Wesley Ryan, MD is double board certified in addiction psychiatry and adult psychiatry, and was one of the first to offer ketamine in conjunction with psychotherapy, in early 2016.

She now also works with Dr. Ryan in providing ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Ketamine, either via the intramuscular or sublingual routes, is provided in conjunction with psychotherapy (“talk therapy”), and includes both preparation and integration sessions before and after the experience.
