Saratoga, California - In a time when rates of depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders are at an all-time high, a groundbreaking treatment is offering renewed hope to those who have struggled with traditional therapies. The Couch is proud to announce the expansion of its advanced Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Program, an evidence-based, rapid-acting treatment that is changing the landscape of mental health care.

Unlike conventional antidepressants, which can take weeks to months to show results, ketamine therapy often provides relief within hours or days. Administered in a calm, medically supervised environment, ketamine works by enhancing neuroplasticity - helping the brain form new, healthy connections that support healing and emotional resilience.

“Many of our clients come to us after years of trying traditional treatments with little improvement,” said Stefanie Smith, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Clinical Director Founder at The Couch.“Ketamine therapy offers a new path forward - one that restores hope, helps patients reconnect with themselves, and reignites their capacity for joy.”

Research from leading institutions such as Yale, Stanford, and the National Institutes of Health continues to validate ketamine's transformative potential for conditions including major depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain. When combined with psychotherapy, patients often experience deeper emotional insight and sustained progress beyond symptom reduction.

What Sets The Couch Apart At The Couch, ketamine therapy is delivered by a compassionate team of licensed clinicians who specialize in integrative mental health. Each treatment plan is individualized and includes guided support before, during, and after each session to ensure lasting change.

“Ketamine therapy isn't just about symptom relief - it's about helping people rediscover meaning, purpose, and possibility,” added Stefanie Smith.“It's one of the most exciting advancements in mental health in decades.”
