Your Treatment: What to Expect Ketamine sessions take place in Wesley Ryan MD and Associates' office in one of two ways and routes of administration, as either: An intramuscular injection along with medical monitoring by Dr. Ryan the entire time, along with contemporaneous psychotherapy ("talk therapy") with him. These sessions last 1.5 hours (optionally 2 hours) and can be combined with a typical psychiatry follow-up visit for medication management. A sublingual troche that is taken with a psychotherapist (Erica Siegal, LCSW) present for the entire 2 hour appointment, along with contemporaneous psychotherapy. Sublingual troches typically do not require the same level of monitoring as an intramuscular injection, so monitoring by a physician is not required for such sessions. These treatments take place in a comfortable office, with a couch, music, and optional use of blindfolds. Discover more California Ketamine Clinics
