Founded By

SAMANTHA TRAMUTA

Samantha is an experienced couples and family therapist, psychedelic-assisted therapist, and addictions specialist known for her grounded, relational style. She founded Higher Ground to give overwhelmed, chronically over-functioning- but emotionally disconnected- people a place to slow down, go deeper, and rediscover how to feel and connect again.

Drawing from her expertise in attachment science, complex trauma, and the neurobiology of mind-body integration, Samantha integrates modalities like Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy to help clients move beyond coping and toward genuine connection. She specializes in working with those who’ve never fully clicked with traditional therapy.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy offers a refined, therapy-centered process for psychedelic work.

Ketamine is not a trend or spiritual shortcut here; it’s a scientifically grounded tool, applied with precision, safety, and care to help individuals and couples heal trauma, repair disconnection, and rediscover emotional intimacy.

Rooted in attachment science, emotionally focused therapy, and the neurobiology of bonding, our work helps couples understand and transform the patterns that drive conflict, distance, and disconnection. Sessions are intentional, immersive, and emotionally restorative- focused on creating real repair, not just learning tools.

These experiences are designed to interrupt entrenched cycles, restore emotional balance, and create lasting change.
