Ketamine therapy Virginia is now available online through Mind Body Well Therapy, PLLC. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or chronic stress—and talk therapy hasn’t helped enough—ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) may offer a new way forward.

We support adults across Virginia through secure telehealth. Our specialty is working with highly sensitive adults and professionals who are feeling stuck, burned out, or emotionally fatigued.

With guidance from a trained therapist, ketamine therapy can help reset patterns, ease reactivity, and build resilience.

Led by Lucrezia Mangione, a licensed psychotherapist and certified KAP provider, our sessions are fully virtual and trauma-informed. Each step blends neuroscience with deep respect for your experience

What Is Ketamine Therapy Virginia?

Ketamine therapy uses low-dose ketamine in a structured therapeutic setting. It is legally prescribed and supported by research. Studies show ketamine may boost neuroplasticity and emotional flexibility by acting on NMDA receptors and the default mode network in the brain.

In Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), you’re supported before, during, and after dosing. This process can soften entrenched thought loops and increase emotional insight.

People are searching for ketamine therapy Virginia because they want care that combines medicine and therapy. KAP offers an integrative option that is more relational than medication alone.

How Ketamine Therapy Works Online

1. Free Consultation
We start with a no-pressure call to explore if KAP is a fit for you.

2. Intake Session
This full therapy session helps assess your mental health history and readiness.

3. Medical Screening
A licensed prescriber determines medical eligibility and may prescribe oral ketamine.

4. Preparation Sessions
These 1–3 sessions help you set goals, feel safe, and understand what to expect.

5. Dosing Sessions (2 hours)
You take ketamine lozenges at home during a virtual session. Your therapist supports you live via telehealth.

6. Integration Therapy
Follow-up sessions help process the experience and apply insights in daily life.

7. Ongoing Support (Optional)
You may continue KAP or transition to holistic therapy, depending on your needs.
