EMDR THERAPY SERVICES
One Hour EMDR Therapy Sessions
Our first session will involve an assessment, where I learn a bit more about you and you learn a bit more about me. Together we come up with a treatment plan where we will write out clear goals that are attainable. From there we will meet once a week for an hour and work on achieving your goals. At any point throughout this process, if you wish to have an EMDR intensive session, we can schedule that as we go.
EMDR Intensive Sessions
Our first session will involve an assessment, where I learn a bit more about you and you learn a bit more about me. We will create a treatment plan and goals for treatment. From there, we will schedule sessions that last anywhere from 2 hours to 4 hours. The benefit of this method is that you reach your goals sooner and can start living the life you envisioned for yourself sooner.
EMDR THERAPY
You have those funny memories from the past that you share at family events, barbecues with your friends, and with your significant other. Those are not the only memories you have. There are more memories, memories that you don’t share, past experiences you try to stuff down because when you think of them your stomach drops, you get a tightness in your chest, or your whole body feels warm and tense. You find yourself irritable, snappy, and short with the people around you. All of this leads to maladaptive ways to cope such as avoidance, isolation, and over indulgence (work, substances, food, sex, ect). You’ve made several attempts to make changes in your life to get your life back on track and that might include attempts at going to therapy, creating a schedule, increasing healthy habits, but you fall into the same old patterns. This creates a sense of hopelessness, loneliness, shame, and guilt. You want to be better, for yourself and for your loved ones.
Imagine a life where you can connect with yourself without feeling a pit in your stomach, a tightness in your chest, or a warm tense sensation throughout your body. You are no longer trying to avoid yourself and others and you can trust yourself and those around you. You are connected to yourself, your family, your children, and your friends while actually feeling closeness, joy, and love. You are able to be in the present moment, make clear decisions, and follow through with goals, and have a felt sense of accomplishment. You are able to feel the entire spectrum of emotions, including the positive ones instead of only the painful ones. Through the therapy process, you will uncover those positive characteristics that make you you, and do away with the characteristics that are not serving you.
We believe that trauma is at the core of pain and suffering. With a gentle and empathetic approach to treatment, we help guide you to a healthier version of you. We specialize in the treatment of trauma and we are trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. We offer one hour EMDR therapy sessions as well as EMDR Intensive sessions.
KETAMINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a profound and transformative healing
journey that integrates the spiritual, emotional, and psychological realms. At its
core, KAP uses the sacred potential of ketamine, a medicine known for its ability to
facilitate deep states of consciousness, in combination with the compassionate
guidance of psychotherapy.
Ketamine, originally used as an anesthetic, has revealed its ability to lift the veil
between the conscious and subconscious, allowing for deep emotional release and
spiritual awakening. In low, therapeutic doses, ketamine helps to dissolve the ego’s
grip, creating space for inner exploration, connection with higher consciousness,
and the healing of past traumas, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more.
By enhancing neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to forge new, harmonious
pathways—ketamine opens the mind and heart to a higher state of being. The
dissociative state it creates is not just a psychological experience but a sacred
space, mirroring the essence of ancient spiritual practices, where one can access
deeper truths, clarity, and personal transformation.
KAP invites individuals to go beyond surface-level healing, unlocking a path to
wholeness, self-discovery, and spiritual growth.
Why Choose Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
KAP is more than just a treatment—it is a gateway to deep, spiritual healing and
transformation. As traditional mental health approaches evolve, KAP stands at the
forefront of holistic wellness, offering a sacred, science-supported path for those
seeking to overcome emotional pain and reconnect with their higher selves.
KAP combines the wisdom of cutting-edge medicine with the soulful depth of
therapeutic exploration, creating a space where true healing unfolds. It goes
beyond merely relieving symptoms; it invites personal transformation by opening
the heart, mind, and spirit to profound insights and inner peace.
Choosing KAP is choosing a journey into self-awareness, spiritual growth, and
lasting change. It speaks to the soul’s desire for wholeness, offering rapid relief and a deeper connection to one’s true essence. Through the healing potential of KAP,
you can communicate a message of hope, renewal, and the boundless possibilities
of a more awakened and harmonious life.
Benefits of Group Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Deep Healing
KAP goes beyond symptom management. Ketamine can help unlock difficult emotions and traumas, allowing for deeper healing and long-lasting positive changes in mental and physical well-being.
Accelerated Therapeutic Progress
Ketamine enhances neuroplasticity, helping the brain form new, positive pathways more efficiently. In a group setting, participants gain additional insights from hearing others’ breakthroughs, speeding up individual progress and boosting overall outcomes.
Suitable for Treatment-Resistant Conditions
KAP has shown great promise for people suffering from Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD), PTSD, OCD, and substance use disorders—conditions that may not have responded to traditional therapies or medications.
Enhanced Healing Through Shared Experience
Group settings foster a sense of connection and community, allowing participants to share their journeys in a safe, supportive space. This collective experience can deepen emotional healing and create meaningful bonds with others who understand similar struggles.
Strengthened Therapeutic Integration
Group discussions following ketamine sessions provide a unique opportunity for individuals to integrate their experiences in real-time, with input from both peers and skilled facilitators. This reinforces the lessons learned during the session and promotes lasting change.
Reduction in Isolation
Mental health challenges like depression, PTSD, or addiction can feel
isolating. Group ketamine therapy helps participants feel less alone by connecting with others on similar journeys. This sense of belonging can enhance motivation and resilience.
Professional Facilitation
Each session is led by experienced therapists, ensuring that both the
ketamine experience and the group dynamic are skillfully guided to maximize therapeutic value. Group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines the powerful effects of ketamine with the healing power of community, offering a unique and transformative path to mental and physical wellness.

WALK & TALK THERAPY
Imagine your feet beneath your body as you move through a clear path ahead, walking underneath the umbrella of green trees, surrounded by green space, and breathing in the fresh New Hampshire air. Walking the path with you, is your therapist, helping you navigate some of the challenges you face in your life. You are feeling the mental benefits of therapy and the physical benefits of movement. For the first time in a long time, you are feeling well again.
People often think that therapy must be contained to the walls of an office.This is one way to participate in therapy, but it is not the only way. While containment can feel safe and comforting to some, others may feel uncomfortable sitting directly across from a therapist. In cases like this, your therapist might suggest leaving the office to conduct the therapy sessions outside. Incorporating movement like walking, can reduce stress and allow you to reach your therapeutic goals.
Some of the benefits of Walk and Talk Therapy include a reduction in cortisol levels, positive rapport building, metaphors related to the outdoors and moving forward, and a promotion of creative thinking. Some people report feeling more comfortable with their therapist, feeling motivated outside of session to continue walking, and developing a sense of importance for being outside. Walk and Talk Therapy has the potential to assist you with your therapeutic process while also promoting overall wellness in your life.
If being in nature during a therapy session appeals to you, it can look and feel different than a traditional office setting. A destination will be chosen ahead of time, such as a park or a walking/bike path, where you can meet your therapist for your session. Your therapist will guide the outdoor experience and allow you to explore challenging topics while quite literally moving forward.
