Ketamine Therapy Old Greenwich, CT
Old Greenwich sits twenty minutes from Nikki Fall's Greenwich, CT office, and residents here tend to search for care by neighborhood name rather than by the town of Greenwich as a whole. If you are looking into ketamine therapy Old Greenwich CT, you are likely looking for something more private and more clinically grounded than a walk-in infusion clinic: care from an actual therapist who knows your history, not a rotating medical staff.
Nikki Fall, LCSW provides ketamine therapy to Old Greenwich CT clients as ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP), not a clinical infusion service. The distinction matters. Infusion clinics administer ketamine and monitor vitals for safety. KAP embeds the medicine inside a full therapeutic relationship, with preparation before the session and integration after it, so that what happens during the journey becomes something a client can actually use in their life afterward. Nikki is licensed in both Connecticut and New York and trained specifically in ketamine assisted psychotherapy through Fluence.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in Old Greenwich: What It Includes
Ketamine assisted psychotherapy in Old Greenwich begins with preparation sessions that build the therapeutic relationship and establish readiness before any medicine is introduced. These sessions review relevant history, clarify intentions, and prepare the nervous system for the work ahead. They are not paperwork. They are where the foundation for a meaningful session gets built.
Each guided journey is a 3 hour in-person session using legally prescribed sublingual ketamine lozenges, with Nikki present throughout as a therapeutic presence rather than a clinical monitor. A 45 minute integration conversation follows within 1 to 3 days, where the insights and emotional material that surfaced during the journey get processed into lasting change. New clients complete at least two preparation sessions and a one-time virtual medical intake before their first journey.
How Much Does Ketamine Therapy Cost in Old Greenwich
Individual journey packages start from $1,000, with a one-time virtual medical intake of $250 required for safety screening and prescription. Nikki does not accept insurance directly, but she provides superbills for both individual and couples sessions so Old Greenwich clients can seek reimbursement from their own provider. The cost reflects the full therapeutic arc, not just the medicine session itself.
Ketamine for Treatment-Resistant Depression in Old Greenwich
Treatment-resistant depression is the most common reason clients seek out ketamine therapy in the first place. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 2.8 million American adults live with depression that has not responded to standard antidepressants. For Old Greenwich clients who have tried multiple medications and talk therapy without relief, ketamine works differently. It can produce a shift in mood and perspective within hours rather than weeks, by stimulating new synaptic connections in circuits tied to mood regulation.
Anxiety, OCD, and Trauma Therapy in Old Greenwich
Anxiety and OCD are searched almost as often as depression in this space, and they respond well to the same underlying mechanism. Ketamine quiets the amygdala, the brain's threat response center, long enough for clients to approach anxious or obsessive thought patterns with more distance and less fear. For clients carrying trauma, that same effect can open a window into material talk therapy alone has not reached. Nikki is also EMDRIA certified, so EMDR and KAP can be woven into a single therapeutic relationship rather than split across two providers.
Couples Therapy in Old Greenwich with a Ketamine Option
Nikki also works with couples, both in conventional talk therapy and in couples ketamine assisted sessions. The Couples Ketamine Package is an 18 hour customizable program that includes three weeks of preparation, three guided journeys, and four integration sessions. For Old Greenwich couples who have already tried standard couples therapy and want to go deeper to let go of old pain and stuckness, the shared ketamine experience tends to move relational patterns faster than weekly sessions alone.
Why Old Greenwich Clients Choose This Practice Over a Clinic
Most ketamine options within a short drive of Old Greenwich are infusion-based: medically supervised and clinically safe, but not psychotherapeutic. That model leaves the preparation and integration work, the part that determines whether a session actually changes anything, entirely up to the client. Nikki's practice is built around the belief that psychedelics are not magic pills but powerful tools that, with the right preparation and support, can accelerate healing that might otherwise take years.
