Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

What is KAP?

KAP is a unique and revolutionary therapeutic method, used to address a variety of mental health conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Treatment resistant depression

  • PTSD

  • Addiction disorders

  • Eating disorders

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder

  • Generalized anxiety disorder

  • Suicidal ideation

KAP harnesses the power of psychotherapy in addition to the intensive opportunity provided by ketamine-induced expanded states of consciousness, as well as the well known biological antidepressant effect of ketamine itself.

 

What to expect?

  • Intake: We have a detailed medical and psychological intake process to allow us to provide the best possible care for our clients.

  • Preparation sessions: Provides an overview of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and prepares the client for the journey ahead. Includes establishing informed consent, clarifying intentions, sharing motivations and fears, and discussing what to expect and best practices for engaging in a psychedelic journey.

  • Treatment: A three hour session including a supported ketamine journey followed by integration.

  • Post-Treatment Integration: 2-3 days after treatment, optional for patients already working with therapists, required for patients who are not in ongoing therapy.

Safe and healing set and setting

Our office space is intentionally created and curated to provide our patients with a safe, comforting and healing set and setting to facilitate journeys into non-ordinary states of consciousness. Patients are encouraged to bring keepsakes that are meaningful and important to them during their treatment.

 

Music therapy and journaling

We offer unique and customizable music playlists to choose from during our treatment sessions. Music is well known to influence the quality and content of experience, and we optimize the therapeutic power of music for all patients, while retaining patient agency over the choice of music.

Patients will be provided with a journal and prompts for preparation and integration practices to serve as a roadmap to one’s path to healing and to document psychological and emotional progress.
