Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT)

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy combines the therapeutic benefits of low-dose ketamine with psychotherapy to help individuals overcome mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It uses the transformative potential of ketamine to achieve rapid and sustained emotional healing.
Ketamine blocks the NMDA receptors in the brain, triggering the release of glutamate, which helps form new neural pathways. This process can improve mood, increase cognitive flexibility, and break patterns of negative thought, especially when paired with guided psychotherapy.
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is effective for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, chronic pain, and other mental health conditions that have not responded to traditional therapies.
During a session, ketamine is administered in a controlled setting under medical supervision. Patients may experience altered states of consciousness, such as dissociation or vivid imagery, which can lead to emotional breakthroughs when guided by a skilled therapist.
At MindBody Pivot, our process includes:
  • Preparation: Setting goals and preparing mentally for the session.
  • Facilitation: A guided ketamine experience with expert support.
  • Integration: Post-session counseling to process insights and ensure lasting results.
Yes, ketamine therapy is safe when administered in a clinical setting by trained professionals. Side effects, such as dizziness or nausea, are typically mild and temporary.

Many patients report noticeable improvements in mood and mental clarity within hours or days after their first session, making ketamine therapy a fast-acting option for treatment-resistant conditions.
Ketamine therapy may be a good fit if you are struggling with treatment-resistant mental health conditions or seeking breakthroughs that traditional therapies have not provided. Book a free consultation with Danna Skoy to discuss your specific needs and determine if this approach is right for you.

Neurofeedback Therapy

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training technique that monitors brainwave activity in real-time and provides feedback to help your brain regulate itself. Sensors placed on the scalp measure brainwaves, and the brain learns to make adjustments, improving focus, emotional control, and overall mental well-being.
In a typical session, you’ll sit comfortably with sensors attached to your scalp. As you watch a video or play a game on a screen, the system provides feedback to guide your brain toward healthier patterns. Each session lasts about 45 minutes and is completely non-invasive and pain-free.
Neurofeedback is effective for conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and sleep disorders. It can also help improve cognitive performance, emotional resilience, and stress management for those seeking optimal mental functioning.
Results vary by individual. Some people experience improvements after the first session, while others may require 6-7 sessions to notice significant changes. For long-term results, a minimum of 20 sessions is typically recommended.
Yes. Much like learning to ride a bike, the brain retains the new patterns it learns through Neurofeedback. Many people experience lasting improvements, though occasional “tune-ups” may be helpful for maintaining optimal results.
Most people experience positive changes, such as better focus, reduced anxiety, and improved sleep. Occasionally, minor side effects like headaches or restlessness may occur but are usually short-lived and easily addressed with additional training.
No. Neurofeedback is compatible with most medications. Over time, improvements in brain function may allow for adjustments to your medication under the guidance of your prescribing physician.
Neurofeedback is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
  • ADHD and learning disabilities
  • Anxiety and depression
  • PTSD and trauma
  • Sleep disorders
  • Migraines and chronic pain
  • Traumatic brain injuries
It is also beneficial for those looking to improve mental clarity, emotional resilience, and overall performance.
