Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can have a profound impact on mental health, affecting emotions, relationships, and daily life. Many individuals in Tustin struggle with persistent PTSD symptoms, even after trying conventional treatments such as antidepressants, therapy, and other medications.
For those searching for a more effective solution, ketamine therapy has emerged as a cutting-edge approach to PTSD treatment in Tustin. This innovative therapy works by stimulating neural growth and enhancing brain plasticity, allowing individuals to process trauma in a healthier way.
Unlike traditional treatments that may take weeks to show results, ketamine provides rapid relief, helping patients feel more balanced, clear-headed, and emotionally stable shortly after treatment. Rather than suppressing emotions, ketamine therapy helps patients reprocess trauma without overwhelming distress, allowing for long-term healing.
Many individuals report a reduction in anxiety, improved mood, and a renewed sense of well-being after ketamine therapy. When paired with psychotherapy, ketamine therapy in Tustin offers a powerful path toward lasting PTSD recovery.
If you’re searching for PTSD treatment in Tustin, schedule a free consultation today to discover how ketamine-assisted therapy can help you regain control over your mental health and find peace.

Ketamine works by modulating the glutamate system in the brain, specifically blocking NMDA receptors. This reduces overactivity in the brain’s fear and stress pathways, which are often heightened in PTSD. Additionally, ketamine stimulates the growth of new neural connections, improving emotional regulation and helping patients process traumatic memories more effectively.
Ketamine has shown promise in treating various forms of PTSD, including combat-related PTSD, childhood trauma, and PTSD caused by accidents or abuse. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with treatment-resistant PTSD who have not responded to traditional therapies like SSRIs or trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
Many patients experience relief from PTSD symptoms within hours to days after a ketamine session. Unlike traditional treatments, which can take weeks or months to show results, ketamine provides rapid improvement, making it especially helpful for severe or acute cases of PTSD.
Ketamine is most commonly administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion in a controlled clinical setting. The treatment is tailored to each individual’s needs, and sessions are supervised by medical professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Ketamine’s side effects may include dissociation, dizziness, nausea, or temporary increases in blood pressure. These effects are typically mild and short-lived, occurring during or shortly after the session. Treatments are conducted under medical supervision to minimize risks and provide a safe, supportive environment.
Obsessive Compulsive disorder (OCD) is unfortunately resistant to many forms of medical treatment including both medication and therapy.
Ketamine has been shown to be an effective, fast acting, safe option for patients with OCD. Over the course of the Ketamine infusions (2-4 weeks) neuroplasticity can lead to a change or abatement in the intrusive, repetitive thoughts and behaviors that typify OCD.
When combined with our unique post infusion integration process, patients with severe OCD can see profound relief of their symptoms.

“There is extensive research currently being done on this topic. I can say from personal experience as a practicing Board Certified Pain Medicine Physician, I have had patients with chronic pain, including fibromyalgia, who have had significant relief of their symptoms with Ketamine assisted therapy. With that said, Ketamine assisted therapy will definitely not work for everyone with chronic pain, and each patient will require a thorough evaluation to ensure they are an adequate candidate for a trial of Ketamine assisted therapy for relief of their chronic pain” -Dr. Justin Yanuck.
The current evidence of Ketamine assisted therapy for chronic pain is fairly mixed. The majority of studies only looked at ketamine infusion without any assisted psychotherapy.
Ketamine has the ability to lead to relief on its own (and the mechanisms for this have been well studied). We feel quite strongly that the real potential for Ketamine to provide relief, especially for chronic pain patients, is when combined with psychotherapy. Psychotherapy allows the individual to process their experience and build off this experience to lead to new psychological frameworks for processing both internal and external stimuli.
Pain is complex, and Ketamine assisted psychotherapy is not one-size-fits-all. Our treatment plan gives patients with treatment-resistant chronic pain and even opiate dependance a chance to try a different and effective treatment.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a major public health concern, affecting up to 7% of Americans.
As many as half of all Americans with PTSD get inadequate relief from traditional treatments which include antidepressants, antipsychotics, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Ketamine combined with psychotherapy has been shown to be very effective at reducing the symptoms of PTSD. These effects last well beyond its near immediate relief.
Many mechanistic actions for how Ketamine works in PTSD have been proposed.
Ketamine allows people to reacquaint themselves with their past inciting trauma from an emotionally neutral perspective. Ketamine will not make you forget about the trauma. It can allow you to acknowledge its occurrence in a neutral way in order to not be continually re-traumatized by thinking about it.
Depending on the patient, outcomes can be noticed almost immediately with a sense of lightness and joy. Ketamine followed by psychotherapy has been shown to lead to significant relief of the burdens of PTSD.

Traditional treatments for anxiety will often either work poorly, have addictive properties, or severe side effects including brain fog and drowsiness. Furthermore, these treatments tend to have reduced efficacy over time, and lead to only transient relief of symptoms.
Ketamine, when combined with our novel integrative psychotherapy, can lead to significant relief of anxiety.
During the ketamine infusion and integration process, patients will often get a better understanding of their anxiety, and are able to reframe many of the triggers that often provoke their anxiety.
Ketamine has properties that allow for rewiring of the brain (new synapse formation and repair of existing synapses). Ketamine allows people to effect changes into their own lives. It shows people that they have the power to heal from within and take control of their relationship with anxiety.

Ketamine has been shown to be extremely effective and safe for patients with depression and treatment resistant depression (those who fail to get relief from two or more antidepressants).
Ketamine is highly effective at rapidly (within 2-8 hours) reducing depressive symptoms. Traditional antidepressants often take weeks to months to work.
Many traditional antidepressants have side effects including reduced libido, weight gain, GI upset, mood disturbances, and unfortunately require daily use for months to years.
Many antidepressants, even if they do work, require you to be on them for years, if not for the rest of your life.
Ketamine treatment has been shown in most patients to lead to resolution of symptoms without the need for any further medications.
Ketamine is not a medication meant to be taken for the rest of your life. The goal is to provide sustained relief after the completion of a set treatment plan. This is accomplished by combining the actions of Ketamine in the brain with psychotherapy. Additional enhancement sessions available as needed.
Unfortunately, there is a significant subset of patients that do not get significant relief from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy. Ketamine acts as a catalyst to stimulate a patient’s innate capacity for psychological healing. This allows patients to overcome past experiences and learned behavior to truly heal. Ketamine, combined with therapists who are specifically trained to work with psychedelic therapies, can lead to profound breakthroughs and deep psychological healing.
