Emily Hackenburg, PMHNP/FNP-BC
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
-
Hi there, my name is Emily. I’m a dual board-certified PMHNP and FNP offering integrative care for adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, OCD, stress and burnout and life transitions.
My dual certification informs both my medical and mental health lens, allowing me to bring a broad diagnostic and whole-person perspective to care. My approach is relational and grounded in the connection between mind, body, lived experience, and the nervous system.
In addition to conventional psychiatry and medication management, my work is informed by years of experience as a ketamine therapist and training in psychedelic medicine.
Drawing from attachment theory, polyvagal principles, mind-body practices, and my years as a yoga teacher, I may also integrate breathwork, somatic practices, and nervous system regulation when helpful.
I take time to understand what is important to you, what may be getting in the way, and how to support you in moving toward what matters most..
Treatment planning is individualized and may include medication management, ketamine-assisted therapy, mindfulness, somatic and nervous system-based practices and collaboration with your broader care team.

Our first visit is an opportunity to get to know you, better understand what brings you to treatment, and begin shaping a plan for next steps. We’ll review your current concerns, history, goals, and any prior treatment experiences, while also considering the mind-body, relational, and lifestyle factors that may be influencing how you feel. Together, we’ll begin identifying what kind of support may be most helpful and whether my approach feels like a good fit.

Medication can be a valuable tool when considered within a comprehensive approach. Together, we’ll explore your options, discuss important considerations, and support you in making an informed decision.

Deprescribing is a collaborative process for reducing or discontinuing psychiatric medication when appropriate. Together, we’ll review the potential benefits, risks, timing, supports, and develop a gradual tapering plan that prioritizes safety, comfort, and ongoing monitoring

Psychedelic harm reduction offers support for people who are curious about or planning to use psychedelics. With advanced training in psychedelic medicine, I provide informed guidance around risks, contraindications, medication interactions, preparation, and integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Integrative psychiatry is a whole-person approach that understands mental health in the context of your lived experiences, biology, lifestyle, relationships, and values.
Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, we explore underlying contributors that may be shaping how you feel, cope, and connect. Care is collaborative and may include medication management, nutrition and lifestyle support, nutraceuticals or herbs, mindfulness, somatic practices, and nervous system-based tools.
The goal is to create an individualized plan that supports symptom relief, somatic regulation, meaningful growth, and a fuller connection to life.
-
Ketamine-assisted therapy (KAT) combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine with psychotherapy to support emotional processing, new perspectives, and meaningful change.
I offer intramuscular (IM) ketamine treatment, beginning with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to determine whether ketamine is an appropriate option.
Treatment includes preparation, therapeutic support during dosing sessions, and integration to help process the experience and incorporate insights into daily life. I can provide these services directly or collaborate with your existing therapist, who may lead the preparation and integration sessions while I provide ketamine administration, monitoring, and support during dosing.
The treatment pathway is individualized, with an emphasis on safety, continuity of care, and a supportive therapeutic relationship.
-
I work with adults navigating mood disorders like depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma, ADHD, OCD, life transitions, personal growth.
Care is individualized, collaborative and grounded in both evidenced-informed treatment and attention to the whole person.
-
Psychedelic harm reduction is a supportive, clinically informed approach for people who are curious about or planning to use psychedelics outside of clinical treatment. Most psychedelics other than ketamine are not currently FDA-approved, though they are being studied for trauma, depression, existential distress, and personal exploration, with promising results.
With advanced training in psychedelic medicine, I stay current with the research and provide knowledgeable guidance around risks, contraindications, medication interactions, preparation, and integration to support safety, clarity, and meaning-making.
Please note: I do not facilitate or make referrals for non-FDA-approved psychedelic substances.
