Do you take insurance?

Trauma Healing Journeys is a private pay practice and is not in network with insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and AHCCCS. For plans with out-of-network benefits, a superbill can be provided on request to submit to your carrier. Reimbursement depends on your plan and is not guaranteed.

What does psychiatric care cost?

Session type, length and cost vary by provider and service. A 30-minute medication management visit is $175 and a longer psychiatric session runs $300 to $400. A Good Faith Estimate of expected costs is available on request before scheduling.

Do I have to do ketamine therapy to be a patient?

No. Psychiatric care, evaluations and medication management are available on their own. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is a separate service, and anyone pursuing it completes a psychiatric assessment first.

Can I use my own therapist for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy?

For psychiatric care, Trauma Healing Journeys collaborates with outside therapy teams. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works differently: the therapy inside a KAP session is held by one of the practice's own clinicians, though the practice continues to collaborate with an outside therapist alongside it.

Do you see children or teenagers?

No. Trauma Healing Journeys works with individuals 18 and older.

What if I need to cancel?

At least 24 hours' notice is required. Cancellations inside that window are charged the full session fee, because the appointment time is held for you.

More than the medicine itself

A Compassionate, Relational Approach to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Our psychiatrists and therapists are extensively trained in trauma treatment to understand how to support, build relationships, and hold space throughout every stage of the healing journey.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is unlike traditional talk therapy. It isn't about directing your experience or trying to "fix" what arises. Instead, we create the conditions for your own inner healing to unfold while remaining present with you every step of the way.

We never leave someone alone during a ketamine session.

Rather than placing someone in a room to navigate an altered state by themselves, we remain beside you, offering safety, presence, guidance, and support whenever it is needed. We know when to gently intervene, and we know when healing is asking simply to be witnessed.

We believe meaningful healing requires more than the medicine itself.

It requires:

Preparation

Safety

Relationship

The medicine experience

Thoughtful integration

These are not separate parts of treatment.

Together, they are the treatment.

The treatment

What is Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines ketamine treatment with preparation, psychotherapy, and integration to help people heal from trauma, PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and other deeply rooted emotional patterns.

At Trauma Healing Journeys, we believe healing happens through the entire process, not simply the medicine session.

Ketamine can create an opportunity to experience yourself differently. It may soften long-held defenses, increase psychological flexibility, and allow emotions, memories, or perspectives to emerge in ways that traditional therapy alone sometimes cannot.

That is why every stage of treatment is intentionally designed to support lasting transformation.

Our approach

Our Trauma-Informed Approach

When we do offer guidance, we draw from an integrated, trauma-informed model that brings together:

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Somatic Experiencing® (SE)

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Attachment Repair

These approaches are not simply layered together.
They work together to support healing at the emotional, physiological, relational, and nervous system levels.

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.

Healing isn't only about changing thoughts.

It is about helping the nervous system experience safety again.

Psychedelic medicine opens a doorway. A chance to soften defenses. To listen to what has been buried in the body. And, ultimately, to come home to yourself.

Our clinicians are extensively trained in trauma therapy and understand how to remain present with people experiencing profound emotional work.

We believe healing happens in relationship. Feeling held and supported, rather than isolated and alone, is an essential part of the therapeutic process.

Our role is to hold that doorway with clinical excellence, compassion, and deep respect for the human experience.

Safety and preparation

Safety, Preparation and the Therapeutic Relationship

Healing begins with being met. Gently. Consistently. Without agenda.

For many people, trauma began during experiences of overwhelm, fear, or isolation. Our work begins by creating something different: a therapeutic relationship grounded in safety, trust, and presence.

Before any ketamine session, every client completes a comprehensive psychiatric assessment to determine whether treatment is appropriate and medically safe.

Each session is supported by a licensed psychiatric provider who helps ensure medical readiness and remains present throughout the experience.

What preparation may include

Preparation is one of the most important parts of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Together, we begin to build the foundation for the work ahead.

Clarifying intentions
Exploring emotional patterns
Understanding protective strategies
Addressing fears with compassion
Learning grounding and nervous system regulation skills
Creating a calming environment that supports your journey

Our goal is simple:
To help you feel safe enough to fully engage in your own healing.

Conditions

Conditions We Commonly Support

Healing is never one-size-fits-all.

While every person's story is unique, many of our clients come to us after living with symptoms that continue to affect their relationships, work, sense of self, or ability to fully engage with life. Through ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, trauma-informed psychiatric care, preparation, and integration, we help people explore new possibilities for healing when traditional treatment hasn't been enough.

PTSD and Complex Trauma

Trauma can continue affecting the nervous system long after the original experience has passed. Through ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and trauma-informed care, we help people safely work with experiences that may feel stuck in both the mind and body.

Treatment-Resistant Depression

When antidepressants or traditional therapy haven't provided lasting relief, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy may offer a different path forward. Our approach combines the medicine with preparation, therapeutic support, and integration to help create meaningful, lasting change.

Anxiety and Chronic Stress

Living in a constant state of worry, overwhelm, or hypervigilance can leave the nervous system feeling exhausted. We help clients understand these patterns while supporting greater regulation, flexibility, and resilience.

Depression

Depression affects far more than mood. It can change the way you experience relationships, motivation, hope, and daily life. We take a trauma-informed approach that looks beyond symptom management to support deeper healing.

Attachment Trauma and Relationship Patterns

Many people discover that the ways they relate to themselves and others were shaped by early experiences of safety, connection, or loss. Our relational approach helps clients gently explore these patterns while building new experiences of trust, connection, and belonging.

Nervous System Dysregulation

Sometimes the body continues responding as though danger is still present, even when life has changed. Through somatic approaches, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and thoughtful integration, we help clients move toward greater regulation and a renewed sense of safety.

Consulting for Clinicians

For providers wanting to bring ketamine-assisted therapy into their work, we offer consultation rooted in somatics, trauma-informed care, and soulful presence. This is more than a modality. It’s a sacred responsibility. And we’re here to help you hold it well.

Healing Is Possible

At Trauma Healing Journeys, we believe healing is not only possible—it is your birthright. Through safe, sacred, and skillfully facilitated care, we help people reconnect with their own inner wisdom, release what no longer serves them, and create meaningful, lasting change.
