Why Integration Coaching Matters in Ketamine Therapy  And How Nervana Medical Sets a Higher Standard of Care

At Nervana Medical, our mission has always been to provide ketamine therapy that is safe, evidence-based, and deeply transformative; not just during the session, but long after. One of the most meaningful ways we do this is by incorporating integration coaching into our ketamine treatment model. This extra layer of support helps patients translate the insights, emotional breakthroughs, and neuroplastic shifts from their ketamine experiences into real, sustained change.

While many ketamine clinics focus solely on administering the medicine, Nervana Medical is one of the few clinics in Utah that elevates treatment with dedicated integration coaching; before, during, and after your sessions. Integration isn’t optional for us; it’s part of the therapeutic process.

Here’s what makes our approach different.


What Is Integration Coaching?

Ketamine creates a unique window of neuroplasticity; your brain becomes more flexible, open, and capable of forming new patterns. Integration coaching helps patients:

• Understand and reflect on what came up during their session
• Process emotions or memories that surfaced
• Build new coping strategies and behaviors
• Align insights with actionable steps
• Reinforce mindset changes and rewire limiting beliefs

It bridges the gap between a powerful internal experience and long-term life change.


Why Nervana Medical Includes Integration Coaches in Our Ketamine Model

For us, ketamine therapy isn’t just a 40-minute infusion or a single troche; it’s a guided journey. Integration coaches help ensure that patients feel supported, grounded, and prepared, especially during emotionally charged or deeply introspective sessions.

We incorporate integration coaching because:

1. Patients Experience Better Outcomes

Research consistently shows that ketamine results are stronger and longer-lasting when combined with psychological support. Patients report more clarity, emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of purpose when guided by a trained coach.

2. It Sets Nervana Medical Apart

Most ketamine providers focus on the medical side alone. Few clinics in Utah offer real, structured integration. At Nervana Medical, we believe the medicine is only part of the story; the transformation happens in how you integrate it.

3. It Supports Safety and Emotional Stability

Integration reduces the risk of unresolved emotions, confusion, or overwhelm after a session. Patients feel steadier, more supported, and better able to understand the “why” behind their experiences.

4. It Honors the Full Therapeutic Process

Ketamine opens the door. Integration coaching helps you walk through it with intention.


Integration for Every Type of Ketamine Treatment

Because each patient’s journey is unique, we offer integration coaching options for all treatment formats used at Nervana Medical.

1. In-Clinic Series (Induction + Boosters)

Patients undergoing a traditional 6-session series benefit from:
• Pre-session preparation coaching
• Mid-series check-ins
• Post-session integration appointments
• Emotional support throughout boosters

This helps anchor new insights and stabilize progress. The price of the integration coaching is included in the pricing.

2. At-Home Ketamine Troches (Telehealth Program)

We also support patients who use at-home ketamine troches through live Zoom integration sessions should a patient desire to book an individual integration session. This can be done before or after a home session. Home sessions also come with twice a month integration coaching thru a Voyage Kit purchase at the beginning of troche starts.

Patients can schedule:
• Pre-troche intention-setting sessions
• Mid-journey check-ins
• Post-troche processing
• Ongoing therapeutic coaching as needed

These sessions can be one-time appointments or part of an ongoing plan. 

3. Group Integration Sessions

We do offer discounted group ketamine sessions for people who have been deemed to be emotionally stable through their series. Group rates are discounted so much that it does not include integration. Should a patient wish to add integration onto a group session, they can add it onto their appointment or within 72 hours after treatment as this is when neuroplasticity is highest.

A Higher Standard of Care—Because You Deserve It

Ketamine therapy is powerful; but without integration, patients often miss out on its full potential. At Nervana Medical, we treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Our integration coaches help patients build emotional resilience, create lasting mindset shifts, and turn ketamine’s neuroplastic window into meaningful, long-term change.
