Somatic Experiencing (SE™) is a mind-body oriented therapy developed by Dr. Peter Levine. SE™ is a gentle naturalistic approach aimed at regulating the nervous system and building resilience. SE™ addresses stress and trauma that gets stored in the body, honoring the body's innate healing mechanism and reinstating a capacity for self regulation.

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro is an extensively researched psychotherapy proven to help clients recover from trauma and adverse life experiences. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to allow clients to access memories from aversive life events so that it can be reprocessed in a safe therapeutic environment and allows the brain to resume its natural healing process.

Mindfulness is conscious awareness of the present moment. Mindfulness practices can shift awareness to the present moment with openness and non judgment about the experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT can be helpful with altering dysfunctional thought processes and building skills.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative therapeutic approach that combines the use of ketamine, a safe and effective medication, with talk therapy, somatic modalities, and insight oriented work to explore and process emotional changes. Ketamine is used to enhance the therapeutic process by fostering a state of openness, introspection, and healing. KAP is backed by research demonstrating its effectiveness for conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other treatment resistant conditions. Ketamine has been shown to promote neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to form new healthier connections. This can help clients break free from unhelpful thought patterns, process past trauma, and achieve greater emotional balance. Combined with psychotherapy, KAP offers a unique pathway to deeper self awareness and lasting healing. I assist with the psychotherapy portion of the experience while Journey Clinical handles all medical spects, i.e. medical evaluation and prescribing.
