KETAMINE ASSISTED EMDR
If you're facing persistent challenges such as depression that haven't responded well to previous treatments, combining ketamine therapy with EMDR has shown to be more effective than using either method separately. Our team of therapists works in collaboration with ketamine providers to ensure that we offer comprehensive and effective EMDR therapy, all with the aim of supporting you in achieving the best possible results in your healing journey.
