✓ Last verified: April 10, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: WestCoast Therapy and Wellness is a therapy-forward ketamine practice led by Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Christy Tadros, with offices in Oakland and San Francisco. The clinic specializes in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for treatment-resistant OCD, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, emphasizing deep therapeutic integration rather than medication-only protocols. Their personalized approach pairs each patient with a therapist throughout the ketamine journey, ensuring meaningful psychological work accompanies every session.

HealingMaps Take: WestCoast Therapy and Wellness stands out for making psychotherapy the centerpiece of ketamine treatment rather than an afterthought. Christy Tadros’s specialization in OCD and eating disorders gives this practice a niche expertise that most ketamine clinics lack entirely. The dual Oakland/SF locations add convenience for Bay Area patients. If you’re looking for deep therapeutic work alongside ketamine rather than a quick infusion-and-go experience, this practice’s therapy-first model is exactly what the research supports for lasting outcomes.

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

Patient Questions about WestCoast Therapy and Wellness

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

Does WestCoast Therapy and Wellness offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?

Yes — WestCoast Therapy and Wellness 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 WestCoast Therapy and Wellness suited for treatment-resistant depression?

WestCoast Therapy and Wellness 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 WestCoast Therapy and Wellness help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — WestCoast Therapy and Wellness 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.
