Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Client Testimonial

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy client testimonial

Since adding Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy to our repertoire of services, we have seen a significant change in those clients who have begun treatment. We have found that clients who have treatment resistant depression & anxiety, sever trauma, and PTSD have responded dramatically. Below is a testimonial from one of our recent clients experience with this therapy. We hope to have many more experiences, just like this clients, in the future.

 

I have been struggling with a chronic eating disorder for 7 years and after I completed Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) with Growing Roots, a great weight came off my shoulders. I felt intense clarity, emotions, realizations, and gratitude during my sessions. It was like a door was opened in my mind and suddenly I could access feelings and memories I was harboring. Since the completion of the treatment, my eating disorder urges have remarkedly declined and my ability to sit with my emotions without being self-destructive has improved significantly. I feel so grateful that my therapist recommended me for this therapy and I hope others who need it take advantage of the benefits KAP has to offer.

Bryan Randolph LICSW, Growing Roots director of training and development, recently spoke as part of panel discussion for a parent workshop at the Holderness Central School.

This workshop was for parents of new middle school students and focused on adolescent development. Bryan provided a clinical perspective on what parents/guardians can expect during their child's middle school years.

Bryan focused on expected developmental challenges/behaviors vs pathological behaviors and when to seek outside help. Bryan also discussed the challenges of parenting in the digital age and spoke about strategies for managing technology and social media use and ways to set effective boundaries and expectations.

There are plans to have more of these types of presentations. If you are interested in joining, please reach out to Bryan via email or sign up for our newsletter to stay connected.
