Ketamine + Integration Coaching

Ketamine Program (Ketamine + Integration Coaching)

At Scottsdale Ketamine Therapy Clinic, we take a holistic and comprehensive approach to ketamine therapy. Unlike many clinics that solely administer ketamine, we emphasize the importance of integration coaching to maximize the profound effects of treatment.

Ketamine can open a window of neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to form new connections and break free from entrenched thought patterns. However, for long-term transformation, the insights gained from ketamine therapy must be understood, processed, and applied to daily life. This is where integration coaching becomes invaluable.

We have partnered with Being True to You, a leading organization in psychedelic integration. Our program sponsors three hours of personalized integration coaching, broken into five sessions, including one preparation session and four post-infusion coaching calls. This structure ensures that patients are not just experiencing ketamine’s effects but are actively using their treatment for long-term healing and self-growth.

The goal of integration coaching is simple: transformation through intentional change. Patients uncover subconscious insights during their ketamine sessions, and the integration coach helps them apply these revelations in meaningful ways, whether that means changing habits, developing new coping strategies, or fostering deeper self-awareness.

What is the Neuroplasticity Window?

One of the most compelling aspects of ketamine therapy is its ability to enhance neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural pathways. This window of neuroplasticity is temporary, lasting for weeks to months following treatment, and it provides a unique opportunity to make profound changes in thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional processing.

Imagine your brain as a garden. For years, certain thought patterns—negative self-talk, anxiety loops, depressive rumination—have been watered and cultivated like weeds. Ketamine therapy temporarily disrupts those patterns, creating space for new growth. But without intentional effort, the weeds return. This is where integration coaching becomes essential.

During this window, the brain is more malleable, making it an ideal time to:

Replace negative thought cycles with healthier perspectives
Develop new coping mechanisms for stress, anxiety, and depression
Reinforce self-compassion and positive self-identity
Break free from destructive habits and emotional loops

Integration coaching guides patients through this process, helping them establish sustainable and lasting changes while their brain is most receptive to transformation.

How Integration Coaching Works

The integration process is not therapy in the traditional sense—it does not diagnose or prescribe—but instead serves as a guiding process that helps individuals extract meaning from their ketamine experiences and apply it to their lives.

Step 1: Preparation

Before ketamine infusions begin, patients meet with an integration coach for a one-hour preparation session. This session helps establish intentions, provides mental frameworks for the experience, and ensures the patient understands what to expect.

Step 2: Post-Infusion Integration

Following the first ketamine session, patients engage in four additional integration calls (30 minutes each) on days 1, 2, 4, and 6 post-treatment. These sessions focus on:

Processing the ketamine experience
Identifying key insights from the subconscious
Applying these insights in everyday life
Developing personalized strategies for continued healing

Patients are encouraged to implement one new habit or mindset shift after each session to reinforce the neuroplastic changes in their brain. These changes can be as simple as daily mindfulness practice, intentional journaling, or adjusting negative self-talk patterns—small but powerful steps that, over time, lead to substantial transformation.

Step 3: Continued Support

We highly recommend ongoing integration coaching beyond the initial sessions, ideally for at least three months post-treatment. Patients can continue with their integration coach for as long as they find value in the guidance, ensuring long-term success in their healing journey.

What Our Patients Say About Integration Coaching

Our patients tell us over and over that ketamine therapy with integration coaching was the secret that finally allowed them to conquer depression, make rapid progress, and feel like themselves again.

LET US HELP YOU

Other Conditions We Treat

Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety locks the brain in fear and overwhelm. Ketamine therapy helps by reopening blocked neural pathways, allowing your mind to process emotions more clearly and calmly. Unlike traditional treatments, it works quickly, often within days, offering real relief and renewed mental flexibility for those struggling with anxiety. Read more

Depression Treatment

While most depression is still treated with SSRIs or SNRIs, these medications work for less than half of patients and often come with side effects. Ketamine infusion therapy is an innovative approach that restores brain connections and offers fast, effective relief. Read more

PTSD Treatment

PTSD isn’t just about painful memories—it’s a rewiring of the brain caused by layers of trauma over time. This can lead to chronic stress, emotional numbness, and anxiety. Ketamine therapy helps by quickly resetting these patterns, allowing the brain to process trauma with less emotional intensity and greater clarity. Read more

Chronic Pain Treatment

Chronic pain lasts long after the body has healed, often rewiring the nervous system to keep sending pain signals. When traditional treatments fall short, ketamine offers a new path—helping to reset how the brain processes pain and providing relief for those living with constant or treatment-resistant discomfort. Read more

Migraine Treatment

Migraines are intense neurological events, not just severe headaches. When traditional treatments fail, ketamine offers a powerful alternative by targeting the brain’s pain pathways. It helps reset overactive nerve signals, reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines, and providing lasting relief for those with treatment-resistant migraine pain. Read more

Integration Coaching

Ketamine opens the door to deep healing by enhancing neuroplasticity, but lasting change comes from what happens after the infusion. Integration coaching helps patients process insights and apply them to real life. With guided support, individuals turn ketamine experiences into meaningful, long-term transformation and personal growth. Read more

Neuropathy Treatment

Neuropathic pain is caused by damaged nerves that constantly send pain signals, even without injury. Unlike traditional medications, ketamine works at the neurological level, calming overactive nerves and resetting pain pathways. This helps reduce persistent burning, tingling, and discomfort—offering long-term relief where other treatments often fall short. Read more

Fibromyalgia Treatment

Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain and fatigue, often resistant to traditional treatments. Ketamine offers a new approach by targeting the brain’s pain pathways, not just masking symptoms. When infused at low doses, it helps reset how the nervous system processes pain—providing real relief for those living with chronic discomfort. Read more

Stellate Ganglion Block

The Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a minimally invasive procedure that helps reset an overactive fight-or-flight response. By calming the sympathetic nervous system, SGB can rapidly reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress—often within minutes. It offers hope when traditional treatments haven’t provided lasting relief. Read more
