Clinic Info
About your Clinic:Windows Health Clinic provides innovative mental health services to Sonoma County and beyond at our treatment facility in Cotati, California, conveniently located just 45 miles north of San Francisco.
Description of Services:We believe in increasing accessibility to psychotherapy. Our team of highly skilled clinicians offers affordable individual and couples therapy for self-pay clients or clients with insurance that we accept: Aetna, Megallan/Blue Shield, Optum/United Healthcare, CIGNA, and Carelon (formerly Beacon). We can also provide a superbill that can be submitted to insurance companies for reimbursement.
Individual Psychotherapy: We believe it is important to feel secure connection with others. Individual psychotherapy facilitates a corrective experience in which you feel emotionally safe and securely bonded. Our therapists focus on the present process unfolding in each session, attuning to you with empathy and responsiveness. We help you to see your strengths, make you feel heard and validated, and assist in reconciling your feelings, so that you can develop a more positive, coherent, and meaningful narrative about yourself and life. We are wired for emotional connection and even our most seemingly destructive or negative behaviors are an attempt to feel loved, safe, connected, and like we belong. Everyone’s behavior makes sense when we take the time to acknowledge the adaptive reasons they developed in the first place. By better understanding patterns, habits, fears, longings, vulnerabilities, and ways of processing, you can be empowered with more choice in how you relate to yourself and others. Individual psychotherapy is a journey toward feeling more balanced emotionally, more mentally open, more flexible in how you respond to the challenges of life, and more deeply engaged and available to learn and grow.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy: Studies show that ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is effective in treating emotional diagnoses, such as anxiety and depression. Compelling, peer-reviewed literature accumulates on ketamine's effectiveness and lower risk profiles than many other medications (example article). With decades of safe use, we embrace the potential for KAP to benefit those with a wide variety of diagnoses, especially for treatment-resistant cases. We are proud to be on the cutting edge of mental health practice, offering Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy by double board-certified anesthesiologist and critical care physician Nate Lowry, MD and session support and integration therapy by licensed psychotherapist Wes Hamper, LMFT.
Couples Therapy: A healthy relationship can be a powerful contributor to happiness in our lives. Couples therapy supports the pursuit of functional, satisfying relationships and investigates the causes of partners’ problems so that it can address detrimental patterns in their dynamic. Often there are conflicting points of view to navigate, distress to alleviate, dilemmas to resolve, awareness to build, skills to acquire, damage to repair, and compassion to renew. Individuals may learn how to better manage their own reactions and feelings, and by better understanding themselves, they can more effectively communicate what they need and want, and better support each other.

Overview of Experience:Specific to our ketamine-assisted psychotherapy services, our typical client is made comfortable in our treatment room and taken under the care of two professionals: a medical doctor and a psychotherapist with specialized training. Music is selected optimally for the desired experience and tastes of the client. Medication is delivered intravenously for responsiveness and precise control, and guidance begins at the taper of dosing. Integration therapy is scheduled for ensuing days, and follow-up ketamine sessions are also scheduled, as appropriate.
Intake Process:Existing psychotherapy clients in our care may consult with us about incorporating medication assistance into their therapy. For new clients considering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, we have an initial consultation via phone or in-person, we complete consent and intake forms including medical history, and we conduct assessments to determine eligibility and ensure safety.
