Bay Area Ketamine Treatment

Catalyzing Change and Healing

Our expertise in psychotherapy and psychedelic therapy works to catalyze change through the integration of paradigm-shifting experiences. We aim to heal the body, mind, and heart in everything that we do.

Our Offerings

We are pleased to offer:

  • Intramuscular (IM) ketamine injection
  • Oral ketamine lozenges
  • IV infusions (in some cases)
  • Integration and adjunctive therapy and guidance, in a beautiful, relaxed setting

The Ketamine Experience

Ketamine is administered in a comfortable and relaxed setting, with close medical supervision. We believe in the importance of set and setting. You’ll be given an optional eye cover, relaxing music, and guidance as needed, to make the experience as beneficial as possible.

By enhancing neuroplasticity, ketamine has the power to change old habits and maladaptive patterns of action and thought. Our patients experience:

  • New perspectives and ways of thinking
  • More energy and willingness to engage in new activities and therapy
  • A shift of focus from the mind to the heart, where the process of healing can begin

Expanding Horizons with Ketamine Therapy

At SiliconPsych, we offer a range of treatment options to address various mental health challenges. Our ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) sessions are designed to provide relief and foster transformation for individuals struggling with:

  • Depression and anxiety
  • OCD and intrusive thoughts
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Chronic pain conditions
  • Suicidality and treatment-resistant disorders

Research has shown ketamine’s unique properties can rapidly alleviate symptoms where other interventions have fallen short. By modulating specific brain receptors, ketamine creates a state of enhanced neuroplasticity, opening new pathways for healing and growth.

Your Ketamine Journey

Each ketamine experience is tailored to your needs and goals. Our expert therapists guide you through:

  • Pre-session preparation and intention setting
  • The medicine session itself, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore your inner world
  • Post-session integration, helping you make sense of your experience and apply insights to daily life

The choice of method (IM injection, or oral lozenge) and session length is determined based on your individual case and preferences. A typical ketamine therapy session is between 90 and 120 minutes.

Beyond the Session

Ketamine therapy is more than just the medicine—it’s a holistic approach to mental health. We complement your ketamine experiences with:

  • Mindfulness and meditation practices
  • Somatic awareness exercises
  • Integration therapy to solidify positive changes
  • Ongoing support to address life’s challenges

Our goal is to help you develop new perspectives, challenge old thought patterns, and find a renewed sense of hope and connection to yourself and the world around you.

Getting Started

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation. During this initial appointment, we’ll:

  • Assess your current symptoms and medical history
  • Discuss your goals and any concerns
  • Explain the ketamine therapy process in detail
  • Create a personalized treatment plan

We understand that each person’s path to healing is unique. That’s why we offer accommodations and adjust our approach to meet your specific needs and comfort level.

Safety and Efficacy

While ketamine is FDA-approved for anesthetic purposes, its use in mental health is considered off-label. However, a growing body of research supports its efficacy for various mental health issues. Our team stays up-to-date with the latest studies to ensure we’re providing the most current and effective care.

We prioritize your safety throughout the process. All sessions are conducted under close medical supervision, with your well-being as our top priority.

Advantages of Ketamine Therapy

  • Enhancing the growth of new neurons, and protecting existing neurons from the damaging effects of stress
  • Minimal side effects
  • High safety profile (with a minimal effect on breathing, blood pressure and heart rate)
  • Potential for rapid improvement in mood where other medications have failed
  • New insights and perspectives that come from a closer relationship to our feelings
