Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Find relief. Reconnect with yourself. Create new possibilities.
If you’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, or unresolved trauma, and haven’t found the relief you need from traditional therapy or medication, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) may offer a new path forward.
KAP is a unique and evidence-informed approach that combines the therapeutic potential of ketamine with the grounding, insight-oriented support of psychotherapy. This treatment is especially helpful for individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected after years of managing mental health challenges.
Our team helps you access healing states of consciousness, foster deeper emotional insight, and reconnect with your inner resources while prioritizing safety with clinical support every step of the way.

How KAP Works
Ketamine acts as a catalyst for change. It softens psychological defenses, promotes neuroplasticity, and shifts stuck thought patterns, allowing for breakthroughs that might take years through traditional therapy alone. But context matters. Psychedelics are amplifiers – and safety, preparation, and integration are key.
KAP includes three core phases:
1. Preparation
Before your first medicine session, you’ll meet with your KAP therapist for three psychotherapy sessions to:
- Build rapport and trust
- Discuss your history and current challenges
- Set intentions and clarify goals
- Learn grounding techniques
- Explore expectations and have the opportunity to ask questions
2. Medicine Sessions
A minimum of three ketamine sessions is recommended, though treatment is tailored to your needs. Ketamine may be administered through:
- Lozenges (sublingual): In partnership with Journey Clinical, available in-office or at-home with a chaperone and therapist support
During each session, your therapist helps create a safe, intentional setting. We call this the “container” that supports emotional exploration and somatic awareness.
3. Integration
Within 24–48 hours after each medicine session, you’ll meet for an integration session. These are essential moments to process your experience, explore insights, and begin weaving them into daily life.
Why Choose KAP?
KAP may be right for you if you:
- Struggle with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, OCD, or PTSD
- Feel stuck despite years of therapy or trying multiple medications
- Seek clarity, emotional relief, or reconnection with your inner self
- Want to explore a therapeutic option that offers both rapid and sustained change
While ketamine’s antidepressant effects can be powerful on their own, combining it with psychotherapy offers a richer and more sustainable healing process.
Please be aware that at this time the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated Ketamine for the treatment of mental health disorders as an off-label treatment.
