Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

At Trauma Healing Journeys, we offer an integrated and trauma-informed approach to healing that weaves together Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Somatic Experiencing® (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment repair. This work sits at the intersection of modern science, ancient wisdom, and the deep human longing for healing and reconnection.

We understand trauma not just as a psychological event, but as an imprint on the nervous system—something held in the body and often beyond the reach of words. Our team of clinicians is rigorously trained in somatic therapies and skilled in holding space for transformational healing. Whether you’re a client seeking relief from suffering or a provider exploring safe, ethical models of psychedelic care, our practice offers an integrative path grounded in compassion, clinical excellence, and embodied presence.

A Unique Integration of Modalities

At the core of our clinical model is the synergy between Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Somatic Experiencing® (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), ‍and attachment repair. These modalities are not simply added together—they are intentionally integrated to support healing at the emotional, physiological, and relational levels.

• Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy facilitates shifts in consciousness that allow clients to access insight, emotional release, and new perspectives on long-standing patterns of pain or protection.
• In these expanded states, Somatic Experiencing® helps regulate the nervous system, guiding the body toward the natural completion of trauma responses and restoring safety from the inside out.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) brings compassionate curiosity to the parts of the self that carry wounds, burdens, or protective roles, allowing for reintegration and internal harmony.
• Healing happens in connection. Our practitioners provide attachment-oriented support as you explore and repair patterns of connection by fostering a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship and offering thoughtful integration to restore your capacity for attachment and belonging.

We view this work as sacred. Psychedelic medicine opens a doorway—a chance to soften defenses, listen to what has been buried in the body, and come home to oneself. Our approach holds this process as both clinical and relational, deeply rooted in safety, presence, and respect for the human experience.

Safety, Preparation, and the Therapeutic Relationship

Healing begins with being met—gently, consistently, and without agenda. For many, trauma began in moments of overwhelm or isolation. We work to reverse that pattern by building a grounded therapeutic container from the very beginning.

Foundations of Safety Include:‍

• A trusting, attuned relationship with a therapist or provider
• A calming, intentional setting designed for deep work
• Ongoing co-regulation and client empowerment throughout every phase

Before any medicine journey, preparation is essential. It is during this phase that we begin to build inner resources, explore intention, and tend the soil of the nervous system.

Preparation may involve:‍

• Exploring longings and setting intentions with openness
• Mapping emotional patterns, somatic holding, and protective strategies
• Addressing fears or uncertainties with compassion
• Creating soothing rituals, choosing music, and fine-tuning the environment to foster ease
• Teaching somatic tools for grounding and nervous system regulation


Each psychedelic session is supported by a licensed psychiatric provider who ensures medical readiness and remains present throughout the experience. This allows clients to fully relax into the process, knowing their body and mind are being safely held.

The Psychedelic Journey: What May Arise

During psychedelic sessions, old grief, unresolved trauma, ancestral patterns, and hidden emotional truths often surface. We help clients:

• Recognize what is emerging with tenderness
• Stay grounded through sensation, breath, and presence
• Practice the art of surrendering, not in defeat but in trust
• Honor the full spectrum of the experience—light and shadow, clarity and confusion

We also work with humility, respecting the cultural and ecological lineages of these medicines. Healing is not just personal—it is collective, and our work is rooted in that understanding.

Integration: Living the Insights

The journey does not end when the medicine wears off. In fact, that’s often when the deepest transformation begins.

Integration is where insights take root. We support this through:‍

• Embodied Processing: movement, breath, and somatic practices to digest the experience
• Talk Therapy: trauma-informed dialogue that helps make meaning without bypass
• Creative Expression: art, ritual, or writing to express the unspeakable
• Nervous System Regulation: building resilience in everyday life
• Long-Term Support: integration can take weeks, months, or longer—we walk alongside you


We hold this phase with as much care as the preparation and the journey itself. We know that transformation is not linear. Our role is not to fix, but to walk with you—attuned, respectful, and steady.

Other Areas of Support

Post-Psychedelic CrisisPsychedelic experiences—whether with Ketamine, Ayahuasca, LSD, MDMA, psilocybin, or others—can open profound doors to experiences that require renegotiation and reorienting in your nervous system. You may return from a journey feeling ungrounded, overwhelmed, or unable to make sense of what you’ve seen or felt.You don’t have to navigate this alone.At Trauma Healing Journeys, we offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for individuals experiencing post-psychedelic challenges—even if your journey took place outside of our clinic, in a retreat setting, with friends, or on your own.
Whether the experience was planned or spontaneous, sought for healing or curiosity, we honor your path and are here to help you make meaning of it.
We work with individuals struggling with:

• Dissociation or feeling “not here”
• Intrusive or confusing thoughts
• Emotional flooding or numbing
• Insomnia, nightmares, or hyperarousal
• Existential anxiety or spiritual confusion
• Difficulty relating to others or returning to daily life


These are not signs that you’re broken—they’re signs of an overwhelmed nervous system still trying to integrate a brand new experience.


Through a combination of somatic practices, mindful inquiry, and compassionate presence, we help you reconnect with your body, your connection to others, and your sense of wholeness.
