Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is making waves as a powerful tool for tackling mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, and PTSD, with every growing research into several other mental health conditions that can be positively impacted through KAP. At Courageous You, I offer a sublingual (under-the-tongue) method of ketamine administration in partnership with Journey Clinical's dedicated medical team. This approach serves as a complementary arm to traditional psychotherapy, enhancing the therapeutic experience and promoting lasting positive changes.

Your Ketamine Treatment Options at a Glance
Choosing What’s Right for You
With all these options, how do you decide which one to go with? Here are some friendly tips to help you out:
Think About Comfort: If needles make you uneasy, you might want to steer toward oral or nasal options. Both are needle-free and easier for many people!
Speed Matters: If you’re looking for quick relief, IV or IM treatments might catch your interest since they kick in faster.
Home vs. Clinic: Do you want to be in a medical setting or curled up on your couch? The sublingual option allows you to receive treatment comfortably at home, while IVs and IMs usually require a visit to the clinic.
Mind Your Budget: If cost is a factor, oral administration is often the most budget-friendly, so it’s worth considering.
Collaborative Care: If you like the sound of getting a comprehensive approach, let’s chat! I’m focused on sublingual methods but love to work with ketamine clinics to provide a well-rounded experience across all types of ketamine administration.
Choosing the right ketamine-assisted therapy isn’t just about the technical details; it’s about what feels right for you. The combination of ketamine and therapeutic support creates a space for healing and exploration. This approach effectively addresses a broad range of mental health issues, from relational difficulties and anxiety to depression and post-traumatic stress.
Ketamine’s rapid antidepressant and mood-boosting effects can last for weeks, offering a valuable lifeline while you work through underlying challenges. Emerging research continuously uncovers the potential of ketamine therapy, showing promise for various mental health concerns, beyond what we currently know.
Whether you're looking to overcome past traumas, navigate life and relationship complexities, explore your gender or sexual identities, or simply take time to recharge your mental health, ketamine-assisted therapy with Courageous You may be the perfect opportunity to prioritize your well-being and happiness.
