Monthly Psycholytic Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Group for Couples is a distinct couples-focused group pathway for partners who keep getting caught in the same patterns and want to understand what happens between them in a different way. Preparation and integration connect what comes up in this work with conversations at home, especially recurring conversations that tend to go in circles. Ketamine-assisted participation requires clinical appropriateness and separate medical eligibility.

These small virtual relationship-focused psychotherapy groups bring couples and individuals working on couple relationships alongside others navigating similar dilemmas. Participation as individuals or couples depends on the group format and clinical fit.

Together, participants explore communication, intimacy, trust, boundaries, recurring patterns, transitions, and decisions about how to move forward. Hearing others' experiences can normalize common relationship struggles, reduce isolation, and support reflection and integration.

Monthly Group Therapy & Integration and Extended Ketamine-Assisted Group Psychotherapy are distinct clinical formats. Ketamine-assisted participation is available only when clinically and medically appropriate; not everyone in the monthly group receives ketamine.

The goal is not simply to have an experience.

It is to understand what is emerging and begin bringing that awareness into everyday relationships.

IMPORTANT ORIENTATION

This is structured group psychotherapy — not a drop-in ketamine experience.

An inquiry call is the first step. Intake and clinical assessment may follow; Susan confirms group fit and available space before placement.

These groups support therapeutic work, reflection, and integration within the agreed group format and participation period.

Some participants may be engaged in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as part of their treatment.

Others may participate in relationship-focused group therapy and integration without taking ketamine during the group session.

Participation in any ketamine-assisted session requires separate medical eligibility and prescribing through a qualified medical provider.

Who can participate?

These groups are designed for couples and individuals who are actively working on their couple relationships.

Relationship problems can feel deeply personal and isolating. Group work offers an opportunity to hear from others who are navigating many of the same dilemmas — communication struggles, intimacy, trust, boundaries, transitions, recurring patterns, and questions about how to move forward.

Participants may attend as individuals or as couples, depending on the group format and clinical fit. The shared setting can help normalize common relationship struggles while creating space for reflection, learning, and new perspectives.

Potential participants may include:

• Couples currently participating in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy
• Individuals working on their couple relationship even if their partner is not participating
• Clients already engaged in therapeutic work with Susan who would benefit from additional group support
• Eligible couples or individuals entering an ongoing therapeutic process who complete the required intake and preparation

You do not have to attend with your partner to benefit from the group.

Sometimes one person developing greater awareness of their own emotional and relationship patterns can begin to change the larger relational dynamic.

Groups are intentionally small, generally up to six participants.

Two distinct ways to participate

These are different clinical formats, not interchangeable pricing tiers.

Inquiry, clinical intake & group participation

These are therapeutic groups, not one-time experiences.

MONTHLY GROUP THERAPY

Monthly Group Therapy & Integration

December 2026 – May 2027

These monthly sessions provide ongoing psychotherapy, relationship-focused group processing, and integration support.

EXTENDED KETAMINE-ASSISTED SESSIONS

Extended Ketamine-Assisted Group Psychotherapy

Additional extended ketamine-assisted group psychotherapy sessions may be scheduled based on group interest, clinical appropriateness, medical eligibility, and compliance with the prescribing provider’s current treatment and safety requirements.

Dates will be announced separately.

Psychotherapy and medical care work together — but they are different roles.

Susan collaborates with Journey Clinical for the medical component of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Journey Clinical’s medical team manages the medical aspects of treatment, while Susan provides the psychotherapy component.

Remote ketamine-assisted sessions require additional preparation.

Remote ketamine-assisted psychotherapy follows additional medical and safety requirements established by the prescribing provider.

Participants must follow the individualized instructions provided by their medical team before participating in any ketamine-assisted group session.

These requirements may include preparation related to medication use, vital signs, therapist participation, support-person or chaperone requirements, and other medical safety procedures.

Exact requirements are determined through the medical process and reviewed with participants before a ketamine-assisted session.

Participation in psychotherapy does not itself establish medical eligibility for ketamine.

Location & eligibility

All group psychotherapy sessions are virtual.

Psychotherapy with Susan is available to eligible clients located in California and Massachusetts.

Both couples and individuals working on their couple relationships may be considered for participation.

Group placement depends on clinical fit, current availability, and completion of the appropriate inquiry, intake, and preparation process.

Ketamine-assisted participation additionally requires separate medical eligibility and prescribing.

Medical assessment & ketamine prescriptions

Susan collaborates with Journey Clinical for the medical component of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Journey Clinical’s medical team independently evaluates participants for ketamine treatment and is responsible for medical eligibility, prescribing, medication instructions, medical follow-up, and medical oversight.

Susan provides the psychotherapy component.

Medical consultations, medication, and other medical services are separate from Susan’s psychotherapy fees.

A psychotherapy recommendation does not guarantee medical eligibility or a ketamine prescription.

Frequently asked questions

Interested in the group?

The first step is a 15-minute inquiry call with Susan. An intake and clinical assessment may follow. An inquiry or intake does not guarantee group admission; placement depends on clinical fit and current availability.

Together, you can discuss what is happening in your relationship, what you hope to work through, and whether individual participation, attending together as a couple, or another form of support may be the best fit.
