EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing ) has been widely studied and validated. It has been shown to be particularly effective for those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The therapeutic treatment known as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) was designed for individuals with traumatic memories and life experiences. It is an advanced treatment that retrains the brain, so to speak, to relieve the pain and suffering of past trauma. EMDR requires specialty training and certification; the techniques have been widely studied and validated. It has been shown to be particularly effective for those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
At Acheron, several of our therapists are trained in EMDR. We also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to enhance EMDR (called EMDR-K). Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy may help soften the emotional impact of traumatic memories, making them easier to reprocess and integrate in therapy – while leveraging the benefits of neuroplasticity to treat mood and anxiety disturbance and facilitate positive change.
Private therapy rooms in our NYC office (with comforting couches, natural light, and calming touches). Your medical and psychological safety are always our first concern.
All KAP sessions are therapist-supported with compassionate, skilled care. What sets our practice apart? We believe a skilled and trusted therapeutic relationship is the most essential aspect of a safe and effective KAP setting.
We emphasize thorough integration, helping you translate insights from ketamine sessions into lasting personal growth.
Dr. Daniel Zimmerman, MD, oversees every case for safety and clinical excellence.
Every KAP therapist is a licensed psychotherapist, ensuring your experience is both clinically grounded and emotionally supported.
Unlike clinics run solely by anesthesiologists, we work with root causes - not just symptoms - for real, lasting transformation.
Not at all! EMDR is a very effective therapy on its own, and several of our therapists are trained in it. If EMDR with ketamine seems indicated, you can discuss it with your therapist. But there is no need to add ketamine if that’s not of interest to you.
You might be carrying wounds that feel too deep for EMDR or traditional therapy to reach, especially if you’ve tried talking through your trauma without finding the relief your soul craves. Perhaps you’re wondering if anything can truly heal the parts of you that feel broken, or you’re seeking something powerful enough to address trauma that lives in your body, not just your mind.
Trauma often creates walls around our hearts that protect but also imprison us. Ketamine therapy for trauma offers a gentle way to dissolve these barriers, allowing your authentic self to emerge from behind the protective patterns that once served but now limit you.
How Ketamine Heals Trauma:
Types of Trauma We Address:
The Trauma-Informed Difference:
Our ketamine trauma therapy in the Financial District recognizes that healing happens in a relationship. Every practitioner understands that trauma lives in the body and requires approaches that honor both mind and nervous system.
What Makes Ketamine Uniquely Effective:
Traditional trauma therapy can sometimes feel like trying to think your way out of patterns that live deeper than thought. Ketamine creates access to these deeper layers while maintaining psychological safety and therapeutic support.
Our Integrative Approach:
We weave ketamine assisted therapy with somatic awareness, mindfulness practices, and integration work that helps insights become lived transformation. Clients from Battery Park City, Tribeca, and throughout Lower Manhattan discover healing that touches every aspect of their being.
