Why High-Performing People in Tech Are Turning to Ketamine Therapy

Spoiler: It’s not because they want to trip—it’s because they want to function like a human again

Let’s be real for a second.

You’ve debugged production issues at 2 a.m., scaled architecture, optimized workflows, launched MVPs, maybe even exited a startup. But when it comes to your internal operating system?

You’re running on fumes, silent errors, and nervous system spaghetti code.

Welcome to high-functioning burnout: the version of exhaustion where you can still hit OKRs and reply “lol” in Slack, but you’ve forgotten what your own emotions feel like.


Does this sound familiar?

  • You wake up feeling like you already need a nap—but you push through, because you always do

  • Your “rest” time looks suspiciously like scrolling Reddit with one hand and reviewing a Notion doc with the other

  • You feel either… absolutely nothing, or low-level dread punctuated by 2 a.m. existential spirals

  • You’ve been in therapy before. It helped. Kinda. But also… not really?

If any of that rings true, you’re not broken. Your system is just overclocked and under-supported.

Enter Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

(And no, it’s not just woo for wellness bros)

Ketamine—when used in a legit, clinical, trauma-informed setting—acts like a neural pattern interrupter. It helps quiet down the default-mode network (your brain’s stuck-on-loop playlist) and gives your emotional system a moment to breathe, reset, and recalibrate.

Pair that with somatic therapy (aka, actually getting your body and your emotions back in the same zip code), and you’ve got a recipe for nervous system repair that’s way more effective than another cold plunge or productivity hack.

Why It Works for Tech Folks

  • Because your brain is smart—but it’s not always helpful

  • Because your stress isn’t surface-level—it’s embedded in your body’s operating logic

  • Because you’ve outgrown coping. What you need is rewiring

Ketamine helps you:

  • Drop out of your anxious thought loops

  • Actually feel your emotions (not just analyze them like a bug report)

  • Get to a calm, connected state—without needing to “fix” anything

How It Works (No Slide Deck Required)

We don’t offer “drop in and dissociate” sessions.

We work with high-functioning professionals who want a structured process:

1. Prep: We co-create a plan. You get to know your system’s pain points—emotional, cognitive, and somatic.

2. Medicine Sessions: Guided, supported ketamine journeys with full therapeutic containment and integration.

3. Post-Work: Somatic therapy to help you live what you uncovered—not just understand it.

This isn’t just mental health. It’s emotional DevOps.

You’re Not Alone (Even If It Feels That Way)

Most of our clients are people who:

  • Are “crushing it” on the outside, and quietly collapsing inside

  • Would rather do literally anything than feel vulnerable—but are tired of feeling numb

  • Don’t want to tell their story for the 100th time—they want something to actually shift

This Isn’t for Everyone

If you’re looking for a magic pill or a quick dopamine hit—this isn’t that.

But if you’re ready to do something actually different—something grounded, body-based, and real—it might be for you.
