Ketamine-Assisted Therapy in California
Online therapy & integration
Healing that honors your pace & presence for neurodivergent individuals, creatives, & people living with chronic illness.
You’re…
Navigating a new diagnosis or unpredictable pain.
Grieving parts of yourself that feel disconnected.
Unlearning old habits.
Feeling stuck in patterns from the past.
Reliving old wounds that still echo in your body.
Avoiding situations that overwhelm your nervous system.
Pulling back from life, unsure how to rejoin.
Questioning beliefs that once felt like your truth.
Trying to find people who “get you.“
Re-evaluating what matters.
Therapy can be a place to reconnect with your inner world, remember your wholeness, and shape a life that feels more aligned with who you are now. You deserve a space where your knowing is honored, where grief, sensitivity, curiosity, and longing are welcome. Healing can be nonlinear, spiritual, embodied, and real.
This is not traditional therapy. It is a space for: deep inner work, quiet reflection, and radical reimagining. It is for when the old maps can’t guide you anymore, when you are tired of trying to “fix” yourself, and when you are ready to feel again with support.
Let’s start with a free 20-minute phone consultation. This is your space to share what you need, ask questions about how I work, and we’ll see if working together is a fit.
Unlock the healing your body already knows with Virtual Ketamine Therapy and Integration, grounded in trauma-informed, holistic mental health care.

Hi, I’m Olivia Clear, LPCC
You’re someone who feels deeply and wants to live from your truth, not just survival. You may be sensitive, neurodivergent, kinky, polyamorous, or living with chronic illness. You may have spent years trying to heal, but something in you still longs to come home: to your body, your heart, and your sense of aliveness.
I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and somatic, creative healing for people like you. Together, we explore the stories your body carries, the ways your nervous system protects you, and the places within that are ready to soften and open. This is a space to slow down, to feel what’s been held for too long, and to discover a more aligned way of being with yourself.
This work isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering what has always been whole. Here, healing becomes an act of reclamation: of love, of desire, of your own quiet power. You already hold everything you need to return to yourself. I’m here to help you listen.
Together, we explore what it means to feel like you again:
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy to expand awareness, soften survival patterns
Somatic Therapy and Nervous System Regulation to reconnect with the parts of yourself that have gone quiet
Integration that weaves creativity, spirituality, and rest into your process so healing becomes sustainable and embodied
You don’t have to explain yourself here. You’ve already spent enough time trying to be understood. My lived experience with chronic illness, neurodivergence, nontraditional relationships, and navigating complex healthcare systems informs an approach that is empathetic, trauma-aware, and deeply human.
This is a space to bring forward what’s been hidden and let your own wisdom lead the way.
If you’re ready to move beyond survival and into something more authentic and alive, this work offers the chance for clarity, connection, and lasting transformation.
I trust that you’re here for a reason. Want to know more?

Somatic Therapy & Nervous System Support
Feel Safe
Somatic therapy offers an invitation to listen and speak the language of sensation. Our work will help you notice subtle signals, feel natural rhythms, and learn to be present with what arises instead of pushing fear away.
At first, connecting with these signals may feel unfamiliar, like learning a new language. With time and attention, the connection becomes intuitive, clear, and alive.
We carry the stories of survival, including fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, alongside our capacity for curiosity, pleasure, and connection. Somatic work helps soften protective patterns and create space for aliveness to return. Together, we’ll call in the quiet wisdom that has always been within you.
Online Ketamine Therapy and Psychedelic Integration
Make Meaning
Integration happens when sacred insights from your ketamine therapy sessions take root in your life. This is a space where clarity, intuition, and connection to something greater become guiding forces. During ketamine integration therapy, we may work on self trust, boundaries, expanding your capacity for life’s challenges, and deepening the relationships that matter most.
Ketamine journeys reveal insights, but ketamine integration is where everyday transformation grows. It is the gentle, intentional process of taking your discoveries and allowing them shape your everyday life, and translating revelation into change.
Ketamine Assisted Therapy for Anxiety and Depression
Find Relief
Anxiety or depression may be signals that life that feels overwhelming, your body is tired of being told how to be, or from living at a pace that no longer works for you. These feelings are teachers, pointing out what is not working. They carry messages that can guide you toward clarity, insight, and growth even when the mind is unsure how to listen.
Ketamine therapy helps us find meaning in thought loops, open space for connecting to once overwhelming feelings, and recognize clarity when the mind and body feel too much or too little. Through Ketamine integration, therapy for anxiety and depression, you’ll connect to life that feels like it flows instead of feeling stuck.
Integrate Change
In today’s fast-paced, stressful world, many experience anxiety and depression that comes along with creative blocks, anxiety, ADHD, and a loss of their former sense of spiritual connection. While traditional therapy can be helpful, a different approach is sometimes needed to overcome these challenges. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for anxiety or depression provides a powerful way to access your inner strength, deepen self-awareness, and support lasting mental health and emotional healing. By weaving together creative expression, mindfulness practices, and spiritual exploration during sessions, you’ll open doors to new paths of personal growth and overall well-being.
-
Perfectionism can be related to trauma, Depression, or Anxiety and can block your creative flow and mute your unique voice. For those who wish to explore creativity as part of their healing journey, Ketamine-assisted therapy offers a gentle, transformative way to unlock creative thinking, self-expression, and emotional healing. This approach uses the altered state from Ketamine Therapy to support nervous system regulation and inspire new ways to engage with your inner world. During integration, you’re invited—but never required—to explore creative outlets like drawing, painting, or any form that feels authentic to you.
In our therapy sessions, you’ll find a safe, nonjudgmental space to fully embody your authentic self—whether that’s playful, quirky, deeply introspective, or simply seeking healing without creative work. Here, “mistakes” become opportunities for growth, and your creative and spiritual potential can flourish without pressure. This work supports releasing perfectionism and embracing your whole, vibrant self on your own terms.
-
Living with ADHD can feel overwhelming, especially when it also means having depression and anxiety. While Ketamine Therapy doesn’t target ADHD symptoms directly, it offers a space to cultivate greater self-compassion, decrease harsh self-criticism, and deepen self-awareness. This supportive approach can help you engage with underlying emotional challenges and foster overall mental health and well-being.
During Ketamine-Assisted Therapy sessions, we focus on easing depression and anxiety, which often impact how you experience ADHD. Therapy encourages developing a kinder inner voice, making daily challenges feel more manageable. By strengthening self-awareness and emotional resilience, you may find clearer pathways to navigate life’s complexities. For some, the spiritual dimension accessed in Ketamine Therapy can also support alignment with your higher self, offering connection and deeper self understanding along your healing journey.
-
Feeling disconnected from your higher power or spiritual path can leave you feeling ungrounded, stuck, or overwhelmed. For many, this disconnection contributes to emotional distress and a lack of inner clarity. Ketamine-assisted therapy offers a unique opportunity to explore spirituality in a grounded, embodied way—without falling into toxic positivity or pressure to conform.
During integration, you have the freedom to explore spiritual practices that resonate with you—without any pressure or expectations. These may include energy work, oracle cards, intuitive writing, or art-making. Engaging with these tools can help deepen your spiritual connection, distinguish between fear and intuition, and cultivate a more authentic relationship with your higher self.
For those who feel called, my approach supports a personalized spiritual journey that honors your pace and preferences. By weaving these practices into your routine after Ketamine Therapy, you can experience greater alignment, self-understanding, and emotional well-being—all grounded in your unique sense of purpose and connection.
-
Anxiety can feel overwhelming—racing thoughts, shallow breathing, and relentless worry can take over your mind and body. If you’re ready to break free from anxiety’s grip, Ketamine-assisted therapy offers a powerful, science-backed way to find relief and reclaim your calm.
In our sessions, you’ll learn effective grounding techniques to soothe your nervous system and quiet anxious thoughts, supporting not just mental clarity but also your spiritual well-being. The enhanced neuroplasticity sparked by ketamine makes it easier to adopt healing practices like mindfulness, deep breathing, and guided visualization, helping you feel more peaceful and in control.
Anxiety often arises from frightened inner child parts craving safety, or inner critics pushing for perfection. Through compassionate exploration and a gentle, spiritually informed approach, we transform these anxious parts from sources of struggle into trusted allies. This work empowers you to navigate life with renewed confidence, ease, and emotional resilience.
-
Feeling disconnected from yourself from anxiety or depression can mean being emotionally drained, creatively blocked, or spiritually adrift which can stall your healing journey. Learning to truly nourish your emotional and spiritual self is key to unlocking lasting well-being. That’s where Ketamine-assisted therapy steps in: it supports you in cultivating self-compassion, deepening self-awareness, and awakening a meaningful spiritual connection on your own terms.
Through gentle, personalized guidance, you’re invited to explore practices that resonate for you—all integrated thoughtfully after your ketamine sessions. These tools nurture every part of you, helping to restore balance, boost mental health, and reignite your inner creativity and calm.
Whether you’re struggling with creative blocks, and seeking new ways to manage anxiety or Depression, and hoping to deepen your spiritual practice, ketamine-assisted therapy offers a transformative path forward. Each session creates space to explore, grow, and heal in a safe, supportive environment—opening possibilities for a more fulfilling and balanced life.
“The way to maintain one’s connection to the wild is to ask yourself what it is that you want. This is the sorting of the seed from the dirt. One of the most important discriminations we can make in this matter is the difference between things that beckon to us and things that call from our souls.”
— Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Why Work with Me for Ketamine therapy + Integration?
With over five years of experience providing online Ketamine therapy, I offer grounded, consistent support that many clients find hard to come by elsewhere.
So much of our experiences in therapy can center around what's wrong. Let's shift our focus to creating an existence that's heart-centered, attuned, alive, and filled with moments of joy.
I’m committed to helping you return to your path. It's possible to find freedom from self-limiting beliefs, impostor syndrome, fear, and perfectionism, and tap into aliveness. Let me support you through Ketamine Therapy to treat Anxiety and Depression.
With Psychedelic therapy, it can feel easier to let go of habits that don’t work for you and create new ones. Listen to your inner guidance about how to transform your day-to-day with more self-awareness and intentional, sustainable changes.
Working together, we can build a life that is fulfilling and authentic, using holistic therapy techniques that promote mental health and emotional well-being. Let’s create a path that’s not just about overcoming obstacles, but about thriving and living fully.
Our therapy work can support you in feeling less stuck and create a sense of expansion and receptivity in your approach to life. Discover how to develop more awareness of your needs and desires, shift and transform your relationships, and help you build a sense of connection within your community, and improve your mental health.
I see trauma in connection to systems and structures rather than something we hold as individuals. I’d love to support you in shifting away from shame toward honoring your strength.
During the past seven years of providing support to those processing trauma, I've deepened my understanding that antidotes to trauma are rooted in the cultivation of deep connection, both within ourselves and with our community, and the awakening to the innate aliveness within us, igniting our awareness to explore and expand our sense of self and possibilities. Trauma work serves as a gateway to liberate ourselves from cycles of suffering, allowing us to embrace greater freedom in navigating our lives and relationships in alignment with our wisdom of inner knowing, creativity, and strengthened by interconnectedness.
My extensive education (see below) has focused on working with trauma, anxiety, and depression. Our work can help you explore painful experiences or history at a pace that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.
My healing path has unfolded with the support of Ketamine Therapy. I have a deep relationship with this medicine that informs how I help you cultivate your healing practices. Learn to nourish your well-being in a way that works for you.
Many of my clients long to reconnect to creativity and aliveness. We can find ways to develop more of a connection to yourself. Ketamine Assisted Therapy/Ketamine Integration can support you in learning to tend to your emotions, body, and spirit.
Working together, we can build a life that is fulfilling and authentic, using holistic therapy techniques that promote mental health and emotional well-being. Let’s create a path that’s not just about overcoming obstacles, but about thriving and living fully.

More About Ketamine Therapy: Preparing for Your Journey
What to Expect Before Your Ketamine Assisted Therapy Session
Before your first Ketamine Assisted Therapy session, we'll meet 2-3 times to discuss your hopes, plans, and how I can best support you in this work. I'll teach you how to prepare your mind, body, and setting, and create an intention for your Ketamine therapy session.
Choosing a Support Person for Your Ketamine Therapy Session
We'll also discuss choosing a support person who will remain nearby (but not in the same room) throughout your Ketamine therapy session. I'll have their phone number and ask your permission to contact them if you need physical support during the session.
Medical Assessment and Ketamine Prescription Process
I'll refer you to a medical doctor who will meet with you for an online medical assessment and, barring medical contraindications, will prescribe Ketamine. During this meeting, the doctor will also discuss the dose of Ketamine you will take.
After you meet with the doctor, they will send a prescription to the pharmacy. Your prescription consists of sublingual lozenges (tablets) that you will dissolve in your mouth and hold for about 15 minutes. Then, the pharmacy will send the Ketamine prescription to your home for you to self-administer during your Ketamine Therapy session.
Creating the Right Setting for Your Ketamine Session
As we prepare for your first Ketamine Therapy session, we'll talk about music for your journey. Music is an excellent support in helping the session unfold. I can provide you with several options for playlists or offer guidance about considerations for creating a playlist.
On the day of your Ketamine session, we'll check in about your feelings surrounding the journey and your intention. We'll also ensure your setting is ready and your support person is available.
Music and Meditation for Ketamine Therapy
When you're ready to take the Ketamine, I'll guide you in a meditation to help you settle in. You will hold the Ketamine in your mouth for 15 minutes, and I'll let you know when that time passes.
Supporting Your Experience During Ketamine Therapy
It's my job to support you, honor your experience, and help you explore during the therapy session. I may suggest you return to your intention and help you stay present with what arises. I'll remain with you during the session and check in throughout your journey.
Exploring Themes in Ketamine Therapy: From Childhood Memories to New Habits
As a therapist trained in working with trauma, I can assure all parts of you and your experience are welcome to be explored! We'll discuss what you notice as you feel called to speak. Some common topics in Ketamine therapy sessions are images, metaphors, childhood memories, history of depression or anxiety, your relationship to your body, and patterns in your life or thinking you'd like to change. However, everyone's journey is different.
I will take notes for you throughout your session and, if desired, share them with you afterward. We will meet 2-3 more times after your Ketamine session for integration therapy, and we will use the notes from your Ketamine session to help us explore themes that arose in your journey.
Integration Therapy: Making the Most of Your Psychedelic Experience
Due to the antidepressant effects of Ketamine, increased neural plasticity in your brain, and a sense of openness that arises from work with Ketamine Therapy, integration is an ideal time to explore and engage in new habits and shift thought patterns. We may use art therapy to help you deepen your understanding and insights surrounding your Ketamine session.
The Importance of Multiple Ketamine-Assisted Therapy & Ketamine Integration Sessions
I recommend that you undergo a minimum of three Ketamine-Assisted Therapy sessions as the effects of working with Ketamine and depth of exploration often increase as you gain familiarity with your process and develop your integration practices.
