KAP

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Have you been dealing with chronic challenges like depression, anxiety or past traumatic events that continue to affect your every day life? If so, KAP may be your next best option for healing and transformation.

This therapy creates a unique space for deep reflection and insight, helping you break through barriers that once seemed impossible to overcome. As a KAP therapist, I am here to guide and support you through this journey, ensuring a safe and transformative experience that fosters lasting change.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Before diving into ketamine therapy, it's important to make sure it's safe for you. If you're experiencing hallucinations, acute mania, hyperthyroidsim, cardiovascular issues, high blood pressure, bladder issues, liver health concerns, or if you're currently struggling with addiction, these concerns need to be addressed first by our medical staff. By having a thorough health and wellness exam, we can decide if this treatment is right for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

Phone Consultation (15 minutes)

This initial call is designed to give us a thorough understanding of what you're going through and to assess whether KAP is the right approach. We'll explore your symptoms, discuss your mental health history, and answer any questions you might have about the process. This is a safe space for you to share your concerns and for us to begin building our relationship.

2 Pre-Sessions (Minimum)

Before beginning medicine sessions, you'll participate in at least two prep sessions. These meetings are essential for building a trusting relationship, clarifying your therapeutic goals, and setting intentions for your treatment. You'll discuss what you hope to achieve through KAP and how you can best prepare mentally and emotionally for the sessions. These pre-sessions lay the groundwork for a transformative experience.

KAP Sessions

The gold standard is 6 consecutive weekly KAP sessions, but the amount and frequency depends on your individual needs. Each KAP session lasts about 2 hours. During this time, a carefully controlled dose of ketamine is administered under close supervision. I will will be with you throughout the entire session, providing individualized support and guidance. I will help you navigate the experiences, facilitating a therapeutic process aimed at achieving deep insights and emotional breakthroughs.

What is the Medicine Session Like?

At the heart of the ketamine journey, many people experience a deep and expansive state where they feel connected to something much bigger than themselves. This can be a powerful and moving experience, but it's also important to be ready and supported through it. Here's how I can help:

1

Creating a Safe Space

We make sure the environment is calm, safe, and welcoming, so you feel secure and supported from the start.

2

Getting Ready Mentally and Emotionally

Before starting, we talk about what you hope to find on this journey and get you prepared mentally and emotionally. This helps guide your experience towards healing.

3

Being There With You

You're not alone on this journey. I will be with you the whole time, ready to help you through any tough spots you might encounter.

4

Learning and Growing From the Experience

After "coming back," we'll talk about what you experienced and how you can use those insights to make positive changes in your life.

Post-Healing /Integration

If sustained transformation is what you're seeking, then integration is not an option; it's a crucial part of the healing journey.

Using ketamine as a healing tool requires significant care and respect. In a culture always looking for quick fixes, there's a risk that without mindful use, treatments like KAP could end up being just another disappointment.

Integration ensures that this powerful treatment is paired with a commitment to intentional, lasting change in your daily life. It's about taking the insights and breakthroughs from KAP sessions and actively applying them to create lasting transformation.

Without integration, we risk missing the full potential of this profound therapeutic approach. It is the key to turning the awareness gained during ketamine sessions into meaningful change, bridging the gap between deep therapeutic experiences and everyday well-being.
