Importance of a Well-Rounded Care Team
Though ketamine infusion therapy is effective on its own, research shows it is more effective when combined with other lifestyle changes or therapeutic methods.
At Avesta, we believe that having a trusted therapist and care team is essential to get the highest efficacy from your ketamine treatments. Ketamine integrative therapy gives patients a space to integrate thoughts and emotions that arise during their infusions with a mental health professional. Read more about the importance of psychotherapy for integration while undergoing ketamine therapy throughout our website.
If you are interested in learning more, please call us and we will get you all of the information you need to get started.

Uplift
One of the best ways to improve and accelerate healing is to combine ketamine infusion with traditional psychotherapy.
A dedicated and licensed therapist can help prepare and guide patients through the process more directly, and provide a safety anchor as one uncovers and experiences factors that create anxiety or negative feelings during treatment.
Avesta Ketamine and Wellness has partnered with UpLift to help clients find a therapist, if they don’t already have one. Make your treatment more effective. Match with a therapist on UpLift.
UpLift makes it easy to find and schedule virtual care sessions with a licensed therapist. They have a large network of locally licensed therapists who cover a wide range of specialties and accept most major insurance plans.
