ketamine Assisted Therapy

  • Reflective Healing follows a prescription process that takes the power of psychotropic medicine seriously. We provide a referral to one of our trusted nurse practitioners or psychiatrists in our network. You will then have a consultation with the prescriber and if the prescriber and you agree that ketamine is the right fit for you, you will be prescribed your ketamine in the form of an oral lozenge. If they decide oral lozenges are best suited for your treatment.

    You will pick up your prescription from the pharmacy. This process is safe and legal.

  • We recommend that Reflective Healing’s Ketamine Assisted Therapy be delivered in a series of 6 - 8 sessions, each lasting 2.5 hours.

    You and your therapist will work together to determine the number of sessions that is right for you. If you and your therapist decide it feels right, there is an opportunity to create ceremonial medicine space that honors the psychospiritual component of psychedelic healing. However, if ceremony and ritual are not aligned with your values and beliefs, this can look like however you and your provider would like. This is a co-creation between you and your therapist.

    Reflective Healing’s Ketamine Assisted Therapy series will require 3-6 prep sessions before beginning the series and integration follow-ups after each session. This is the time that truly sets Reflective Healing apart.

    Doing ketamine as a drug versus doing ketamine as a medicine is a very different process. While other centers in Fort Collins don’t integrate ceremony, we offer this method to deepen the potential for not just emotional healing but spiritual healing as well.
