Psychotherapy
Individual therapy is a safe and confidential space that is focused on supporting you achieve your personal goals towards wellbeing. Whether you are seeking to get to the roots of distress, heal from past trauma, or develop healthier relationships, therapy can help you gain deeper insights into yourself and develop healthy coping strategies to face life’s challenges.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine is a powerful medicine that can invoke psychedelic experiences. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an evidenced-based intervention for the treatment of depression, trauma, and a wide array of other mental health issues. Sydney uses ketamine as a tool to help client bring subconscious material to the conscious and help people get unstuck from patterns and beliefs that no longer serve them.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-focused therapy developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. It is based on the understanding that trauma and chronic stress can disrupt the natural balance of the autonomic nervous system. SE emphasizes the importance of restoring this balance by helping individuals become more aware of their bodily sensations and gradually releasing the stored stress and trauma.
Through SE, you can expect to increase awareness of you body, improve emotional regulation, and process your trauma on a deeper level.
Psychedelic Integration
Psychedelic medicines can invoke complex, potentially life-altering experiences. Whether your psychedelic experiences are blissful, challenging, or likely a mix of both, theraputic integration can support you in making meaning of those experiences to foster growth and healing.
Especially if you are feeling confused or lonely after a psychedelic experience, having someone to support you in navigating any insights or challenges can be an invaluable step to integrating those experiences into your daily life.
An important note:
With the exception of Ketamine work, Sydney does not offer access to or recommendations where to find psychedelic medicines or guides due to the illegal designation of these substances at this time. For people who are already choosing to work with these mind-altering substances, Sydney is available to help people prepare for those journeys and integrate those experiences afterwards as an application of harm reduction principles.
