Holistic Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for Women Who Are Depressed When They Are Not Expressed, and Who Are Committed to Flourishing Creatively & Erotically

You're here because you've spent many hours (maybe years) trying different therapies and healing modalities, and yet this mysterious homesickness still floods your soul. It's a feeling of not quite inhabiting the full person you know deep down you were born to be. It's a feeling of not having fully "arrived" yet (in the right relationship, the right body, the right home community, the right livelihood or self-expression . . .). Sometimes it's a whisper and sometimes it hurts like hell.

You know who you are, and I know who you are, because I've been there, and I've seen it in my practice over and over again. Often those of us who are called to live a big, soulful, trailblazing and artistic life have to face down all kinds of demons on our path to joy, connection, full expression, home and aliveness. And sometimes we need powerful, sacred healing containers and modalities to help us cultivate the light and transformation that can only be found in the underworld.

"You can't get any more pure than when you have a body on this earth and when you are creating or in prayer or making love."
- Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes -

I'm a multi-trained ketamine-assisted psychotherapist with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. Along the way, I've become EMDR-trained, holistic nutrition certified, shamanic energy medicine lineage-initiated and I've studied in-person under Jungian analyst Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes and Shipibo medicine people in ayahuasca ceremonies. I've also taken numerous deep dives into somatic healing, including but not limited to become trained as a Body Temple Dance teacher. As an artist, bestselling author/poet and Love Witch, I completely understand what it's like to be a radical woman trying to come into full expression in this world, and the spiral dance of learning to love all the wounded parts and intergenerational trauma that comes up along the way. I bring oracle cards, astrological awareness, tailored somatic meditations, parts work and an awake, available heart to each session.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and I work with women (and anyone of any gender interested in the feminine path of descent into the underworld) one-on-one, and I also provide low-cost, intimate ketamine-assisted psychotherapy groups, as well as ketamine-assisted counseling for couples. Sometimes we need to gift ourselves a profound and sacred experience in order to birth the transformation that is paining to come through us. You are so worth it. Reach out for a free, chillaxed 20-minute heart-to-heart to see if this is for you 🌹

I believe that magic is art and that art, whether it be writing, music, sculpture, or any other form is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words, or images, to achieve changes in consciousness."
- Alan Moore -

As a holistic, somatically-oriented ketamine psychotherapist, I combine an awareness of the importance of lifestyle medicine and a sacred, deep relationship to the body with cutting-edge trauma-healing therapy (like EMDR) to assist you in coming fully alive and fully expressed in all your glorious creative and erotic potency. I have gone out of my way to receive respectful, multi-layered, experiential training in some of the indigenous medicine systems of South America (involving the plant medicine systems of the Shipibo people and the shamanic energy medicine systems of the Qero people), and I consider this to be an integral foundation to the way I provide psychedelic therapy. 

Ongoing consultation with, and reciprocity to, indigenous communities, and to the cultural and ecological systems from which psychedelic medicines emerge, has been woven into the model of this practice.

It is my absolute joy to watch women and feminine beings soften open, come alive, and access the full range of their creative, erotic, sacred power, living wild, unique, authentic lives. I believe this is medicine for the whole planet. I am proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming. My asexual friends are not precluded from finding sacred, erotic opening as Eros is not necessarily always sexual. I powerfully weave hypnosis, lifestyle medicine, dreamwork, EMDR and Shamanic Energy Medicine in ways that facilitate powerful transformation for people who are really motivated and ready for change.

Meet Annalise Oatman

I'm a Woodstock-based ketamine-assisted psychotherapist serving all of California, but you might also call me an inner child whisperer, fairy godmother, Alan Moore-dork, ultra-Pisces, and Dionysian artist. I help artists and creatives who want more than anything to show up fully in life, in love or in their life’s work, but get hung up because of some seemingly impenetrable thicket of self-doubt, apathy, anxiety, depression, or maybe even trauma or terror.
