What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy? If you are seeking a new way to unlock healing and personal growth, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a groundbreaking treatment modality that combines the use of ketamine—a safe, clinically researched medication—with psychotherapy to facilitate profound psychological and emotional transformation.
Ketamine, traditionally used in medical settings, has been shown to have rapid-acting antidepressant and therapeutic effects. In the controlled and supportive environment of psychotherapy, ketamine can help clients access deeper insights, reduce emotional barriers, and experience relief from symptoms that traditional treatments may not have fully addressed.
How Does KAP Work? My practice collaborates with medical professionals at Journey Clinical to determine the appropriateness and dosing guidelines for your KAP session. KAP sessions involve carefully administered doses of ketamine, guided by a trained professional, alongside therapeutic techniques tailored to your needs. The experience often allows for heightened introspection, reduced mental "stuckness," and a more compassionate understanding of oneself. This combination can be particularly effective in addressing: - Depression and Treatment-Resistant Depression - Anxiety Disorders - PTSD and Trauma - Chronic Pain and Emotional Distress - Existential or Spiritual Concerns Each session is designed with safety, comfort, and personal growth in mind.
What to Expect 1. Initial Consultation: We begin with an in-depth consultation to explore whether KAP is right for you. We’ll review your medical and psychological history and discuss your goals for therapy. 2. Preparation Sessions: Before your first ketamine experience, we’ll meet to help you prepare emotionally and mentally. You’ll learn what to expect, set intentions for the session, and establish a sense of safety and trust. 3. KAP Sessions: During your ketamine sessions, you’ll be in a calm, comfortable setting. I will be there to support and guide your experience, ensuring that your journey remains safe and productive. 4. Integration Sessions: Following the ketamine experience, we’ll meet to process insights, emotions, and shifts that occurred. Integration ensures that the benefits of KAP extend into your daily life.
