You Don’t Have to Be “Broken” to Benefit: Ketamine for the Quiet Struggles

There’s a common myth that you need to hit rock bottom before reaching out for help. That you have to be in full-blown crisis mode or carrying a diagnosis to "qualify" for something like ketamine-assisted therapy. But the truth is, you don't need to be broken to benefit.

Many people come to this work carrying a quieter kind of pain—a persistent sense of unease, a feeling of being stuck, or a numbness they can’t quite name. They show up not because they’re falling apart, but because they know something is missing. Life might look "fine" from the outside, but inside, there’s a disconnect.

Ketamine for Subtle, Unspoken Struggles

Ketamine offers a powerful way to soften the noise and get underneath the surface. It can make space for self-reflection that feels safe and unforced. For some, it unlocks long-buried insights. For others, it just feels like the first deep breath they've taken in years.

This work isn't about fixing what's "wrong." It's about making room for what wants to emerge.

My Approach: Lozenge + Somatic Therapy

In our sessions, I blend ketamine lozenge (troche) work with somatic therapy. That means we pay attention to your body’s signals and support your system in finding regulation. Sometimes we speak. Sometimes we just notice. There’s no pressure to have a breakthrough or explain yourself. Just the invitation to be with whatever shows up.

You Deserve Support Even When Things Look "Fine"

Whether you're navigating burnout, a sense of disconnection, or the quiet weight of "something's off," ketamine-assisted therapy can help you re-engage with your own inner knowing. You don't have to justify your pain or prove you're struggling enough. If you're curious, that’s reason enough to explore.

You don’t need a crisis to deserve healing. You just need a willingness to look inward—even if the reason why isn’t crystal clear yet.

Let’s start from there.
