Kayleigh Jamison, LMHC

Kayleigh Jamison is a licensed mental health counsellor in Tacoma, Washington, whose practice, Conquering Today Therapy, specialises in trauma and addiction and offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in the office. She sees adolescents, adults and couples.

Approach

She holds a master’s in clinical mental health counselling from Antioch University Seattle, a certificate in addiction studies, and two bachelor’s degrees from the University of South Florida, in psychology and in health science with a focus on substance abuse. A year of training with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute certified her as a psychedelic-assisted therapist, with years of harm reduction and integration work behind her. Her method is experiential, combining conversation with activities picked for each client, and she likes to point out body movements, attachment patterns from childhood and what is happening in the brain and body.

Who it is for

Besides trauma and addiction, clients come with depression, anxiety, codependency, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, grief and life transitions. She welcomes neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ clients, people in consensual non-monogamy, sex workers and the kink community.

Practical details

Individual sessions cost $160 and couples sessions $180 for 50 minutes, and ketamine-assisted sessions $200 an hour with a two-hour minimum, not counting the medicine. She takes no insurance but accepts HSA cards and gives superbills, and has a few reduced-fee places. Sessions are in person in Tacoma or online in Washington, and online only for clients in Florida and Colorado. A free 15-minute call comes first.

Care and safety

A typical ketamine programme opens with a session to judge suitability, then two sessions on expectations, grounding and self-regulation while the client gets medical clearance and a prescription from a provider she can refer to. Six to ten medicine sessions follow, usually twice a week, each an hour of medicine and an hour of integration.
