Ketamine Treatments
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), also known as Ketamine-assisted integrated psychotherapy (KAIP), has been found to help with depression, PTSD, addiction, and significant life changes. It is a deeply transformational and introspective process. While many clinics offer ketamine IV drips, Milestone provides ketamine with the powerful addition of guided support and talk therapy within the framework of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. The journey is uniquely yours, but we will be with you and supporting you along the way.
Our licensed and certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Tisha Romero, and our Trauma therapist, Tara Mullan, offer Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy at our clinic in Phoenix, AZ.

Understanding Ketamine
Ketamine is an “off-label” treatment for various chronic “treatment-resistant” mental health conditions. It is a Schedule III medication that has long been used safely as an anesthetic and analgesic agent and is now utilized for treating depression, alcoholism, substance dependencies, PTSD, and other psychiatric diagnoses, as well as for existential, psychological, and spiritual crises and growth.
Ketamine is classified as a dissociative anesthetic (dissociation meaning a sense of disconnection from one’s ordinary reality and usual sense of self). At the doses administered to you, you will most likely experience mild anesthetic, anxiolytic, antidepressant, and possibly psychedelic effects. When combined with therapeutic support and processing by our licensed therapist Tara Mullen, it can be possible to view life circumstances from new perspectives, connect to emotions, and open up to new possibilities.
