Please see the bottom of this email to schedule an appointment.

OUR MISSION AND VALUES

The Advanced Integrative Medical Science (AIMS) Institute is an outpatient clinic and research institute located at 2825 Eastlake Ave E, #115 Seattle, WA 98102, dedicated to advancing integrative medical care, research, and education in oncology, psychiatry, neurology, rehabilitation, and palliative care. Our clinic was founded in 2018 by Drs. Leanna J. Standish, N.D., Ph.D. and Sunil K. Aggarwal, M.D., Ph.D. who serve as its co-directors.

At our core, we recognize the right of everyone to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications, and we are driven by the values of health and social justice. We have committed to the The Earth Charter, which declares that

Our environmental, economic, political, social, and spiritual challenges are interconnected, and together we can forge inclusive solutions.”

As such, we are making strides to improve the accessibility of our programs for all patients and support our community’s resilience and efficacy.

Our primary aim is to provide advanced high-quality integrative medical care for patients living with chronic and serious illness, with conditions traditionally covered by oncology, neurology, psychiatry, rehabilitation and palliative care. Services will be covered predominantly through insurance coverage and with some private pay. AIMS Institute clinicians are in-network with a growing list of public and private insurers.

We are fostering a culture of research and invite patients to participate in prospective observational studies we are doing to study the outcomes of the care we are providing at AIMS. We will be developing a professional education program and are starting an in-house residency training program in naturopathic oncology in November 2018 and plan to host other clinician-learners from area academic medicine teaching programs

Ketamine assisted psychotherapy in postpartum mood and anxiety disorders: a limited case series

Ketamine assisted psychotherapy in postpartum mood and anxiety disorders: a limited case series

Alka Christnacht1Therry Rose Eparwa1,2Emily Whinkin2*Sunil Aggarwal2,3 The postpartum period is notorious for rapid and profound changes for birthing individuals and their families. Significant shifts to hormonal and physical health, routines and family roles, and the salience of personal and community risk factors all contribute to potential psychiatric and psychological distress for parents, sometimes diagnosed as a postpartum mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD). Existing pharmacologic treatment modalities for PMADs do not comprehensively address the profound shifts of the postpartum period, often inadequate at reaching peak therapeutic efficacy in a shorter time frame, in patient accessibility, or offering sustained benefit. Ketamine assisted ...
