Expert Ketamine Therapy
in Portland, Oregon
Imagine stepping out of the story you feel stuck in, and creating something better for your life. Ketamine is a powerful catalyst, activating your inner healer and guiding you on a transformative journey toward lasting change.
How Ketamine Therapy Works
Ketamine works by enhancing neuroplasticity and reducing brain inflammation.
At psychedelic doses, ketamine quiets the brain’s “default mode network,” creating space for a fresh perspective on your life, struggles, and joys. While journeys can be uplifting and beautiful, they can also be challenging. Your inner healer brings forward what you need, at the right time.
A compassionate Empathy Grove practitioner will be with you throughout the process, offering full presence and support, holding space for your journey, and trusting your inner wisdom to guide the way. Together, we’ll help you reconnect with the joy within you.
Your Ketamine Therapy Healing Journey
Typically, treatment plans involve 2 to 6 ketamine journeys in Portland, Oregon, in close succession, with an optional booster journey after 6–12 weeks. Once your initial series is complete, you may be eligible to join a group ketamine experience. Here’s an outline of what to expect:
Intake Sessions
We begin with one 30-minute intake session for medical and and psychological screening, to ensure ketamine is the best fit for your needs. During these sessions, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan.
Preparatory Therapy Session
You’ll meet with your practitioner for a 1-hour non-ketamine session to discuss your inner landscape, set intentions, and prepare for your journey.
Ketamine Journeys & Integration
Each ketamine journey includes a 3-hour session, providing ample time to ease in and out of the medicine space. A 1-hour integration session follows within a few days to help you process insights and solidify growth.
Follow-Up Integration
After completing your series of sessions, a follow-up integration session will focus on next steps, ongoing therapy, and additional support as needed.

“I received ketamine-assisted therapy with her for major depression and had very positive, meaningful results. I feel genuinely seen and supported throughout the process and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking ketamine therapy or integrative mental health care.”

“If you are on the fence about trying ketamine therapy, take the chance. As soon as I met Dr. Amy, I felt safe. She has walked me through many ketamine journeys and helped transform my trauma work along with my treatment team. Ketamine has absolutely changed my life and Dr. Amy is included in that. 100/10 recommend both.”

“Ketamine therapy has helped me be easier on myself and less anxious. I didn’t know it was possible to have a break from constant thinking, but now I find more space between my thoughts. Where I used to obsess over conversations, I can let them go and sleep peacefully. These subtle changes have made a big difference in my life.”
