An individualized approach is essential to maximizing the benefits seen with ketamine. Many patients benefit tremendously from incorporating therapy into their treatment plans. However, this is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The delivery method of the ketamine, expertise in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and dosing, as well as the timing of the therapy can make tremendous differences in the success of treatment.
Our team is extensively trained and experienced, allowing us to customize treatment plans to yield the best possible results.
We offer a variety of therapy styles and options to compliment ketamine therapy, and this approach is customized to each patient.
We also offer an expertise in administering several different routes of administration – intravenous, intramuscular, intranasal, and oral ketamine.
We strive to give each patient the best chance at reaching remission from their symptoms.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is an intensive psychotherapeutic experience that can result in rapid improvement in depression, anxiety, suicidality and other psychiatric conditions. Ketamine can help to enhance and deepen the therapeutic process. It can provide an opportunity for the temporary softening of defenses to allow for deeper processing through psychotherapy. Patients can also experience profound transpersonal experiences that can offer important insights.
Psychotherapy sessions involving ketamine can be done in two different ways:
Bita Tabasi, LPC, is a dedicated and skilled clinician specializing in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), with a strong foundation in interventional psychiatric care. For over seven years, she has worked closely with Dr. Sandhya Prashad—a nationally recognized leader and pioneer in the field—initially as part of the clinical team during her graduate training and continuing through full licensure. This long-standing collaboration has given Bita a uniquely rich perspective on advanced treatment modalities and patient-centered care.
Bita has provided more than 1,000 hours of direct ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and plays a key role in supporting patients undergoing intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) ketamine, as well as Spravato® (esketamine) treatment. She works in close coordination with Dr. Prashad, who administers the medical component of care, to customize each patient’s therapeutic experience based on their history, diagnosis, and individual goals.
She completed her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Houston–Clear Lake and has since advanced her expertise through multiple Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy trainings, notably the advanced program led by Phil Wolfson, MD, at the Ketamine Training Center. In addition to her work with KAP, Bita is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and offers couples therapy and group psychotherapy—providing a broad, integrative approach to healing.
Bita is known for her warm, grounded presence and for creating emotionally safe, nonjudgmental spaces where clients feel supported in their therapeutic journey. Her approach blends clinical expertise with compassion and relational insight, helping individuals work through trauma, depression, anxiety, and complex relationship dynamics.
Ketamine assisted psychotherapy is also offered by Laura Wiginton, LCSW.
