Cory Reese, LCSW

Cory has extensive training in Ketamine-Assisted Therapy and will soon be offering this service in his office, in collaboration with a nurse practitioner who will prescribe the ketamine.

​

Here are some of the potential benefits of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy:

​

1. Rapid onset: Ketamine has a relatively rapid onset of action, and you may experience relief from symptoms within hours to days after treatment, compared to traditional antidepressants which can take several weeks to months take effect. People can often arrive at breakthroughs at a much faster rate than traditional therapy.
    

2. Effective treatment for treatment-resistant conditions: Ketamine has been shown to be effective in treating treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.
    

3. Increased Insight and Awareness: Ketamine can help individuals gain insights and awareness into their thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors. This increased awareness can help individuals make positive changes in their lives.
    

4. Increased Neuroplasticity: Ketamine has been found to increase neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to form new neural connections. This can help individuals overcome negative thought patterns and behaviors.
    

5. Long-lasting effects: Studies have shown that ketamine-assisted therapy can have long-lasting effects, and can help individuals feel more connected to their emotions, more motivated to engage in positive behaviors, and more hopeful about the future.
    

6. Improved quality of life: Ketamine-assisted therapy has been shown to improve overall quality of life, including improved sleep, decreased suicidal ideation, and improved interpersonal relationships.

As with any therapy modality, ketamine is not a guaranteed fix. But it just might be the opportunity you're looking for to open the door to healing. (Learn more about Ketamine-Assisted Therapy HERE.)
