In partnership with Journey Clinical, I’m pleased to offer collaborative, personalized Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to new and established clients. KAP is a unique therapeutic method used to address a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, addiction, and some forms of anxiety. It involves the use of ketamine to enhance and deepen the therapeutic process, and the use of psychotherapy and other integrative forms of treatment to amplify and prolong the curative effects of ketamine. Preparation sessions are required before dosing. I will refer you to an in-house provider who will prescribe the ketamine.

​

The ketamine dosing session itself can typically last up to 3 hours and occurs every 2-6 weeks. While there are many possible routes of administration, we primarily work with sublingual lozenges. It’s important to keep in mind that ketamine can sometimes encourage a positive shift in mood, while other times bring subconscious material to the surface to be processed. After your first KAP session, you will have at least 2 integration sessions in which we will help you integrate your experience during the ketamine session, discuss how you responded to the medicine, and determine an individualized course of treatment moving forward.
