Integrative Psychotherapy · Somatic & Metabolic Health
Pewee Valley, Kentucky
Integrative care
for the whole person.
Depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, sexual concerns, metabolic health, the shifting terrain of perimenopause and menopause — when life has lost its sense of coherence, Dr. Monica Hurt brings nearly two decades of deep integrative training to meet you with exactly what your situation calls for.
"Healing is a journey, not a destination. I bring science and soul to walk it with you, one step at a time."

People ready to come back to themselves.
An Eclectic Integrative Approach
From science to spirituality — whatever healing requires.
True wellbeing has a feeling. When the body, mind, and nervous system are in flow, everything becomes clearer. Monica does not work from a single framework because no single framework fits every human being. Her approach is deliberately eclectic — fluid, personalized, and drawn from wherever the work needs to go. Treatment is personalized each and every time.
The full spectrum of what healing can be.
Specialty Focus
Helping women find their way back through perimenopause and menopause.
Perimenopause and menopause can make women feel profoundly out of sync — with their bodies, their moods, their relationships, and their sense of self. Monica is one of a small number of therapists in the region who approaches this transition from a genuinely integrative standpoint, grounded in original doctoral research.

About Monica
A clinician shaped
by her own becoming.
Monica has spent nearly two decades building one of the most complete integrative clinical practices in the region. She brings together psychotherapy, the full scope of integrative health including metabolic and nutritional approaches, somatic work, and depth practice — meeting each person with exactly what their healing requires.
She is also the author of Intuitive Self Care: Creating an Owner's Manual for Self and the developer of Liminal Somatic Therapy — an original integrative framework born from years of clinical practice and personal healing.
An Original Framework
Liminal Somatic Therapy — the thread beneath all the work.
Monica developed Liminal Somatic Therapy after nearly two decades of integrative clinical practice — her own coherent framework weaving together neuroscience, somatic intelligence, depth psychology, and neuroplasticity-assisted states into a single model of lasting change.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
When the brain needs
a new opening.
A medically supervised, therapist-present protocol for people who need something that works at a neurological level.
There are people who have done years of therapy, tried every medication, and still feel stuck — still unable to find their flow, still out of sync with themselves. Not because they aren't trying, but because the brain's habitual patterns have become walls. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works by temporarily creating a window of neuroplasticity, a biological opening where deeply ingrained patterns can begin to shift.
This is not a ketamine infusion clinic. Monica practices KAP the way it was designed to be done — with a trained psychotherapist present for the entire medicine session, an on-site medical provider administering intramuscular ketamine, and a full integration protocol to ensure the insights become lasting change. This is how the FDA-approved model was intended to work.
The neuroscience is clear: ketamine rapidly increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), promotes synaptogenesis, and temporarily quiets the default mode network — the part of the brain responsible for rumination and rigid self-narrative. Within this window, the therapeutic relationship does its most powerful work.

About Monica
A clinician shaped
by her own becoming.
A lifetime of curiosity, deep clinical training, and personal healing — distilled into one unusually complete integrative approach.
Meet Dr. Monica Hurt
Dr. Monica Hurt came to this work the way most healers do — through her own becoming. Her clinical identity was not forged only in training programs. It was shaped by her own sustained engagement with healing — through yoga and somatic discovery, through doctoral research in integrative health, through years of learning what it actually takes for a human nervous system to find its flow again.
She is warm and direct in session, rigorously trained beneath the surface, and genuinely funny when the moment calls for it. She works with men, women, and couples across a broad range of concerns — from depression and anxiety to trauma, sexual health, relationship breakdown, and the terrain of serious life transitions.
Her doctorate in integrative health encompasses the full science of whole-person healing — including metabolic health, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and psychoneuroimmunology. Her doctoral dissertation took that knowledge further, developing the first clinical protocol combining ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with hormone replacement therapy for perimenopausal women, and that research continues to inform her clinical work today.
Monica also brings sacred shamanic principles to her practice for clients who are drawn to that dimension of healing — a thread woven through her own personal journey and her clinical framework, Liminal Somatic Therapy.
She practices in Pewee Valley, Kentucky, in person and remotely, and partners with physicians and hormone care specialists in the Louisville area to provide coordinated, whole-person care.
Credentials & Training
Ways We Can Work Together
Every path back to
yourself is different.
Whether you are arriving in crisis or arriving curious, there is a place to start.
One-on-one work for depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, burnout, identity, and more. The approach is eclectic and fluid — drawn from whichever methods fit your nervous system and your story, personalized every single time.
As a Doctor of Integrative Health, Monica brings the full scope of whole-person medicine into the session — including metabolic health, nutritional strategies, targeted supplements, and lifestyle approaches where relevant.
AASECT-trained sex therapy and perimenopause and menopause specialty support are both available within individual sessions.
Relationships are complex systems, and the patterns that bring couples to therapy rarely live on the surface. This work goes beneath the argument to the attachment needs, communication habits, and unresolved histories that are actually driving the disconnection.
Whether you are in crisis or simply wanting more depth and connection, this is a space where both people can be genuinely heard and find their way back to each other.
A structured clinical protocol for people who need more than conventional therapy alone — particularly those with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, chronic pain, or entrenched patterns that haven't responded to other approaches.
Offered in a medically supervised, therapist-present model with full integration support. Not a clinic. A complete therapeutic program.

Specialty Focus
Finding your way back
through perimenopause and menopause.
An integrative approach grounded in original doctoral research — for women ready to feel like themselves again.
Perimenopause and menopause can make women feel profoundly out of sync with their bodies, their moods, their relationships, and their sense of self. This transition is too often treated as something to simply endure. Monica sees it differently. It is a threshold, and like every threshold in the body, it asks to be met with curiosity rather than resistance.
Grounded in original research: Monica's doctoral dissertation developed the first clinical protocol combining ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with hormone replacement therapy for perimenopausal women — research that continues to inform her clinical work today.
Areas of Focus
Support across every dimension of the transition.
A Privilege, Not a Decline
Wearing this chapter like a crown.
Monica believes the menopausal transition is a privilege and an initiation, not a decline. Women who are properly supported through it become some of the most clear, capable, and powerful versions of themselves. This is the work of becoming whole, met with science, soul, and a full tool bag of support.

Retreats & Group Offerings
Healing held
in community.
Beyond the individual session, deeper work sometimes calls for shared space, sacred container, and time set apart.
Some of the deepest healing happens not in a single session, but in sustained, held space, away from the rhythms of daily life. Monica periodically offers retreats and workshops that draw on the same integrative philosophy as her individual work: science and soul, body and depth psychology, evidence-based practice and sacred tradition.
Offerings are limited in size to preserve the intimacy and safety of the container. Specific dates, locations, and registration details are announced as they are scheduled.
