Many people come to ketamine when other approaches to healing have not worked; together we create a treatment plan that works for you. You will have a separate medical evaluation with the psychiatrist to make sure ketamine is right for you. It is important to me that you feel safe and supported every step of the way. Clinically, I work from a lens that combines traditional psychoanalytic theories such as object relations and attachment theory with somatic awareness. As a longtime practitioner and teacher of yoga and mindfulness meditation, I often incorporate these teachings as well as lessons from sacred plant wisdom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582cbfd9c534a5ac3b60d1ca/1605048530876-YFYTOQUSNNUDFRTAAQD6/hands.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582cbfd9c534a5ac3b60d1ca/1607040072840-KPN3IWITWIGDI72QY09V/029keri_vaca_photographer_Melissa_Whippo.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582cbfd9c534a5ac3b60d1ca/1605049541660-ABUOZM25X5BXOGO0APBE/032keri_vaca_photographer_Melissa_Whippo.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582cbfd9c534a5ac3b60d1ca/1605048367082-RYYRUE6YYEKETJFACBL4/yoga+pose.jpeg Services https://melissawhippo.com/about-me daily 0.75 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582cbfd9c534a5ac3b60d1ca/1605053783358-ZP33D5UINTDMKKZ0PUCF/009keri_vaca_photographer_Melissa_Whippo.jpg About me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582cbfd9c534a5ac3b60d1ca/1605054093457-99PCC2BXW6S56PFGIKLF/009keri_vaca_photographer_Melissa_Whippo.jpg About me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582cbfd9c534a5ac3b60d1ca/1605137832220-7S1J8A6M33NYIXG8YT9O/chakra8.jpg About me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582cbfd9c534a5ac3b60d1ca/1605208447257-4EG97VW2U5MO0D74TT2H/image.jpg About me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582cbfd9c534a5ac3b60d1ca/1605298419672-SWTPE15FFGV50K8RSKN4/005keri_vaca_photographer_Melissa_Whippo.jpg About me - “It is in the space between the inner and outer world, which is also the space between people—the transitional space—that intimate relationships and creativity occur.” D.W.

Our stories matter. Create more space for your journey. Discover your medicine. She supports people to integrate all the parts of themselves, as wholeness in mind, body and spirit enables all of us to thrive and offer our unique gifts to the world. Integration is key to wholeness and wellness; I encourage you to share your story to expand your understanding of patterns, habits, and choices that currently limit your growth. I explore dream work, familial origins and trauma in service of your journey to heal and thrive. In a direct but kind and loving way, I will reflect with you about your past and present experiences that keep you stuck in survival mode. Together we will reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, address trauma and grief, and create space for your healing. The therapeutic relationship can be a mirror for other relationships in your life and constellation; within this safe container, we can explore what arises and create strategies that help you on your journey.
