How KAP Works

Sometimes, healing requires us to step beyond traditional talk therapy and explore new ways of accessing the mind, body, and emotions. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an evidence-based approach that uses ketamine in a therapeutic setting to help loosen entrenched patterns, access deeper layers of the psyche, and facilitate profound emotional processing.

Ketamine supports brain healing through increasing the activity of specific neurotransmitters. This increased activity may improve mood and lessen anxiety. Furthermore, ketamine can promote neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change and adapt—and help decrease inflammation in both the brain and body. These processes together may facilitate meaningful change and healing.

Ketamine is a legal, fast-acting medication that has been shown to support mental health by promoting neuroplasticity, shifting perspectives, and allowing individuals to engage with emotions and experiences from a place of openness. When combined with psychotherapy, it can help create breakthroughs in healing, especially for those struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, or a sense of feeling "stuck."

I offer integration-focused ketamine-assisted therapy, meaning the experience isn’t just about the medicine—it’s about how we work together to process and integrate what arises during your sessions.

Who Can Benefit?

KAP may be supportive if you are:

• Experiencing treatment-resistant depression or feeling emotionally “stuck.”

• Working through grief, trauma, or deep emotional wounds.

• Feeling disconnected and seeking greater self-understanding or meaning.

• Looking for a new perspective on persistent challenges.

• Interested in psychedelic-assisted therapy in a safe and guided setting.

How Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Is Different from Ketamine Clinics

Many people seek ketamine treatment for depression, anxiety, and trauma, but not all ketamine experiences are the same.

Unlike ketamine clinics, which focus on administering the medication with minimal support, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) offers a deeper, more intentional healing process.

• Therapeutic Guidance – In KAP, ketamine isn’t just given as a treatment—it’s part of a supported therapy process with a trained professional by your side.

• Preparation & Integration – Before your session, we set intentions. Afterward, we process your experience to ensure lasting insights and transformation (not just a temporary mood boost).

• A Holistic Approach – Beyond the medicine, we incorporate mindfulness, somatic work, and other healing tools to help you reconnect with yourself.

If you want more than just a ketamine session—if you’re looking for real, lasting healing—KAP offers the depth and support you need.

What to Expect: The 9-Week KAP Process

KAP is not a single-session treatment but a structured 9-week journey designed to maximize healing and integration.

1. Preparation (Week 1) – We establish your intentions, discuss expectations, and prepare mentally and emotionally for the ketamine experience.

2. Medicine Sessions (Weeks 2-9) – You will engage in several guided ketamine sessions, supported in a safe therapeutic setting. Each session is followed by processing and reflection.

3. Integration (Optional) – We focus on deep integration, helping you translate your experiences into lasting change and insights for daily life.

Administration

Ketamine is provided as sublingual lozenges. I collaborate with the person prescribing your medicine to tailor the dose to suit your individual needs.

Potential Side Effects

Side effects are typically short-lived and occur only in the period immediately following a session. Commonly reported effects include mild nausea, dizziness, feelings of derealization, and drowsiness—all of which usually resolve quickly.

A Thoughtful & Personalized Approach

Ketamine is not a "quick fix," but rather a catalyst for healing when approached with care and integration. This process is deeply personal, and I am here to support and guide you through it at a pace that feels right for you.
