Christian Reusche, MD
Psychiatrist, Psychoanalysis, Psychedelic Research
Santa Monica CA
I work with professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives who want more than quick fixes or rushed appointments. My approach is collaborative, personalized, and designed to help you regain clarity, stability, and momentum. We focus not just on symptom relief, but optimizing how you think, feel, and perform.
Psychedelic assisted therapies such as Ketamine assisted therapy can be used, depending on the case, and the journey is a unique process for everyone. My role is to respect, prepare you, and allow you to be/feel supported and safe with the whole experience; providing a safe, cozy, welcoming environment with interventions as you need them for your journey. Processing is extremely important, especially after a profound experience, so our goal is to discuss, prepare, and incorporate that prior to and after each experience.
If you are not ready to partake in a medicine journey, we can take other approaches.
I'm a board certified psychiatrist that completed psychiatric training from the Medical University of South Carolina, and a medical degree from Rutgers, New Jersey Medical School. I've worked in all types of settings, but private practice and depth psychotherapy has been the most extensive. My practice is located in Santa Monica, CA.
The psychedelic & MDMA assisted therapy training was achieved through MAPS. I was one of the clinicians for the FDA approved Phase 3 trials: MDMA assisted psychotherapy for PTSD. Mentoring was also facilitated by Annie and Michael Mithoefer in Charleston, SC. Psychoanalytic training acquired through the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas, where I trained for over 5yrs. Ketamine assisted therapy was facilitated by Dr. Yevgeniy Gelfand in Charleston, SC.

Having a psychiatrist who is experienced, interested, and open to alternative treatments allows for a more expansive, intimate, profound, and wholesome approach. Less than 1% of psychiatrists have psychoanalytic training (5-yrs or more, in addition to an MD), and psychedelic assisted training and research through MAPS. Complex cases are welcomed.
Ketamine assisted therapy (KAP) is offered; your journey is highly supervised and deeply processed. If KAP is not sufficient , we can discuss other methods of treatment.
