✓ Last verified: April 8, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: Dedicated ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) practice using lozenge and IM administration with deep psychotherapeutic integration, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. AEDP-trained therapist with 10+ years of clinical experience.

HealingMaps Take: Laura Wiginton offers one of the most therapy-focused ketamine experiences in Houston. As a Level 2 AEDP therapist and member of the American Society of Ketamine Practitioners, she brings deep clinical training to every session. KAP sessions run 2.5–3 hours — significantly longer than a typical infusion — allowing time for the medicine to soften psychological defenses while Laura guides patients through the material that surfaces. Medical supervision is provided by Dr. Sandhya Prashad during sessions. This is an ideal fit for patients who want ketamine as a catalyst for deep psychotherapeutic work rather than a standalone medical treatment.

Market Position: Laura Wiginton LCSW treats both depression and PTSD — the two most common ketamine therapy indications, accounting for 34% of HealingMaps patient inquiries.

Patient Questions about Laura Wiginton LCSW

This 3-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Laura Wiginton LCSW treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

Does Laura Wiginton LCSW offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?

Yes — Laura Wiginton LCSW offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.

Is Laura Wiginton LCSW suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Laura Wiginton LCSW treats depression via KAP for trauma-anchored depression. Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.

Can Laura Wiginton LCSW help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Laura Wiginton LCSW treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
