Why Group KAT?

Deep and lasting transformations are facilitated through meaningful connections among cohort members, fostering accountability, witnessing each other’s experiences, and reflecting inner wisdom and self-healing.

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is an anesthetic medication that has been used during surgery and outpatient procedures for decades. When ketamine is administered in a low dose, however, it has a different impact. It can help reduce symptoms related to psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, which can help improve how we interact with our world.

Though ketamine is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it’s used off-label to treat these conditions. Off-label simply means that the medication is used for something other than the reason it was approved. Though that sounds ominous, off-label use is quite common and legal.

Benefits of Group Ketamine Assisted Therapy:

Safe, Supportive Space for Deep Work: Group KAT provides a safe and supportive environment where you can embark on a profound inner journey. Surrounded by experienced therapists and peers who understand your challenges, you're free to explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences with guidance and care.
Learning from Others with Similar Struggles: In a group setting, you're not alone in your healing journey. You have the opportunity to learn from and connect with others who share similar struggles. Their stories and insights can provide new perspectives and inspiration for your own path to recovery and self-discovery.
Encouragement of Self-Expression: Group KAT encourages self-expression and the sharing of your thoughts and emotions. By vocalizing your experiences, you not only gain a deeper understanding of yourself but also help others in their healing process. This process of open self-expression can be profoundly therapeutic.
Enhanced Socialization and Communication: Group therapy fosters enhanced socialization and communication skills. As you interact with others facing similar challenges, you develop better interpersonal skills, which can positively impact your relationships and daily life.
Cost-Effectiveness Compared to Individual Therapy: Group KAT offers a cost-effective alternative to individual therapy. With nearly a 50% discount compared to individual KAT sessions, you can access the healing power of ketamine therapy without breaking the bank.
Facilitating Personal Growth Through Shared Experiences: Group KAT is a unique opportunity to grow personally through shared experiences. By witnessing the transformations and progress of fellow group members, you'll gain valuable insights and inspiration that can lead to meaningful personal growth.

Marci loves being a psychedelic therapist– like, a lot. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor and earned her BS in Psychology from Texas State University, her MS in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. She also completed the Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy certification through PRATI. Marci thinks the integration of psychedelics with psychotherapy is a science and also an art form. She holds equal parts respect for the neuroscience behind this medicinal use, as well as a deep reverence for the symbols, emotions, and depth that come from a psychedelic experience. Working with Marci means working with the whole self– mind, body, and spirit. She intentionally brings a down-to-earth and caring presence to her sessions. When not working, Marci is happiest in the sunshine, well-fed, or playing with her kitty and dog.
