Hollywood, CA – There are millions of Americans that suffer from depression and anxiety, many of whom don’t respond to standard medication, like antidepressants. Approximately one-third of all patients fail to show any signs of improvement and remain symptomatic even after several treatments. The California Center for Psychedelic Therapy offers alternative treatments for people struggling with chronic depression, PTSD, and bipolar depression. The practice is comprised of passionate experts in the field of psychedelic therapy that will create an evidence-based treatment plan specific to each individual client.

The team at the California Center for Psychedelic Therapy specializes in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, trauma-focused therapy, transpersonal therapy, depth psychotherapy, psychedelic or entheogenic integration, and psychedelic consultations. A spokesperson for the practice said, “Our vision is to provide the gold standard in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies, innovative psychiatry, and complementary practices.  Our mission is to utilize our unique expertise, ongoing research, and clinical experience in this field to bring forward and refine new safe and effective methods of treatment to help our clients and our communities find relief and thrive.”

Ketamine was introduced in the 1960s during the Vietnam war as a powerful anesthetic to relieve the pain of soldiers injured on the battlefield. People soon found that when used in high doses, the drug causes vivid hallucinations and feelings of calmness. As a result, a lot of people started abusing ketamine as it spread in popularity as a party drug during the 70s. It wasn’t until after it became a controlled Schedule III substance in 1999, that ketamine was acknowledged for its therapeutic and antidepressant properties. Recent studies suggest that the profound psychedelic experience ketamine provides is in itself healing.

The California Center for Psychedelic Therapy provides ketamine therapy in Los Angeles. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) can instantly reduce depression as it has shown to have many positive effects on what’s known as the glutamate system, it produces proteins that can repair and create connections in the brain’s neural networks through a process called synaptic plasticity. The practice focuses on developing balanced self-awareness, healthy communication skills, and emotional intelligence as well as reducing all trauma, anxiety, depression and other types of emotional dysregulation.
