Discover the benefits of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in a therapeutic experience designed just for you

At Centerspace, we offer a unique, individually-developed, therapeutic experience for individuals seeking healthier and more satisfying lives. Whether it is negative or obsessive thoughts, persistent worry, intrusive painful memories, or problematic alcohol or substance use, psychological habits can be intensely distressing. Ketamine, a cutting-edge treatment, has been shown to be an effective medication in difficult-to-treat conditions including:

  • Long-lasting sadness or irritability
  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and helplessness
  • Persistent pessimism or hopelessness
  • Loss of interest in things that once brought enjoyment or pleasure
  • Changes in appetite or sleep
  • Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry
  • Feeling nervous, restless or tense
  • Inability to control worries or relax
  • Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom
  • Intrusive and intense memories of prior traumatic events
  • Pervasive nightmares
  • Avoidance of certain activities or place that remind you of a traumatic event
  • Feeling emotionally numb or detached
  • Fear of being contaminated by germs or dirt
  • Fear of losing control and harming yourself or others
  • Intrusive sexually explicit or violent thoughts
  • Compulsive hoarding
  • Compulsive mental or physical rituals
  • Difficulty controlling use of alcohol or other substances
  • Difficulty with intense urges to use alcohol or other substances
  • Difficulty in dealing with other problems without alcohol or other substances
  • Persistent pain affecting daily life
  • Feeling exhausted or having trouble sleeping due to persistent pain
  • Feeling anxious, depressed, or isolated due to persistent pain

It has been commonly used at high doses for decades as an anesthetic during surgical procedures and is well-known for its safety—often used in children. When given at doses approximately 1/10th of those used for anesthesia, it facilitates a “time out” from one’s ordinary mind and habitual patterns of thinking about and perceiving the world. Brain imaging suggests that under low doses of ketamine, the brain works similarly to vivid dreaming and deep meditative states. Ketamine can rapidly reverse psychological distress, and when combined with psychotherapy, can facilitate enduring change.
