Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

Sometimes traditional talk therapy alone isn’t enough to break through old patterns or deeply rooted emotional pain. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a unique approach that helps clients access new levels of insight, connection, and healing by combining the therapeutic support of a licensed clinician with the powerful, short-acting effects of low-dose ketamine.

Ketamine works by increasing neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new pathways — which can help you think, feel, and respond in new ways. When used in a safe and guided therapeutic setting, it can make it easier to process emotions, release defenses, and reconnect with parts of yourself that have been hard to reach through talk therapy alone.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

At Legacy Counseling, we partner with trusted medical professionals who administer ketamine safely while your therapist helps you explore, reflect, and integrate what comes up during the experience. Many people describe feeling more open, grounded, and emotionally flexible — allowing therapy to “click” in ways it may not have before.

KAP may be especially helpful for individuals who:

Have experienced depression, anxiety, or trauma that hasn’t responded fully to other treatments
Feel emotionally “stuck” or disconnected despite doing personal work
Want to deepen their self-understanding and accelerate personal growth

Our goal is to help you safely open the door to healing that’s been waiting to happen — with the right support, guidance, and intention every step of the way.

If you feel like…

You’re caught in an endless tug-of-war. On one side, there’s a deep self-awareness—you see the patterns, recognize the triggers, and understand what’s holding you back. On the other side, following through feels impossible, as if an invisible force keeps pulling you off track. Perfectionism and procrastination seem to take turns running the show, leaving you feeling stuck and exhausted.

You pride yourself on being smart, maybe even an intellectual, yet it feels like you’re spinning your wheels. That lingering sense of shame and worthlessness reappears no matter how much progress you think you’ve made. Trauma from the past seems to have built a cage around your potential, keeping you from truly moving forward. It’s hard not to wonder—is this all there is to life?

Here’s how I can help…

The journey to healing is best traveled together, not alone. The pain you feel comes from deeply rooted beliefs, but here’s the truth—beliefs can change. Together, we’ll work to rewrite the narrative that has kept you trapped for so long.

Using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Psychology, and EMDR, we’ll uncover the patterns and experiences that have shaped your thinking. We’ll challenge the shame, address the trauma, and create space for you to feel genuinely good about yourself and your future.

You don’t have to keep fighting this battle alone. Let’s work together to break the cycle and help you step into the life you deserve. Your better self is waiting, and I’d be honored to walk this path with you.

If you feel like…

It’s like a never-ending treadmill, these racing thoughts. Every time I try to slow down, I’m right back at full speed, lost in memories I can’t escape. I don’t know if tonight will be any different, but I just wish I could sleep without my mind running through everything again.

Every day is harder than the last, flashback after flashback until I’m exhausted. I try not to think about it, but the questions are always there, pulling me under. Why doesn’t he love me? How could he do that? Am I ever enough for anyone? I feel like I’m sinking in an ocean of pain, trying to keep my head above water.

And tomorrow—tomorrow, I have to see people and pretend like it’s all okay. The thought alone makes me anxious. I wish I could just escape it all, even for a day. Maybe I’ll try going to the gym in the morning, though it’s hard to feel like it matters anymore. And then there’s my mom—why couldn’t I have been enough for her? Why didn’t she see me?

Most days, I feel invisible, even in a house full of people. I try to be proud of my daughter, to show her that she matters, but I feel like I’m failing her too. I just want to be the mother I never had. And yet here I am, still feeling so alone.

Here’s how I can help…

I want you to know: it doesn’t have to feel this way forever. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to go through it alone. I understand how overwhelming these feelings are, and together, we can work through them one step at a time.

My approach is centered on compassion and empathy, creating a safe space where you can unpack the weight you’ve been carrying. We’ll work on practical tools for managing anxiety and building self-worth and address the painful experiences that still hold you back. Change is possible, and with support, you can begin to see a path forward—to feel empowered, to find peace, and to reconnect with the parts of you that deserve healing.

You don’t have to carry this alone. Call today and let’s walk this path together
