Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
When the usual things have not worked
Some people cycle through three or four antidepressants and years of therapy and still feel stuck in the same place. Ketamine assisted psychotherapy is for that situation. The medication opens a window where old patterns loosen and things you have not been able to reach become reachable, and the therapy is what turns that window into actual change.
The medicine on its own is not the treatment. What happens in the room, and in the sessions afterward where you make sense of it, is the treatment.
One clinician, start to finish
In most places this work gets split. A prescriber handles the dosing, a therapist handles the talking, and the two of them may never speak. Here, Dr. Colt is both. He earned a PhD in clinical psychology in 2013 and an MD in family medicine after that, which means the person deciding whether this is safe for you is the same person sitting with you through the session and the same person you talk to about what came up.
Care starts with a full look at your history, your medications, and what you are hoping for, because this is not right for everyone and we would rather say so early. Sessions happen in the office with support the whole way through, and you will need someone to drive you home. Integration sessions follow, where the experience gets worked into something you can actually use.
