Living with depression, anxiety, or trauma can feel overwhelming. Some people try therapy for years and still feel stuck. Others try different medications but don’t get the relief they hoped for. If you’ve been searching for something that finally helps you break through the fog, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy may give you a real chance to heal.
At Palo Alto Mind Body, this treatment takes place under the guidance of M Rameen Ghorieshi, MD, MPH, who has completed over 20,000 ketamine treatments. His experience gives patients a safe, steady, and informed space to do this work.
Ketamine- Assisted Psychotherapy (often called KAP) brings two powerful tools together: ketamine, a medication that helps the brain form new pathways, and therapy, which helps you use those pathways to facilitate greater healing.
You don’t just sit through a ketamine session on your own. Your therapist stays with you and supports you through the entire experience. You have medical supervision, emotional guidance, and a clear plan. Ketamine is thought to help your brain shift neural pathways that form during depression, anxiety, PTSD, or chronic stress. Then, therapy helps you work through problematic thought patterns while your mind feels more flexible and open, facilitating an emotional reset.

When you add therapy during this window, you get a chance to:
Think of it like loosening a knot. Ketamine softens the knot, and therapy helps untie it.
