Continuum: Monthly Ketamine Sessions

First Wednesday of Each Month, 5 PM | In-Person | Next Session: October 7, 2026

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.”

- Carl Jung

Healing, Renewal, and Compassion

The Continuum is Acheron Psychiatry’s monthly Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) group, designed to support emotional healing, self-reflection, insight, and connection within a professionally guided therapeutic setting.

Some participants join Continuum as an introduction to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, while others return periodically as part of their ongoing healing process. The group offers a flexible, supportive environment for individuals seeking deeper self-understanding, emotional growth, and connection.

Whether you are exploring KAP for the first time or looking for a way to build on work you have already begun, Continuum provides an accessible pathway for meaningful therapeutic exploration.

Designed For:

The Continuum may be a good fit for individuals who:

Have completed an individual KAP series and want ongoing support and integration in community

Are participating in non-KAP therapy and want to explore adding a KAP component to their healing process

Are curious about Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy but prefer a lower-commitment, professionally supported introduction

Want to explore group healing without committing to a weekly therapy group

Benefit from flexible support that can adapt to changing schedules and needs

A Trusted First Step Into Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

For many individuals, beginning Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy can feel both exciting and intimidating.

Unlike many conventional mental health treatments, KAP often involves acclimating not only to a new therapeutic process, but also to increased emotional openness, internal exploration, and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Continuum was specifically designed to make this process more approachable.

Many participants begin with Continuum because they are curious about KAP and want an opportunity to become familiar with the process before deciding whether additional treatment feels right for them. The group provides a safe, professionally guided setting to explore KAP, ask questions, and build confidence in the therapeutic process.

Participants often find that this approach helps them:

What This Experience Provides

The group is intentionally flexible:

Sound and Emotional Atmosphere

Carefully selected soundscapes and music help create an immersive environment for reflection and emotional exploration.

Breathwork and Nervous System Regulation

Guided breathwork supports grounding, emotional regulation, and connection to the body throughout the experience.

A Medicine-Facilitated Therapeutic Experience

Ketamine may support emotional openness, reflection, insight, and new perspectives within a safe therapeutic setting.

Healing in Community

Many participants find that engaging in this work alongside others fosters connection, reduces isolation, and creates a greater sense of shared understanding.

Preparation and Integration Support

Preparation and integration sessions help participants process insights and translate the experience into meaningful, lasting change.

Our goal is to create a therapeutic space that feels welcoming, emotionally safe, and professionally guided for both new and returning participants.

How Participation Works

Prescriber Evaluation + Preparation Sessions

A prescriber evaluation and one preparation intake session with the group facilitators are required prior to participation.

Additional preparation sessions are encouraged, particularly for individuals who are newer to KAP. A virtual group preparation is also offered prior to each medicine session; though optional, participation is strongly encouraged to maximize clinical benefit

Integration Support

Participants are strongly encouraged to attend a virtual integration session following their Continuum experience or engage in individual integration therapy.

Integration often plays a critical role in helping participants process insights, make meaning of their experience, and apply what emerges to everyday life.

Flexible Treatment Schedule Format

Participants may attend monthly or only when it feels supportive for their healing process. There is no long-term commitment required.

The group lasts approximately three hours. Following the session, our medical team completes a safety check-out process to ensure participants are in a grounded and safe place to head home.

For first-time ketamine participants, we strongly encourage arranging for someone to accompany you home. Driving is not permitted for a minimum of four hours following the medicine session.

Why Participants Continue to Return

Some individuals attend Continuum as an introduction to KAP and later pursue additional treatment. Others return periodically because they value having a dedicated space for reflection, support, and personal growth.

Participants often return for:

  • Continued emotional growth and self-understanding
  • Support during periods of anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, or life transition
  • Ongoing integration of insights from previous KAP experiences
  • Renewed creativity, meaning, and motivation
  • A deeper sense of connection to self and others
