For Therapists
A Medical Partner
Who Speaks
Your Language.
I collaborate with therapists as a trusted prescribing physician — bringing the medical expertise so you can focus on the therapeutic work.
Why Work Together
I Get It — From the Inside
I'm not a conventional psychiatrist who reluctantly signs off on ketamine prescriptions. I came to this work through my own experience with ketamine-assisted therapy — I understand what happens in the room, why set and setting matter, and why the therapeutic relationship is central to the outcome.
That means when you refer a client to me for a medical evaluation, you're not translating between two different worldviews. You're working with a physician who already shares your framework — one who sees the medicine as a tool in service of the therapeutic process, not the other way around.
I stay in my lane. I handle the medical side. You handle the therapeutic relationship. That division of roles is intentional and something I take seriously.
The Collaboration
What Working Together Looks Like
Medical Screening & Candidacy
I review your client's psychiatric and medical history, current medications, and contraindications to determine if KAP is a safe and appropriate path — and document that clearly for your records.
Ketamine Prescription & Monitoring
I prescribe and medically supervise ketamine sessions, ensuring safety throughout. You run the therapeutic container; I handle the medical oversight and any clinical documentation required.
Collaborative Treatment Planning
You know your client. I know the medicine. Together we can align on dosing, session pacing, and preparation approach — a real clinical dialogue, not a one-way referral.
Clear Communication
Timely notes, honest assessments, and direct availability. No navigating a large clinic's front desk — you'll have a real working relationship with me directly.
Good Fit
Who I Work Well With
Therapists already trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy (MAPS, Fluence, CIIS, or similar programs)
Clinicians who prioritize preparation and integration as much as the medicine session itself
Practices with a trauma-informed, somatic, or transpersonal orientation
Independent therapists or small group practices seeking a reliable, values-aligned prescriber
Therapists who want a physician partner, not a gatekeeper
"The field moves forward when therapists and physicians stop working in silos and start working as genuine collaborators. That's the kind of partnership I'm interested in building."
— Dr. Amanda O'Hara
