INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY

We understand that every individual with attention deficits has unique cognitive challenges. Many factors contribute, requiring a treatment that is multi-dimensional and flexible.  Our approach combines pharmacotherapy and Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) to strengthen executive functioning and attentional control. 

We offer two structured neurocognitive treatment options:  

• CRT

• CRT-K: Combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine with CRT through neuroplastic processes, mood enhancement, and awareness-building for cognitive resilience and empowerment.

These services are led by our clinical director of CRT & CRT-K, Dr. Amanda Sacks-Zimmerman, Ph.D., ABPP-CN.

Anxiety can be a signal of internal conflict or imbalance, pointing us toward meaningful change. We help patients decode anxiety’s messages and integrate them into deeper self-understanding. 

We offer:

• Mindfulness-based CBT

• Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

• Psychodynamic therapy and integrative approaches  

We view anxiety as something not just to manage, but to learn from. Therapy can provide relief, lasting clarity, and emotional growth. Our goal is to support and guide you on your journey of self-healing. 

Career-related stress runs deeper than job dissatisfaction. It touches on issues with self-worth, identity, and existential purpose. 

Freud famously said, “Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.”  We help patients explore the root causes of burnout, imposter syndrome, or feeling misaligned in their professional lives, even if symptoms do not fit the description of a defined clinical disorder.

Our approach includes:

• Individual therapy for cultivating understanding and compassion

• Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy

• Other medication management

• Group therapy

Chronic pain isn’t just physical—it can affect mood, energy, sleep, and sense of self. Whether you’re living with a pain condition or recovering from an injury, we recognize the complex interplay between pain and mental health.

Our approach acknowledges that chronic pain is both a physical and emotional experience. We work collaboratively to address how pain impacts identity, function, and overall well-being.

We offer:

• Individual psychotherapy focused on pain management and emotional processing

• Medication management to reduce pain interference

• Group therapy for support and validation within community (see our Navigating Chronic Pain Issues group)

• Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for relief and enhanced self-awareness

Pain can be isolating—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. With the right support, healing is possible.

Acheron is proud to offer identity-affirming care to LGBTQ+ individuals. LGBTQ+ individuals may face rejection by family and aspects of culture at large, with mental stress and challenges, as well as opportunities for courage and greatness. Even with the support of family, or when seeking treatment for issues unrelated to sexuality and gender, identifying as LGBTQ+ puts you at higher risk for discrimination and challenges that cishet populations don’t face.

We recognize the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ communities, from internalized stigma to navigating societal pressures, and seek to provide a safe space for deeper insight, support, and understanding. 

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” - Carl Jung

We support:

• Self-exploration in a nonjudgmental setting

• Therapy for anxiety, identity formation, trauma, and life transitions

• A culture that sees queerness as a strength and source of depth, not something to be fixed

To us, the truth is queer. And your story matters.

Depression and bipolar disorder can cast a shadow over every aspect of life. Ranging from mild to severe, and impacting sleep, appetite, concentration, and emotional regulation, these conditions can cause distressing emotions that distort thinking. While mood fluctuations are a natural part of life, persistent despair, hopelessness, or thoughts of self-harm should never be ignored.

We welcome adults experiencing new symptoms or who have had limited success with previous treatments, including those with “treatment-resistant” depression.

Our approach includes:

• Medication management (including ketamine therapy and nutraceuticals)

• Psychotherapy, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy

• Group therapy

For personalized care, now is the time to get help.

Romantic partners, family, and friends can be a wellspring of joy - or sources of suffering. Whether you’re navigating a breakup, abuse, or trying to improve communication, therapy at Acheron can help. We believe the foundation of all healthy relationships is the relationship with yourself. That’s where we begin.

We offer:

• Individual and couples psychotherapy 

• Group therapy for relational skills

• Ketamine-assisted therapy to address deep emotional patterns

No matter your past experiences, connection and healing are possible.
