Dr. Ingram and Archeus have partnered with Journey Clinical to provide Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy to individuals suffering from anxiety and depression.
KAP helps participants to gain access to difficult and often unconscious emotional content in a rapid and powerful way. In essence it opens the door that enables you access, process and reprocess this content with the assistance of a highly-trained therapist. Ketamine is a powerful catalyst to allow inner access to difficult and often stuck material and emotions, and the psychotherapy allows the participant to actively examine, work with, and effectively process that material for long-lasting change, often far more quickly than traditional talk-oriented psychotherapies alone.

Individuals experiencing panic attacks have recurrent unexpected panic attacks— sudden periods of intense fear that come on quickly and reach their peak within minutes. Attacks can occur unexpectedly or can be brought on by a trigger, such as a feared object or situation.
Working together we will use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) to gradually teach your brain to re-interpret bodily sensations as normal body sensations and fearful thoughts as thoughts— not facts. By exposing you gradually to the feared sensation in a safe environment and with my guidance, your brain learns to re-balance itself by interpreting the sensations not as a sign of impending doom, but as normal bodily sensations t a given stressor.
A phobia is an intense fear of, or aversion to, specific objects or situations. Although it can be realistic to be anxious in some circumstances, the fear individuals with phobias experience is out of proportion to the actual danger caused by the situation or object.
Working together we will use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) to teach your brain that your fear of the dreaded situation is extremely magnified. By exposing you gradually to the feared situation in a safe environment and with my guidance, your brain learns the dreaded outcome is not realized and is forced to rebalance these conflicting thoughts.
