Services
Virtual Therapy
Virtual therapy is a convenient effective way for clients receive therapy from the comfort of own home. Research shown that virtual therapy just as effective as in-person therapy, and all therapeutic approaches can be utilized during virtual sessions. This allows clients to receive the same level of care and support as they would in an in-person therapy setting.
Ketamine Assistance Therapy
In the future, Bernard is in the process of providing Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is a type of treatment for mental health disorders that combines the use of the anesthetic drug ketamine with traditional talk therapy.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which relies on the verbal exchange between patient and therapist to explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, KAP includes a pharmacological component that can facilitate a deeper exploration of the patient’s inner world.
One of the key differences between traditional talk therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is the speed and intensity of the therapeutic process.
Traditional talk therapy can take months or even years to produce meaningful change, while ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can produce rapid and significant improvements in mood and functioning after just a few sessions.
In Person Therapy
