Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a unique therapeutic approach that combines the use of ketamine, a rapid-acting medication with antidepressant properties, with psychotherapy to facilitate deeper emotional processing and insight. 

​

Many people turn to KAP when struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, or attachment-related challenges that have not responded fully to traditional therapies. By temporarily shifting your usual thought patterns and reducing mental defenses, ketamine can open the door to greater self-compassion, emotional breakthroughs, and a renewed sense of connection with yourself and others. You may experience a softening of your inner critic, expanded insight, release of emotional material, or a shift in how you relate to long-held narratives about yourself. Some people describe a dreamlike, transpersonal, or even mystical quality to the experience — while others simply feel more grounded, open, and able to move forward in their lives.

What to Expect

A typical KAP process includes:

​

  • Preparation: We meet beforehand to set intentions, answer questions, and create a sense of safety and grounding. This typically occurs starting with 3-6 50-min appointments.
     

  • Medicine Session: You take a ketamine lozenge in a calm, supportive space. The experience often includes vivid imagery, emotional depth, and a spacious or altered state of consciousness. I am present to support and guide you throughout. This is a 3-hour appointment.
     

  • Integration: In follow-up sessions, we process what came up, connecting insights to your life and nervous system. This is where lasting change takes root. This is a follow-up 50-min appointment after each journey. 

​

Our relationship, the depth of preparation, and the care we take with integration are just as important as the medicine itself. This is not about escaping your experience — it’s about meeting it with more openness, clarity, and support.
