Matthias Von Reusner, M.D.
Ketamine Assisted
Psychotherapy

‍
After receiving my medical degree in Essen, Germany in 1994, I moved to the Scottish Highlands to train as a
rural General Practitioner (GP). In 1999, I became a US board-certified Family Physician and a partner at a
private family medicine practice in both Kingston and Catskill.

‍
My approach to medicine prioritizes building meaningful relationships with patients, combining a deep
understanding of their unique stories with lifestyle medicine principles to nurture lifelong wellness. With an
integrative medicine approach, I treat the whole of the person and apply mindful-based stress reduction
approaches to my daily work.

‍
In 2019, I began training in specialized modalities to better meet the unique needs of my patients. Inspired by
Peruvian shamanic work, I completed a 6-month training in energy medicine with Alberto Villoldo. I wanted to
provide deeper, more effective support for patients struggling with treatment resistant depression, post-traumatic
stress disorders, brain injuries, and addiction, problems that I recognize are deeply intertwined with the modern
epidemic of chronic lifestyle diseases.

‍
Inspired by the research that was emerging on the efficacy of ketamine in these areas, I trained in
ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with Phil Wolfson (leading expert in ketamine therapy and research).
Since then, I have integrated KAP and medical ketamine into my practice with success and have co-facilitated
several retreats for couples. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy provides a rare opportunity to heal from within,
addressing and healing the psychological and spiritual wounds that so often underlie physical illnesses. This
process can provide patients with a direct encounter with their whole, healthy, and connected Self. When
integrated alongside the care of a skilled and supportive therapist, this approach acts as a catalyst for the
necessary life changes that sustain long-term healing and well-being.

In addition to my clinical work, I am a certified 200 h yoga teacher, sound bath facilitator, and the medical
director in development of the complementary medicine programs at Menla,Dewa Medical
