Hi, I’m Dr. Kristy Center, a clinical psychologist specializing in trauma-informed somatic therapy, Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, and psychedelic integration. My approach is rooted in deep compassion and a commitment to helping you heal on a mind-body level. I understand that trauma doesn’t just live in our thoughts—it’s stored in our nervous system and bodies. That’s why I incorporate somatic therapy, a body-centered approach that helps release stored tension and cultivate resilience. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, PTSD, depression, or life transitions, I offer a supportive space where you can reconnect with your best self and move toward lasting change. For those interested in alternative healing modalities, I also provide Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. This is a powerful treatment that can create shifts in perspective, ease emotional pain, and support deeper healing. I also offer psychedelic integration therapy, helping individuals process and integrate insights from psychedelic experiences into their daily lives in a meaningful and sustainable way.
