Intro

Located in New York City, Michael DeMarco's therapy practice highlights the therapeutic potential of psychedelic-assisted treatment. Catering to clients in California, New York, Utah, and Vermont, the practice emphasizes the experiential nature of its treatment protocol, including specifically Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. The therapy program, which can involve individual or group sessions, is designed to minimize longstanding mental distress with as little medicinal support as possible. All treatments are guided by the Psychedelic Institute of Mental Health & Family Therapy standards. Clients are empowered to find meaning in their existential crises and mental health journeys, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy with medicinal practices to create a comprehensive and transformative approach to mental wellness.

Ketamine plays a significant role in DeMarco's practice. Being a traditionally prescribed anesthetic with dissociative properties, it also has recently been identified as a promising component in psychedelic therapy helping alleviate mental health symptoms and chronic pain. At DeMarco's practice, the psychedelic experience is not seen as a side effect, but an essential therapeutic element that aids in long-lasting mental health improvements. Specialized psychedelic-assisted therapy using ketamine helps enhance the benefits of the medicine as it works in conjunction with the body's own healing mechanisms. The Psychedelic Institute of Mental Health & Family Therapy, under Michael DeMarco's guidance, offers both remote and on-location sessions. With its immersive experiential training, prospective psychedelic practitioners can augment their theoretical learning with invaluable, supervised hands-on experience.
