How Does Our Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy Work?
Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy at Denver Men’s Therapy integrates the therapeutic potential of psychedelics with psychotherapeutic techniques in both individual and group settings. The process begins with an initial assessment to establish a personalized treatment plan.
Our trained professionals create a safe space for individuals to confront and process challenging experiences. During the sessions, ketamine is administered in a controlled and supportive environment, enabling comprehensive emotional exploration.
In psychedelic-assisted group therapy, the same comprehensive protocol is followed as in individual therapy, which includes preparation sessions, dosing sessions, and integration sessions.
With psychedelic therapy in Denver, you can enhance neural connectivity, gain new insights and perspectives on personal challenges.
Medicine Used in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Psychedelic-assisted therapy employs medicine that alters brain activity, promoting emotional exploration and helping individuals confront difficult emotions and experiences. We primarily utilize ketamine to address conditions such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and feelings of stagnation.
Ketamine is a medically approved, reliable and beneficial medication utilized for treating various psychological disorders, including major depression, anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder. Ketamine delivers quick-acting antidepressant and mood-lifting benefits, which typically emerge within 1-2 hours post-administration and persist for up to 2 weeks. Its mechanism involves blocking NMDA receptors in the brain while activating AMPA receptors, which are believed to facilitate new neural connections and strengthen brain circuits that control stress responses and emotional regulation. Research indicates ketamine also promotes broader neuroplasticity for sustained symptom relief.
Ketamine administration methods include intravenous infusions, intramuscular shots, nasal sprays, and sublingual tablets. At Denver Men’s Therapy, we exclusively utilize the sublingual tablet formulation.
Other psychedelics, including psilocybin, have been recognized for their therapeutic potential in various treatments, providing additional context for their benefits.
Each therapy session is conducted in a controlled environment and closely monitored by trained professionals, ensuring safety and maximizing healing outcomes.
