Jaclyn has completed training through Fluence certifying her ability to provide Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in partnership with Journey Clinical.

KAP is a safe, holistic, and effective approach to healing that incorporates both traditional psychotherapy and the use of Ketamine to promote healing through increasing neuroplasticity (creating new neural networks within the brain to facilitate long-term change). Ketamine has a rapidly acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hours following treatment and last up to two weeks. Ketamine works on specific receptors within the brain which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood, resulting in long term healing. KAP has been shown to be effective for a variety of symptoms/disorders, including but not limited to, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD/trauma, bipolar disorder, OCD, and addiction.

Jaclyn has completed a Brainspotting Phase 1 and Phase 2 training along with the required consultation hours to qualify her as a certified Brainspotting practitioner, substantiating her ability to provide this highly effective and transformative treatment. Jaclyn utilizes this modality in conjunction with EMDR to provide all-encompassing trauma treatment and assist clients to heal from the inside out.

In a recent study of individuals impacted by the Sandy Hook tragedy, Brainspotting was found to be the most effective mode of therapy. This study looked at 16 different approaches and utilized the respondent’s self-report. BSP is also derived from EMDR, a highly researched modality that has proven to be evidenced based. Jaclyn uses a hybrid version of these two highly effective and transformative treatments to provide all encompassing therapy to those seeking long-term healing.
