Christian Integrative Therapy & Faith Based Approaches
Talk therapy is the most common form of psychotherapy and is useful to gain insight, awareness, reflection on the past, and identification of what's next to gain healing and understanding. Integrating faith adds more strength and depth to the therapeutic process which helps the client to stay connected to their beliefs of healing and restoration that aligns with their faith, values and beliefs.
While Christians hold true that only Christ can save, make whole and make new, the protocols and techniques employed in EMDR to help overcome traumatic experiences do not take away from or change the Christian's convictions about Christ.
-
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) & EMDR
KAP is mental health treatment that combines the therapeutic effects of Ketamine at low, controlled and supervised doses, prescribed by a physician, that’s integrated with psychotherapy that helps lower depression, process traumatic or grief promoting events, and other conditions like PTSD, anxiety, phobias and self-esteem challenges, eating disorders, OCD, more effectively than psychotherapy alone.
Combining EMDR & KAP increases neuroplasticity, the effective treatment of traumatic or negative events, and has been proven effective at lowering depression, evident in assessment scales scores, thereby increasing scores in wellness and sleep related assessment scales. Furthermore, engaging in intensive sessions (3-4 days) shortens the length of time in therapy and treatment.
