Sacred Healing: KAP Webinar
This webinar offers an in-depth exploration of how KAP supports emotional processing, neuroplasticity, and trauma resolution. Grounded in neuroscience, trauma-informed therapy, and lived experience, this session invites clinicians, seekers, and healing professionals to reimagine healing not as symptom relief - but as deep transformation through safe, intentional, and supported ketamine work.

Meet the Medicine
What is KAP—and could it be right for you?
In this video, psychiatrist Daniel Zimmerman, M.D., and psychotherapist Alessandra Licul, LMHC, introduce Acheron Psychiatry’s Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) program, a legal, evidence-based treatment designed to help those struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more.
Whether traditional therapy hasn’t worked well for you, medications have fallen short, or you're simply feeling stuck—KAP offers a new way forward. Ketamine supports perspective shifts, deeper therapeutic access, and emotional reset by quieting the brain’s default mode network and promoting neuroplasticity. The result? More impactful sessions, increased self-awareness, and renewed connection to yourself and others.
The KAP Experience
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and how does it work?
In this video, therapist Alessandra Licul, LMHC, walks you through the three key phases of KAP at Acheron Psychiatry: preparation, the ketamine experience, and integration. You’ll learn how we tailor treatment to the individual, creating a safe and intentional space grounded in trust, collaboration, and care.
From setting the stage with preparation sessions to understanding how ketamine affects the brain—including its impact on the default mode network and neuroplasticity—Alessandra explains how this powerful treatment can offer new perspectives, emotional relief, and meaningful transformation.
The Neuroscience of KAP
What actually happens in the brain during Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
In this video, psychiatrist and Acheron founder Daniel Zimmerman, M.D., breaks down the neuroscience behind KAP—explaining how ketamine quiets the default mode network, reduces ego-driven thinking, and promotes neuroplasticity. This temporary ego-dissolution allows for a “blooming” of mental states, fresh perspectives, and enhanced emotional learning.
As the brain forms new, more integrated connections, KAP opens the door for insight, healing, and meaningful change. But the medicine is only part of the process—ongoing integration with your therapist is what helps those changes take root.
