Lisa Nunn, LCSW

Every step and pause on our journeys’ are significant and connected. My path has included receiving a Bachelor’s and Masters of English from Texas State University (it was Southwest State University when I attended), being a stay-at-home mom of three boys, receiving my Master of Social Work twenty years after my first degrees, walking through the pain of family alcoholism and addiction, and building a thriving private practice.

Each client who comes to my office brings with them a story, the markers on their path that they may not know how to integrate or even identify. I believe my job as a therapist is to join them on that journey. To bring eyes and ears and sensations and most of all tools that can empower them as they continue on their path. Every person has within them all the information to be who they are; our job is to help them connect with that information and use it to the fullest. And, let go of anything that does not or cannot serve them.

For some time, those things that block them are hidden, submerged in the psyche. It was with these clients in mind that I became open to learning about an innovative method called KAP.

In 2020 I became familiar with Ketamine Infusion Therapy and Ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) as an adjunct treatment for PTSD, anxiety disorders, and treatment-resistant-depression. My husband had begun Ketamine I.V. infusion therapy for chronic migraines and anxiety—the treatment has reduced the severity of his migraines and lowered his overall anxiety. Most recently he has added KAP and sees improvement in his ability to develop and maintain positive coping skills in dealing with his anxiety and other stressors.

In mid-2022, my relationship with Dr. Jessen Mukalel, an Interventional Pain Medicine Specialist,{insert hyperlink on page- Jessen Mukalel, MD: Spine, Sports, and Interventional Pain Specialists The Woodlands, TX (drmukalel.com)} and his use of Ketamine Infusion therapy and interest in KAP prompted me to open Integrative Psychotherapy Center, LLC in order to continue to provide individual/couples and offer KAP as well.

My mission as a psychotherapist has always been to work as a team with my clients to find unique and creative methods to empower each person to live his/her/their best life. Collaborating with Dr. Mukalel and our team of clinicians to add KAP as another option for my clients is perfectly aligned with my mission.
