We understand your pain
Chronic pain is extremely complex, as it often includes emotional components as well as its physical components. The emotional aspects of pain are very real, and are intertwined with the physiological ones. Patients experiencing chronic pain often have severe physical tension in their bodies as well as emotional effects of chronic pain. All too often individuals felt diminished or dismissed by others who don’t understand the experience of chronic pain.

Does Ketamine Help With Chronic Pain?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine-assisted therapy is an advanced treatment that has been shown to be effective for complex mental health issues. The Acheron team, which specializes in individualized treatment for chronic pain and other issues, has expertise in this unique medical therapy, especially when other treatments have not succeeded.
Find out more about ketamine-assisted therapy
Acheron is a psychiatrist-led, multi-therapist practice offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (individual and group). Under the supervision of Harvard-trained psychiatrist Daniel Zimmerman, M.D., your ketamine-assisted treatment at Acheron is a healing experience for mind, body, and soul.
How Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Works
At low doses, ketamine-assisted therapy helps relax psychological defenses, enhances emotional processing, and makes therapy more productive.
At higher doses, it can induce a psychedelic experience – a rare, profound window for deep healing, emotional exploration, and personal growth. With thorough preparation, a supportive environment, and a trusted therapeutic relationship, ketamine therapy can unlock one of the most powerful forces in mental health: your own internal healing wisdom.
We honor this sacred medicine by weaving it with deep psychotherapy, mindful medication management, and healing community events that nourish your whole being. Research shows ketamine treatment can be particularly effective when traditional treatments have failed.

Frequently Asked Questions
chronic pain and tension faq
How can therapy help with chronic pain?
Chronic pain can affect body, soul, and mind. Individuals who experience long-term pain know the exhaustion, anger, and frustration that may accompany chronic pain, and many patients carry that pain in their bodies as muscle tension as well. They may also feel diminished by friends or family who don’t take their pain seriously. All of these things can be helped with expert therapy.
