At-home and online Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in New Jersey has never been more accessible. Mind by Design offers Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for NJ resident via tele-therapy (virtual therapy) and optional, in-home therapy. Ketamine has been researched for decades and, more notably research has shown that ketamine therapy can help break the persistent cycles of anxiety, OCD, treatment resistant depression, and PTSD.
In combination with psychotherapy, KAP enables you to tap into altered states of consciousness and harness the biological benefits of psychedelic medicines. Not only does online KAP alleviate the stress of traveling to busy clinics, but also allows for us to offer treatment at less than half the cost of traditional in-person ketamine treatment
Our partner, Journey Clinical, shares the stories of individuals who have experienced ketamine assisted therapy.
The Services provided by Mind by Design & Journal Clinical are available to you!
We can come to you! Residents in NJ may be eligible to have their therapist come to their home to support their Ketamine Dosing Session. This exclusive and progressive approach increases client comfort, aids in the therapeutic application and serves as a guiding support for clients.
Additionally, we also understand that not everyone may have a “support person” or a “chaperone” to be present in their home during the dosing session, therefore, this option creates more accessibility to KAP
In addition to in-home support for New Jersey clients during their dosing session, clients will receive ongoing individual therapy via telehealth to support their therapeutic journey. In short, this is an opportunity for Residents of New Jersey to access this safe and progressive treatment, right from home.
Due to the nature of the process of Ketamine Assisted Therapy, clients will be seen for at least 3 online therapy sessions prior to their dosing sessions. During this time, they will also be seen for a medical assessment via Journey Clinical Medical Team. Upon clearance from the medical team, clients will receive their prescription and schedule their prep and dosing session with their therapist. this process has been created in flowing steps to ensure that clients are confident and comfortable in their treatment plan.
For many, talk therapy has served well, however, there are times when talk therapy falls short. That’s where Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy comes into play. It’s important to recognize that although psychedelic experiences can amplify your consciousness, these experiences could potentially escalate psychological pain without the right support. Therefore, adequate preparation and post-experience integration, facilitated by trained therapists, are crucial to creating a healing psychedelic journey. Consequently, research has shown that clients who participate in psychotherapy along with KAP see more sustained progress in their treatment than those who do not have therapy supports.
It’s important to validate that this therapy approach can feel intimidating to many of us. That’s why we offer 3 sessions before a dosing session, as well as in-home ketamine therapy for your dosing session. Research shows that clients who receive therapy supports from a licensed professional have greater, more sustained benefits from he effects of Ketamine than those who do not have therapy supports. That being said, we want to ensure the most comfortable and effective care for our clients, which is why we offer in-home ketamine assisted therapy dosing sessions with our therapists from Mind by Design.
As noted earlier, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy has shown considerable promise in reducing symptoms of OCD. Studies have explored the use of KAP as a treatment for OCD. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders in 2016 found that KAP was effective in reducing symptoms of OCD in individuals with treatment-resistant OCD. Undoubtably, access to ketamine assisted psychotherapy has never been more available to NJ residents, and we encourage you to learn more & make the best decision for your mental health.
In particular, Ketamine assisted psychotherapy has been known for the positive results seen in the treatment of PTSD and depression. Because of these positive results, studies continue to expand. What’s more is the numerous studies that have shown a rapid reduction in depressive symptoms, often noticeable within hours of the initial treatment session. Additionally, a 2018 study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research found that KAP was effective in reducing symptoms of depression in individuals with treatment-resistant depression. Moreover, out of the 99 participants who underwent a series of KAP sessions, an impressive 70% reported experiencing a significant reduction in depressive symptoms within just 24 hours of the first session.
In addition to efficacy in treatment for OCD and PTSD, ketamine assisted psychotherapy has demonstrated promising results in reducing symptoms of anxiety, particularly in individuals with treatment-resistant anxiety disorders, often evident within hours of the initial session. For example, a study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders in 2020 investigated the effectiveness of KAP in treating individuals with treatment-resistant generalized anxiety disorder. In brief, the 30 participants who received a series of KAP sessions reported significant reductions in anxiety symptoms after each session.
