At the OVID Clinic Berlin, we support you on your path to mental health - with modern therapeutic approaches that are individually tailored to your needs.
In addition to conventional psychotherapeutic methods, we are the leading clinic for psychedelic-augmented therapies in Germany - on the current state of medicine. These provide in-depth insights and promote sustainable change.
How can ketamine therapy (KAP) help within psychotherapy?
Sometimes entrenched thought patterns or deep emotional wounds block the healing process. In such cases, approaches such as ketamine-augmented psychotherapy (KAP) can help to release these barriers and open up new perspectives. Our KAP differs significantly from the ketamine therapy used in other clinics: Experienced therapists and doctors combine these approaches with tailored psychotherapy to guide you gently and safely through this process.
What is used within ketamine therapy?
Our therapies are based on scientifically sound methods:
- Ketamine: A safe, well-researched medication that can have a supportive effect in cases of depression, anxiety or trauma.
- Psychotherapy according to guidelines: Behavioral therapy and depth psychology-based approaches that are individually tailored to your situation.
- Under certain circumstances, additional non-pharmacological techniques such as breathwork, light stimulation or virtual reality to enhance the therapeutic effect.

Psychedelic psychotherapies can supplement guideline treatment with psychotherapy and, if necessary, medication. Psychedelic-augmented psychotherapy can provide new impetus, especially when conventional approaches have not had the desired effect. In a personal preliminary consultation, we will clarify together whether this form of therapy is suitable for you and whether all medical requirements are met. Your safety and careful guidance are our top priority, which is why we take the time to discuss all questions and concerns in detail.
In psychedelic augmented therapy, you will receive an active substance with a psychedelic effect before your session. The substances we use can help to break through old thought patterns more quickly and effectively store new thought patterns. This type of session takes place in a calm, protected environment and is supervised by experienced professionals. The aim is to stimulate profound and lasting change.
In the context of psychedelic psychotherapy, strong inner processes including vivid inner images, feelings and memories are desired. However, this intensity of experience can also be perceived as difficult or frightening. Less frequently, symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness or heavy sweating may also occur. Immediately after administration of the drug, temporary psychological side effects may also occur, such as the feeling of being disconnected from one's own thoughts, feelings or surroundings (dissociation). This reaction is carefully considered, especially in patients with known panic attacks.
