Our guest and licensed psychotherapist, Ann MacKenzie, MA, APCC , discusses the science behind ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, its potential benefits, and what the experience is like for patients. We also explore the legal landscape of this emerging therapy and its role in the broader psychedelic renaissance.
