Experiential Depth Psychotherapy

Amanda Morrison 

I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as a specialized pathway within an ongoing therapeutic relationship. This work is offered as an integrated clinical process that includes preparation, facilitated ketamine sessions, and ongoing integration, held within a steady psychotherapeutic frame. Throughout the process, there is close attention to safety, pacing, consent, and the therapeutic relationship.

I have completed specialized training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy through Polaris Insight Center and Fluence, and I work within established clinical and ethical guidelines for psychedelic-assisted care.

This work can be especially supportive for individuals experiencing depression, trauma, anxiety, or longstanding relational and emotional patterns that have not shifted through talk therapy alone.

A carefully facilitated, depth-oriented approach to working with entrenched patterns

KETAMINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

Ketamine sessions are approached with careful preparation, with attention to set and setting, nervous system regulation, and relational safety. Additional time is scheduled for the dosing sessions and during these sessions, I remain present and attuned throughout, supporting emotional and somatic experience as it unfolds during the journey.

Ketamine may open access to emotions, memories, or perspectives that can feel less accessible in traditional talk therapy. The pace of the work is intentionally slow and contained, allowing experiences to be metabolized rather than rushed or overwhelming.

How Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Works 

My approach to ketamine-assisted psychotherapy emphasizes preparation, relational presence, and integration as central to the healing process. This is especially important for individuals with developmental trauma or attachment wounds, where safety, continuity, and attuned relationship are essential for change to be sustained.
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is offered in collaboration with licensed medical providers who oversee medical screening, prescribing, and safety monitoring. Clients complete a comprehensive medical intake prior to participation, and care is coordinated within a collaborative framework that supports both physical safety and psychological integrity.
Integration sessions support embodiment and meaning-making so that insights can translate into changes in relationship, self-understanding, and daily life.

Nature-Based Psychedelic Integration 

In addition to ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, my work is informed by a longstanding engagement with ecotherapy and nature-based approaches to healing. For some clients, psychedelic integration may include attention to experiences in relationship with the natural world—supporting meaning-making, embodiment, and a sense of connection that extends beyond the individual self.

This work is always approached with care, ethical consideration, and clinical discernment, and is integrated only when appropriate to the client’s goals, history, and nervous system capacity.




  • Increased access to emotional experience and internal states
  • Greater flexibility in long-standing relational or emotional patterns
  • Relief from depressive or anxious states that have not shifted through talk therapy alone
  • Deeper self-understanding and compassion
  • Integration of insight into daily life, relationships, and embodiment
  • A renewed sense of possibility, meaning, or connection




Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy may be especially supportive if you are:
  • Experiencing depression, trauma, or anxiety
  • Feeling stuck in longstanding emotional or relational patterns
  • Curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy within a careful, relational framework
  • Seeking a process that prioritizes safety, integration, and depth over quick fixes

This work tends to resonate with people who value a psychotherapeutic approach where the medicine supports, rather than replaces, the relational healing process.
