How Ketamine Therapy Works at Innate
At Innate, we specialize in ketamine therapy to treat adults and older teens suffering from a variety of mental health conditions. Our ketamine treatments can be effective for depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders, postpartum depression, and existential anxiety in people facing life-threatening or terminal illness. Through personalized ketamine treatment plans, we help you reconnect with your authentic self — your Innate self that exists beneath layers of trauma and conditioning.
In this feature, our founders Carl and Tia discuss their journey to providing ketamine therapy and the healing philosophy behind our approach to ketamine treatments.
As a husband and wife, doctor and nurse team, we deliver warm, professional ketamine therapy in a setting designed to maximize therapeutic benefits while ensuring your comfort and safety.
Expert Ketamine Therapy:
Multidisciplinary & Specialized Care
Innate Care’s Main Office
Our ketamine therapy program operates within a multidisciplinary care team led by a physician with specialized training in ketamine treatment for psychological conditions. Our staff receives comprehensive training to provide the unique support that ketamine therapy requires. Each client's ketamine treatment is individually tailored to their specific needs and condition. When clinically indicated, clients work with Innate's therapists, all extensively trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).
Innate provides highly specialized ketamine therapy that conventional psychiatry and psychotherapy offices cannot easily deliver. We maintain regular communication with referring clinicians, keeping them updated on their client's response to ketamine treatments. Our deep integration within the community of psychiatrists and therapists ensures seamless continuity of care.
We use standardized measures to follow our clients' response to treatment over time. While ketamine therapy is effective for many, it does not work for everyone. Often, we won’t know if the therapy will be effective until you have at least 3 or 4 treatment sessions. That said, IV ketamine treatment has been shown to be durably effective in treating depression in the majority of patients receiving it.
The Ketamine Therapy Experience at Innate
Ketamine + Therapy
Ketamine therapy sessions at Innate typically last two hours. We offer multiple ketamine administration methods including IV ketamine infusions, ketamine lozenges, or IM ketamine injections. Your ketamine session may be followed by therapy to process insights and integrate the experience. The ketamine medicine itself actively works for about 45 minutes — the remainder of your time focuses on recovery, therapy, and integration of your ketamine experience.
Expert Guidance Through Your Ketamine Journey
During ketamine treatment, your mind experiences a profound shift from everyday consciousness. This altered state allows you to view your challenges from entirely new perspectives, helping to break through feelings of being 'stuck' in negative thought patterns. Innate's specialized team of medical personnel and therapists are experts in working with ketamine, helping you safely maximize therapeutic benefits while feeling supported throughout your ketamine journey.
Comfort and Care During Ketamine Therapy
Our ketamine therapy suites are designed for comfort and tranquility, creating an environment more reminiscent of a peaceful living room than a clinical setting. During your ketamine infusion, you'll have the option to wear eye shades and listen to carefully selected music that enhances the therapeutic ketamine experience. Our experienced staff remains present throughout your ketamine treatment, offering reassurance and support if your journey includes challenging, confusing, or intense moments.
