Hey… I can feel you reading this with that quiet ache that follows you—the fog of depression or anxiety that makes even the wins feel distant. You’ve tried the talk-therapy loops, the meds with side effects, and you’re wondering if there’s a path that’s real—something deeper, but still workable in a full life. That’s where Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) comes in. It’s one of the most hopeful tools I’ve seen for driven, resilient people who are ready for meaningful change.

Here’s the truth beneath the hype: KAP pairs carefully dosed ketamine—often taken as a lozenge at home—with psychotherapy that helps the insights actually stick. Ketamine can work quickly for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, or PTSD, often lifting the heaviness faster than traditional approaches. Research supports its role in promoting neuroplasticity, helping loosen rigid thought and emotional patterns so new possibilities can take root. People often experience not just symptom relief, but real internal shifts - greater self-compassion, perspective, and momentum. Ketamine is also legal and regulated when prescribed by qualified medical professionals.

“Done right” is everything. Too many people get funneled through large clinics that feel like assembly lines - minimal screening, shallow follow-up, and generic “integration” that doesn’t match your life. That’s not how I work. With me, this is one-on-one, tailored, and thoughtfully paced. We track progress, adjust as needed, and ensure each session builds on the last—whether you’re a high performer untangling burnout or someone finally breaking through a long freeze.

For medical oversight and safety, I partner with Journey Clinical, a team of licensed psychiatric providers who handle screening, prescribing, and monitoring. They coordinate closely with me so ketamine stays what it’s meant to be: an adjunct to deep therapeutic work, held inside a structured, ethical container.

I’m Jeremy Van Wert, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with training through the California Institute of Integral Studies in psychedelic-assisted therapies. I blend clinical skill, somatic awareness, and integrative frameworks to help you navigate altered states with nuance—and translate what opens there into grounded change in your daily life.
