INTEGRATED PSYCHOTHERAPY

PARTNERSHIP THAT INTEGRATES OVERLAPPING APPROACHES

Growth-in-Connection

In psychotherapy, we work with people ready to face the burden of stuckness. What is daunting and overwhelming at first is the beginning of a process that ignites courage and access to innate creative intelligence.

WHOLEBEING: Our realities are shaped by multiple influences. A client-centered approach explores the interwoven intricacies of culture, personal experience, and biology. Through foundational alliance, clients gain critical insights and learn to integrate meaningful, self-directed change.

PARTNERSHIP THAT INTEGRATES OVERLAPPING APPROACHES

PSYCHOTHERAPY AMPLIFIED WITH AN EXPERIENTIAL TOOL

Psychedelically-Assisted Psychotherapy (like KAP) is an adjunct to standard forms of psychotherapy. Where standard single modality treatments have not been effective, the combined approach can help dislodge rigid beliefs and problematic locked-in patterns. By harnessing a molecularly-induced “expanded-state” of consciousness our aim is to help personalize meaning-making and change in the healing process.

We each experience blocks that can limit access our best qualities. An integrated “Bio-Psycho-Social” approach considers the full context of “dis-ease” and “dis-order” like a puzzle. It considers all aspects of “wholebeing” and explores your unique strength-based resiliency factors.

KAP with Essensuate Psychology Group is partnership in discovery of the “mindbody.” As clients chart a personal path toward clarity and purpose, they also learn to calibrate and re-discover their own innate healing capacity.

Partnership with “Psychotherapy-forward” prescribers”

in our practice, Ketamine is a legal, safe, and effective medicine

With a thorough eligibility review of each client, our medical affiliates ensure that KAP is a safe choice. Once cleared by physical medicine specialists, ketamine is prescribed in a controlled manner. Sessions and outcomes are monitored; Medical partners and psychotherapists maintain open, cross-disciplinary, communication.

It is critically important for KAP clients to make informed choices about their care. The standard-of-care modes of Ketamine administration include intravenous infusion (IV), intramuscular (IM), nasal spray, and oral methods with sublingual lozenges or rapidly dissolving tablets (RTD.) We trust each of our prescribers to work collaboratively with us regardless of the mode used in their practices. Each has its advantages and all typically invoke a rapidly-acting mood-enhancing quality that assists the psychotherapeutic process in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including treatment-resistant depression, disordered anxiety, chronic pain management, PTSD, complex grief, addiction, and other psychiatric conditions characterized by rigid thoughts or repetitive problematic repetitive behavior.

If this process actually worked, what would be different in my life?

Activating change depends on “inner work.” With fierce CURIOSITY and COURAGE, the incremental practice of new daily choices also calls for radical self compassion.

It is our great privilege to partner with people in an experiential process and support their “Post-traumatic growth.”

We are humbled by witnessing the unfolding strength in our clients

TESTIMONIALS

“It is overwhelming to put into words the impact Dr. Jodie has had on my life. Prior to working with her, I was disconnected from myself and numb. I was at the mercy of the ups and downs of life, and my behavior was erratic. Through our work, I have recovered from a longstanding eating disorder, have learned to manage PTSD after years of suppressing childhood sexual assault, and have survived suicidal ideation. Dr. Jodie has also helped me navigate a number of difficult medical diagnoses. This list does not begin to capture the enormity of my internal transformation from someone who believed I had little agency, worth, or value in this world, into a person who is deeply connected to, proud of, and in love with who I am every day. Today, I feel grounded and skilled to navigate both the difficulties and joys of life, excited to keep discovering, learning, adjusting, and readjusting as an individual, partner, friend, and family member. Though Jodie always reminds me that I am responsible for getting myself here, she has been the catalyst, guide, and teacher through this incredible journey.”

I.W. (30)

“Dr. Jodie is my most recent therapist in a lifetime spent jumping from doctor to doctor. And now, I can stop looking! Jodie has such an uncanny way of zeroing in on information, whether extracted by her insightful line of questioning or just by observation and connecting the dots. She is able to see patterns and expose underlying conflicts that may be affecting current behavior. She is the first therapist to present tangible, practical, pragmatic solutions to current problematic behavior or thinking. It is not an ivory tower situation. Additionally, she always treats me as a peer and the appointments seem more like meetings. I actually enjoy them and look forward to the next one each week. Jodie is a keeper!!!”

Lisa A. (47)

“What immediately resonated with me about Dr. Jodie’s approach is her integration of science-based therapeutic methods with a genuine understanding of me as a whole person. She has a keen sense of when to hold gentle space and when to challenge me to dig deeper. Our sessions are a place I feel safe, nurtured, and strong enough to face difficult and scary things. Moreover, I am in awe of the investment Dr. Jodie makes in our work and her practice as a therapist. She regularly shares relevant resources and new research in psychology and neurobiology that she has gleaned from her own commitment to learning via conferences and seminars. I am so deeply grateful for my time with Dr. Jodie and for the continued impact in every session.”
