Patient Questions about Santa Cruz Transformational Therapy
This 3-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Santa Cruz Transformational Therapy treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Does Santa Cruz Transformational Therapy offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Yes — Santa Cruz Transformational Therapy 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 Santa Cruz Transformational Therapy suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Santa Cruz Transformational Therapy 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 Santa Cruz Transformational Therapy help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Santa Cruz Transformational Therapy 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.
