Psychedelic Psychotherapy in Nashville TN
ASSISTED
The use of psychedelic substances, such as Ketamine, psilocybin, ayahuasca, and MDMA, have been at the heart of the trauma-healing and mental health debate for decades. More recently, the growing number of clinical studies from well respected universities have continued to shed light onto the field of psychedelic psychotherapy and their benefit for the treatment of PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction and more.
This healing journey begins with a Consultation Call with one of our KAP therapists, click below to Get Started. During this call, you and our KAP therapist will determine if KAP is a good fit for you and you can get started.
We are seeing a number of Ketamine offerings in our community and, with more clinical trials underway, we will soon see the addition of psilocybin and MDMA onto the wellness landscape in Nashville. As a result of these research studies, clinical trials, and the growing interest in psychedelics to assist in the healing of trauma, we engaged in programmatic study, through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI), in the field of psychedelic psychotherapy and are currently offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Our studies through IPI included over 250+ hours of learning under Dr. Rick Doblin, Michael Pollan, Dr. Gabor Mate, and others.
At Simply Being, we believe in the importance of specialized treatment for clients struggling with trauma and mood related concerns such as depression and anxiety. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is one of these treatments, and we believe KAP can have a positive impact on a client’s health and wellbeing. For this reason, we feel a sense of responsibility in offering Ketamine as the clinical trials suggest–with a psychotherapeutic component and in depth integration.

KAP for Couples
Ketamine has been used safely in medicine since the 1960s and is now one of the most studied medications in psychiatry, with strong evidence supporting its use for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicidal thinking.
While ketamine is often known for its temporary dissociative effects, what makes it especially interesting in couples work has less to do with those experiences and more to do with flexibility.
In 2024, a review published in Frontiers in Psychiatry proposed the first formal framework for Couples KAP. This research suggests that ketamine temporarily increases neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form and reorganize connections—creating a window over the following days when new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating may become easier to develop. Think of it as briefly softening clay that has already hardened.
That flexibility can support each of the core pillars of couples work:
• Behaviors begin to shift. As defensiveness softens, vulnerability often feels safer, making new ways of relating more possible.
Couples KAP tends to be a good fit for partners who remain invested in one another, are open to an evidence-informed but unconventional approach, and are ready to go deeper than insight alone. It may be especially meaningful when one or both partners are also carrying depression, anxiety, or trauma.
It is not a miracle or a shortcut.
When appropriate, either model is integrated into ongoing couples therapy at Simply Being. The medicine supports the therapy—it doesn’t replace it.
Couples KAP represents one of the more hopeful new developments in relationship care and we are excited to be offering this service.

What Is Integration?
One of the most important aspects, stemming from the clinical trials, has been the effective and essential nature of “integration.”
Integration refers to the process by which an individual integrates the insights of their experience into their life. The process holds space for making sense out of our experience, filtering the content of the journey, and accommodating the experience by making lasting change.
In our society, unlike many indigenous cultures, we have not collectively considered the notion of integration. And, yet, the studies all agree that it is an essential step in the healing journey.
Simply Being offers individual preparation and integration sessions for clients engaged in psychedelic assisted therapies. Our therapists are highly trained psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and in a variety of holistic modalities that highlight the mind & body connection and increase the effectiveness of integration.
These include:
Somatic Experiencing
EMDR
Mindfulness and Breath Practice
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Jungian Psychology
Therapeutic Sound Healing
During our integration sessions, your therapist will employ a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities to help you accommodate the new psychedelic experience into your life.
