The Power of IM Ketamine Therapy: A New Path to Healing

As the mental health landscape evolves, ketamine therapy continues to make headlines as a transformative treatment for depression, anxiety, and trauma-related conditions. While many clinics are turning to nasal sprays or tablets, at Koru Wellness, we’ve chosen to focus exclusively on intramuscular (IM) ketamine — a method backed by strong clinical outcomes and deeply aligned with our integrative, therapy-centered approach.
Why Intramuscular (IM) Ketamine Therapy?
Unlike IV infusions or nasal sprays, IM injections offer a straightforward, reliable, and effective route of administration. Here's why IM ketamine stands out:
Rapid, Deep Therapeutic Onset: IM injections allow for a swift and smooth entry into the psychedelic experience, often leading to more profound psychological insights.
Precise Dosing: IM allows our medical team to tailor the dose carefully to the needs of each client, supporting consistency across sessions without the need for an IV.
More Grounded Experience: Many clients report that IM treatments feel more embodied and emotionally accessible, supporting integration work.
Emerging research continues to show that IM ketamine is just as effective as IV, with some studies suggesting even stronger dissociative and therapeutic effects — particularly when paired with psychotherapy.
Therapy is the Core, Not an Add-On
At Koru Wellness, we never leave clients to navigate the ketamine experience alone. Every session includes the presence of a licensed therapist, from start to finish. We believe the medicine opens the door — but it’s the relationship, reflection, and support that help clients walk through it.
Here’s how we do it differently:
Pre-session preparation: Clients meet with a therapist beforehand to clarify goals, identify emotional parts (if working from an IFS lens), and set intentions.
Therapeutic presence during the journey: A licensed therapist is present throughout your ketamine experience — attuned, grounded, and ready to support you emotionally and somatically.
Guided integration: Post-session, we help clients translate their experiences into insight, behavior change, and lasting emotional healing.
Not Just Relief — Meaningful Change
Ketamine is more than symptom relief. When paired with therapy, it can catalyze emotional breakthroughs, soften rigid thought patterns, and support neuroplasticity — making it easier to learn new ways of relating to yourself and the world.
Whether you’re dealing with long-standing depression, anxiety, or feeling stuck in traditional talk therapy, IM ketamine therapy with therapeutic support offers a radically different way forward.
