Dr. Tracy Gangi has been providing clients with empathetic, compassionate guidance and expertise in her private practice for over a decade. While her specialty is treating adult ADHD, her professional therapeutic experience covers a wide range of emotional and trauma-based therapies and solutions for people in various stages of life, ranging from late adolescence to seniors, treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and more.

As a New York State Licensed Clinical Psychologist and leader in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, she now works exclusively with clients seeking ketamine-based treatments in their Long Island homes or remotely throughout New York state. Dr. Gangi is certified through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute as a psychedelic-assisted therapist – a mental health professional who has received extensive training to manage a) the non-ordinary state-of-consciousness sessions and b) the integration of insights into post-ketamine treatments.

During a Ketamine Assisted Therapy session, a client experiences a short-lived but intense subjective experience, which is an effective alternative to the current medical position in place to treat depression, anxiety, and substance abuse by manipulating neurochemical imbalances in the brain (at serotonin and dopamine receptors, etc.) using daily medication. Instead, psychedelic medicines such as ketamine have the effect of growing new dendrites at the ends of neurons in the brain, resulting in more diffuse communications throughout the brain, lending towards mental flexibility, openness, and more adaptive thinking patterns. Psychedelic medicines also decrease activity in the Default Mode Network (DMN) in the brain which is responsible for self-referential thinking.  In conditions such as depression, the DMN is implicated in negative self-referential thinking which is a hallmark symptom of depression and other mental health conditions which negatively impact quality of life.

What Conditions Can Be Potentially Managed by Ketamine Therapy Administered Remotely?

Ketamine therapy employs low doses of ketamine – which is a dissociative anesthetic medication, as a way to help treat various mental health conditions. It has been shown to help with

  • Treatment-resistant depression.
  • Anxiety disorders that disrupt daily routines.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

With ketamine treatments, many patients report symptom improvements (especially depression), sometimes hours or even days post-treatment. With a minimum of six ketamine sessions spaced no more than one week apart, the positive effects are much longer lasting, at times up to one year or longer, although results are patient-specific. Dr. Gangi offers no less than six Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) sessions and one integration session within a few days after each treatment.

Dr. Gangi, who works from Long Island, New York, collaborates with a Double-Board-Certified Psychiatrist and Licensed Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners to ensure quality ketamine-based therapeutic care is provided in accordance with APA regulations, ethical guidelines, and state licensure mandates.
