Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for people who are highly self-aware, but still experience emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or disconnection in the body. In Oakland and online across California.

You are not struggling with insight.
You need support expanding your capacity.

you know the moment a creative spark or a sense of desire appears.
when something shifts.

the internal critic comes online.
your body tightens.
the clarity disappears.

you reach for your phone without thinking
or start organizing something that doesn’t matter
or quietly step out of the moment you actually wanted
not because you don’t care.
because the stakes of being seen feel too high for your system to hold.

This work is for those navigating:

• nervous system sensitivity that disrupts consistency

• ADHD or attentional variability that affects follow-through

• chronic illness or fatigue that changes capacity day to day

• grief, complexity, or relational intensity that does not resolve through insight alone

This is not a discipline problem.
It is not a communication failure.

It is a protective nervous system response.

You are not broken.

Your body has patterns that don’t work for you.

WHAT THIS WORK IS:

We use somatic awareness and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to work with your system at the level where change actually occurs.

Rather than asking you to override your patterns, we focus on building the internal capacity required to stay present inside them.

This is not insight-driven work alone.
It is integration across body, emotion, and experience.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Many approaches focus on understanding your patterns.

This work focuses on what your nervous system can do differently over time.

We track not only insight, but:

• how your system responds under emotional activation

• your ability to stay present instead of shutting down or overextending

• the gradual expansion of capacity in real-life situations

• the integration between what you understand and what your body can hold

The goal is not self-understanding alone.
The goal is increased capacity to stay engaged with your life.

WHAT CAN CHANGE OVER TIME

• Recognizing activation before it takes over your behavior

• Staying present in your body during emotional intensity

• Moving through relationships without collapsing or overextending

• Accessing clarity without disconnecting from feeling

• Expanding your ability to remain engaged with your life under stress

ABOUT THE WORK

This work is for people whose insight has outpaced their nervous system.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can temporarily soften rigid patterns of thought and emotional constriction, creating access to states where new experience becomes possible.

The focus is not the experience itself.

The focus is what your system becomes capable of afterward.

I’m Olivia Clear, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).

Since 2020, I’ve been working with individuals who feel deeply and want to live authentically rather than just survive using Ketamine Assisted Therapy. My approach is informed by lived experience with chronic illness, neurodivergence, and navigating the complexities of healthcare systems.

This work is not about fixing what is broken or searching for quick solutions. It’s about remembering what guides you. In this space, healing becomes an act of reclamation: of your capacity to love your life, honor your desires, and recognize your own quiet power.

My practice integrates somatic therapy, EMDR, and art therapy, grounded in MAPS MDMA-Assisted Therapy training. Together, we move at a pace that honors your nervous system, allowing you to return to yourself with curiosity and care.
