Integration Therapy
Discover a supportive, evidence-based approach to understanding yourself and creating real, meaningful change.
Integration therapy can be a powerful tool for making the most of IV ketamine infusions, Spravato®, or TMS. These therapies often bring up lots of emotions, insights, or perspectives. Integration therapy works alongside these treatments, providing a safe, guided space to process those experiences, understand what they mean, and apply them to your daily life.
What is Integration Therapy?
Integration therapy is a collaborative process where you work closely with one of our experienced and licensed providers to explore and make sense of thoughts, feelings, and insights that arise during treatments such as ketamine therapy, Spravato®, and TMS. It’s an opportunity to reflect on what you experienced, connect it to your life outside of treatment, and develop practical strategies for growth and healing.
How Does Integration Therapy Work?
Integration therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, it is highly personalized to your unique needs and experiences. For example, during an integration therapy session, you and your therapist may:
- Process thoughts, images, or emotions that surfaced during treatment.
- Explore how past experiences or trauma connect to these new insights.
- Identify unhelpful patterns and develop healthier coping strategies.
- Set goals for applying treatment breakthroughs to everyday life.
At Psych North, our integration therapy provides a safe, judgment-free space where you can reflect, ask questions, and practice new ways of thinking and being. When paired with other treatments, such as traditional antidepressants and anxiety medication, ketamine therapy, Spravato®, or TMS, it can help extend the benefits of those interventions and foster long-term healing.
What is Integration Therapy Used For?
Integration therapy can be helpful for a wide range of mental health concerns, including:
- Depression and treatment-resistant depression
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Trauma and PTSD
- OCD and intrusive thoughts
- Grief and loss
- Life transitions, identity, and self-esteem
- Coping with chronic health conditions or pain

Our Integration Therapy Process
At Psych North, integration therapy is offered as an adjunctive service, meaning it is available to patients who are already receiving another form of treatment, such as IV ketamine infusions, Spravato®, or TMS. Here’s what you can expect:
Treatment Alignment
One of our providers will coordinate your integration therapy to ensure it complements your existing treatment plan.
Tailored Sessions
Sessions are structured to help you unpack and process the insights that arise during ketamine, Spravato®, or TMS therapy. Most often, integration therapy occurs in a single session following treatment.
Flexible, Personalized Approach
Throughout your treatment, you and your therapist will work together to set goals and choose a therapeutic approach that matches your needs. This could include modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, or trauma-informed practices.
