Alaina Borra's Practice, nestled in the heart of Missouri, specializes in Ketamine Preparation and Integration. Recognizing the reality of your emotional weight, whether it is from past trauma, contemporary stressors, or an elusive sense of longing, Borra acknowledges the subsequent fatigue, overwhelm, and guilt you may experience when striving to bear it alone. Her mantra, “We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become,” underpins her work as both a Psychotherapist and a Psychedelic Integration Therapist. Her therapy is centered around you, individualizing each approach using tools such as transpersonal psychology, client centered approaches, IFS, philosophy, emotion theory, and process oriented skills.

Balancing self-compassion, belonging, and meaning with a reconnection to your inner wisdom, Alaina Borra treats teenagers and adults dealing with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. Specializing in aiding those receiving ketamine treatments elsewhere, Borra’s integration support extends to experiences with psychedelics, breathwork, spiritual emergence, shamanic practices, and certain meditations. Committed to recognizing her clients as whole individuals, Borra’s approach centers on non-pathologizing and trauma-informed lens, with an understanding that even the toughest emotions and patterns are often coping mechanisms for past environmental stress. She passionately promotes the worthwhile practice of listening, respecting and loving these aspects of the self, and understands each person's unique intersectionality, always emphasizing your role as the expert of your story. Online payments are accepted and sliding scale spots are available. Local ketamine providers can be provided, alongside discussions on non-drug options for exploring the psyche. Appointments can be done in person, or through Telehealth for MO residents only, under the supervision of Sarah Manriquez, LCSW. The practice reiterates that its sessions do not encourage or condone illicit substances, and will not provide or refer such substances for its clients.
