Clinicians & Referral Partners

At inLIGHTen Wellness, we view ketamine-assisted therapy as one component of a comprehensive healing process. Our goal is not to replace existing therapeutic relationships, but to serve as a collaborative partner in supporting individuals experiencing depression, trauma, anxiety, substance use disorders, and other mental health challenges.

Collaborative Care for the People We Serve

We deeply value the work of therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals. Many of our clients continue working with their existing treatment teams throughout their ketamine treatment process, and we welcome communication and coordination of care whenever appropriate and authorized by the client.

Together, we can help create a more integrated and supportive path toward healing.

About Ketamine-Assisted Therapy:

Who May Benefit From Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?

While every individual requires a thorough medical and psychological evaluation, ketamine therapy may be considered for individuals experiencing:

  • Depression

  • Treatment-resistant depression

  • Suicidal ideation*

  • Anxiety disorders

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • Substance and alcohol use disorders

  • Burnout and chronic stress

  • Other mental health conditions where ketamine may be clinically appropriate

 

Individuals experiencing active psychosis, uncontrolled mania, or certain medical conditions may not be appropriate candidates and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

 

*Individuals experiencing acute psychiatric emergencies should seek immediate emergency care.

Building a Trusted Community of Collaborative, Integrative Care

Healing Happens Best In Community

At inLIGHTen Wellness, we are deeply grateful for the therapists, healthcare providers, and wellness practitioners we collaborate with in supporting those we serve. We believe the most meaningful healing often happens when compassionate providers work together, each bringing their unique perspective and gifts to the process.

Our intention is to build trusted partnerships rooted in communication, integrity, and whole-person healing.

About Our Practice

Our Clinical Approach

Ketamine appears to support neuroplasticity through mechanisms involving glutamate signaling and increased production of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which may contribute to the formation of new neural pathways and adaptive patterns.

While ketamine can create a powerful therapeutic opening, meaningful and lasting change often occurs through the integration process that follows.

For this reason, we emphasize:

  • Preparation

  • Intentional treatment planning

  • Relational support

  • Integration coaching

  • Continued collaboration with existing treatment providers
