Cathexis Psychedelics is an Arizona state licensed outpatient treatment center specializing in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. We believe psychotherapy integration is the cornerstone of treatment. A Licensed Professional Counselor will be at your side throughout the ketamine experience to offer support and guidance, and will provide psychotherapy integration immediately after each ketamine treatment.

While ketamine does have pharmaceutical effects (increase in Glutamate and decrease in hippocampal GABA, as well as promoting neurogenesis), metaphorically, the medication can be thought of as a “doorway” while integration is where the work really shines. It is theorized that the pharma effects of the medication promote memory recall via increasing the conductivity of neuro-synaptic connections (the glutamate) while decreasing the emotional reactivity to such memories (the GABA effect), and in a way gives us access to the unconscious/repressed without the same emotional load in which those memories are fused.

Much like how dreams work, ketamine becomes accessible to our conscious mind briefly in a way that allows us to process the content and make meaning of the experiences without being emotionally overloaded. This is where integration work with a competent and trained therapist comes into play.  Also like dreams, if processing does not occur immediately after treatment the client runs the risk of forgetting key moments of experience, and losing the opportunity to apply the insights therapeutically.

We offer in-office IM and oral ketamine treatments overseen by on-site medical staff and guided by Licensed Professional Counselors to adults and couples.
