EVIDENCE-BASED KETAMINE Therapy
A New Path Forward When Other Treatments Haven’t Worked
At Mindflow Therapy, we offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) as a compassionate, evidence-informed path for individuals in Westport, CT and surrounding areas who have not found lasting relief through traditional medications or therapy alone.
Depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Bipolar II depression, and addictions deserve more than symptom management. Our approach pairs the neuroplastic effects of oral ketamine with professional psychotherapy to create the conditions for genuine, lasting change.
If you’ve spent years cycling through treatments without the results you need, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy may offer the breakthrough you’ve been searching for.
Oral Ketamine
What Is Oral Ketamine?
Ketamine-assisted therapy utilizing oral ketamine is a clinically structured treatment in which a precisely calibrated dose of ketamine is taken in a supervised therapeutic setting.
Your oral ketamine is compounded by the pharmacy partnered with our medical provider, Journey Clinical. It is dispensed as a rapidly dissolving tablet that absorbs through the mucosal lining of the mouth.
The medication is prescribed specifically for you after a thorough medical evaluation and delivered directly to your home — no pharmacy visits required. You simply bring it with you to each session at our Westport, CT office.
Compared to intravenous ketamine infusions, the oral route offers a gentler, more gradual onset that many clients find significantly more physically comfortable. The medication creates a “mild high” and is much less disorienting than IV and intranasal methods.
Ketamine interacts with NMDA receptors to promote neuroplasticity, temporarily making the brain more adaptable so that entrenched patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior can be reshaped during therapy sessions.

At Mindflow Therapy, we are a therapy practice first. Ketamine opens the door. The real healing happens through the therapeutic process that follows.
Mental Health & Addiction Treatment
Conditions We Treat with Ketamine Therapy in Westport
We work with adults experiencing:
Anxiety Disorders
Generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder that interfere profoundly with daily functioning and have not responded adequately to conventional medication or therapy. Ketamine for anxiety works by disrupting the entrenched neurological loops that sustain chronic fear and hypervigilance, creating conditions in which new, healthier patterns can form and be reinforced through integration therapy.
Depression
Major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression, where two or more antidepressant medications have failed to produce adequate relief. Ketamine for depression works through a mechanism categorically distinct from conventional antidepressants, often producing noticeable relief within hours to days of the first session rather than the four to six weeks required by SSRIs.
PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder and complex PTSD, including hypervigilance, emotional numbing, and intrusive symptoms that persist despite prior trauma therapy. Ketamine for PTSD promotes neuroplasticity in precisely the neural circuits that trauma has dysregulated, creating a therapeutic opening that more direct trauma processing approaches cannot always provide.
Bipolar Disorder
Adjunctive ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for carefully evaluated individuals with bipolar depression who are already engaged in a stable mood stabilization plan. Suitability is assessed on a strictly individual basis, and an existing psychiatric care framework is a non-negotiable prerequisite.
OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder with intrusive thoughts and compulsive cycles that have not responded adequately to ERP therapy or SSRIs. Ketamine for OCD targets the glutamate system directly, making it a neurologically targeted approach to the underlying circuitry of the condition rather than a purely symptomatic one.
Addiction
Ketamine-assisted therapy is redefining addiction treatment by targeting the neurological origins of compulsive behavior. When paired with psychotherapy, it helps interrupt deeply ingrained cravings and opens space for authentic self-discovery, creating a clinically supported path toward sustainable, lasting recovery.
