Why Ketamine services work best with therapy
Ketamine services have gained recognition for their rapid and profound effects on mental health. When combined with introspective therapy, the benefits are even more significant. Introspective therapy encourages deep self-reflection and exploration of underlying thoughts and emotions. Ketamine's unique properties can enhance this process by:
- Altering Brain Chemistry: Ketamine acts on the brain's glutamate system, promoting new neural connections and pathways. This can provide a fresh perspective and reduce rigid thought patterns, making it easier to engage in introspective work.
- Reducing Emotional Barriers: Ketamine can help lower defenses and emotional barriers, allowing for a more open and honest exploration of one's inner experiences. This can lead to breakthroughs in understanding and addressing the root causes of mental health issues.
- Accelerating Progress: The combination of ketamine and introspective therapy can accelerate therapeutic progress, leading to faster relief from symptoms and a deeper sense of healing. Patients often report feeling more grounded and connected to their emotions after sessions.
- Creating a Safe Space: Our clinic provides a safe and supportive environment for ketamine-assisted therapy. Our professionals are trained to guide you through the experience, ensuring that you feel comfortable and secure throughout the process.
For patients who have not found relief through traditional antidepressants or therapy, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers a promising alternative. TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, particularly those involved in mood regulation. This innovative treatment can be a game-changer for individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression.
Available at select locations
- Utah Valley Clinic- Psychiatry and Counseling
- Avenues Specialty Clinic - Psychiatry and Counseling
- St. George - Psychiatry & Counseling Clinic
Benefits of TMS Therapy
TMS therapy involves placing a magnetic coil against the scalp, near the forehead. Short magnetic pulses are then directed to specific areas of the brain, activating neural pathways that can improve mood. Each session typically lasts around 30 to 40 minutes, and a full course of treatment usually requires daily sessions over several weeks.
TMS has several advantages over other treatments for depression:
- It is a non-invasive procedure, meaning no surgery or anesthesia is required.
- It has minimal side effects, with the most common being mild scalp discomfort or headache.
- It does not require medication, making it an excellent option for those who cannot tolerate antidepressant side effects.
- TMS can be used alongside other treatments, including medication and therapy, to enhance overall effectiveness.
