After being unable to determine the root cause of my occipital migraine headaches and suffering for nearly 2 years, I was referred to Dr. Mukalel by my neurologist for pain management. After learning I suffered from general anxiety disorder, Dr. Mukalel suggested I try Ketamine Infusion Therapy (KIT) to help with the anxiety that was in-part triggering the migraine headaches. As I progressed through the initial 6 KIT infusions, I immediately began to feel relief from my anxiety and the migraines. Today, I continue with KIT every 4-6 weeks and I have also begun Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAT) through the Integrative Psychotherapy Center (IPC). KAT is psychotherapy while under a minimal dose of ketamine to address specific life events, with my therapist’s help, that can trigger anxiety episodes. I cannot say enough about KIT and KAT for the positive impact these treatment methods have had on returning the quality of my life. I am so grateful for the help I have received from Dr. Mukalel and the Integrative Psychotherapy Center.
