Cognitive Psychologist: How Low Dose Ketamine Can Improve Your Life | The Mental Healness Podcast

In this episode of the Mental Healness Podcast, Lee Hammock interviews Dr. Sharon Niv, a cognitive psychologist and co-founder of Joyous PBC, about the transformative potential of low-dose ketamine therapy. They discuss the differences between psycholytic and psychedelic states, the therapeutic benefits of ketamine for anxiety and depression, and the importance of creating a safe space for emotional exploration. Dr. Niv emphasizes the need for accessibility in mental health care and the potential for ketamine to help individuals break through emotional barriers and achieve greater self-awareness and resilience. Sharon Niv, Ph.D. is a cognitive psychologist exploring how contemplative and therapeutic methods can reshape mental wellness. Her work spans mindfulness, cognitive science, and the psychology of consciousness, with a special focus on how altered or expanded states of mind can promote emotional growth and resilience. In 2022, Sharon co-founded Joyous PBC, a public benefit company dedicated to making mental health care more affordable and accessible through low-dose, or psycholytic, approaches to ketamine treatment. At Joyous, she leads clinical research, designs digital therapeutics optimized for the psycholytic state, and developed Joyous for Therapists—a free training and collaboration program helping clinicians integrate these methods safely into their practice. Sharon is passionate about bringing new insight to the conversation on mental health: how lighter-touch, more personalized approaches to psychoactive medicine can unlock self-understanding, compassion, and long-term healing. She hopes to share with your audience how cognitive mechanisms of psycholytic and psychedelic medicine can inform a new era of personalized, evidence-based mental wellness.
