Ketamine Therapy | Integration | Somatic Psychotherapy
You've done the work. Something still isn't moving.
You already understand yourself. Let's help your body catch up.
I provide Ketamine assisted therapy and somatic psychotherapy for people who are highly self-aware, but still experience emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or disconnection in the body. Based in Oakland, serving the Bay Area and all of California online.
I also offer sex therapy for desire, sexual health, and sexual identity.
You’ve been in therapy. Maybe you’ve worked with psychedelics, read countless self-help books, tracked your symptoms, studied your nervous system, and spent years trying to understand yourself.
You know your patterns.
And yet there are places in your body that haven’t caught up with what your mind already knows.
That gap is where our work together begins.
I’m Olivia Clear, LPCC, a licensed therapist in Oakland, CA offering ketamine-assisted therapy and somatic integration for people who are highly self-aware and still struggling. Not because you haven’t tried hard enough. Not because you need more insight. But because insight alone doesn’t always reach the places where our deepest patterns live.
Who Finds Their Way Here
People who have lived with chronic illness and learned to perform “fine” while their bodies said otherwise.
People whose nervous systems learned early that softness wasn’t safe.
People who have sat in circles, worked with psychedelics, held space for others, and done years of personal work, yet still find themselves in places they can’t think their way out of.
People who are deeply self-aware but still struggle to feel safe in their bodies, change old patterns, rest without guilt, or access the parts of themselves they know are there.
If you’ve ever felt like the most self-aware person in the room and still couldn’t shift the thing that needed shifting, you’re in the right place.
What We Do
Ketamine-assisted therapy can create a window in which familiar patterns temporarily loosen and new perspectives become possible. What happens inside that window, and what you do with the experience afterward, matters.
Our work includes preparation, a supported medicine journey from the privacy of your home, and dedicated integration in the days and weeks that follow. During your journey, I’m there with you through secure telehealth, offering presence, music, intention, and attuned support while you remain in your own familiar environment.
Ketamine can create an opening. Integration is where you begin to live differently because of what you encountered there.
We’ll pay attention not only to what you understand, but to what your body knows, what your nervous system is communicating, and what becomes possible when you stop trying to force yourself into change through insight alone.
This isn’t a rigid protocol. We’ll work at your pace to create a healing relationship grounded in care, clarity, curiosity, and truth.
Hi, I’m Olivia Clear,
I’ve been working with people in expanded states of consciousness since 2020. My approach is informed by lived experience with chronic illness and by years of sitting with people in their darkest rooms, including learning how to sit with my own.
I work with neurodivergent, self-aware, and highly sensitive people navigating the places where insight alone runs out.
I’m interested in what becomes possible when we stop trying to think our way through everything, and begin listening to what the body and the deeper parts of our selves are already telling us.
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Oakland, California, providing online therapy and telehealth counseling to adults throughout California. Sessions take place through secure video, allowing me to work with clients across Oakland, the Bay Area, and throughout the state.
My training includes MAPS MDMA-assisted therapy, Ketamine Therapy, trauma therapy, somatic psychotherapy, and art therapy.

journey & integration
i hold the space for you via telehealth as you take the medicine in the quiet of your home. remaining present with you on screen, we may begin with a guided meditation or intention work, allowing images and memories to surface at their own pace. in the days following, we meet for integration: time to sit with what arose and bring it back into your life.
"Ketamine-assisted therapy with Olivia helped me uncover a level of compassion I never thought I’d find. I carried resentment toward a family member for the pain they caused me. Through this work I was finally able to see the deeper layers underneath it all, without abandoning my experience. The forgiveness that came up felt real and deep. I left feeling lighter and more connected to myself than I have in years."
