Ketamine Therapy Oakland | Integration & Somatic Psychotherapy | Olivia Clear
You've done the work. Something still isn't moving.
You already understand yourself. Let's help your body catch up.
Ketamine assisted therapy and somatic psychotherapy for people who are highly self-aware, but still experience emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or disconnection in the body. Based in Oakland, serving the Bay Area and all of California online.
You've been in therapy, maybe worked with psychedelics, read the books, tracked the symptoms. You know your patterns. And yet there are places in your body that haven't caught up with what your mind already knows.
That gap is what this work is for.
I'm Olivia Clear, a licensed therapist in Oakland offering ketamine assisted therapy and somatic integration for people who are highly self-aware and still struggling. Not because they haven't tried. Because insight alone doesn't always reach the places where things are actually held.
Who finds their way here
People who have lived with chronic illness and learned to perform fine while their body said otherwise. People whose nervous systems learned early that softness wasn't safe. People who have sat in circles, worked with psychedelics, held space for others, and still find themselves in a dark room they can't think their way out of.
If you've ever felt like the most self-aware person in the room and still couldn't change the thing that needed changing, you're in the right place.
What we do
Ketamine assisted therapy creates a window. A temporary loosening of the patterns the mind has spent years building. What we do inside that window, and in the weeks after it, is what determines whether anything actually shifts.
Each container includes preparation sessions, a supported medicine journey held in the quiet of your own home with music, intention, and presence, and dedicated ketamine integration work in the days and weeks following. Ketamine creates rapid openings. Integration is where those openings become lasting change.
This is not a protocol. It is a relationship across time.
I've been working with people in expanded states since 2020. My approach is informed by lived experience with chronic illness and by years of sitting with people in their darkest rooms, including my own.
I work with neurodivergent people navigating the places where insight alone runs out.
That sustained work, across time and in relationship, is what I do.
Based in Oakland. Serving the Bay Area and all of California via telehealth.
I hold licensure as an LPCC in California and am trained in MAPS MDMA-assisted therapy, somatic therapy, EMDR, and art therapy.

"Ketamine-assisted therapy with Olivia helped me uncover a level of compassion I never thought I’d find. For years I carried resentment toward a family member for the pain they caused me. Through this work I was finally able to see the deeper layers underneath it all, without abandoning my experience. The forgiveness that came up felt real and deep. I left feeling lighter and more connected to myself than I have in years."
