Ketamine Therapy

Research shows that KAP is an effective treatment option for a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and obsessive thought patterns. KAP is unique among treatment options for these conditions in that its effective use can be both fast-acting and time-limited.

• Ketamine Assisted-Psychotherapy (KAP) may be the best option for patients who haven’t responded well to conventional psychiatric medication, including treatment-resistant depression (TRD) patients and those experiencing suicidal ideation. KAP is also used to treat anxiety conditions, including PTSD, OCD, and social anxiety; addictive illnesses; and chronic pain and psychosomatic symptoms (mental health conditions that affect or manifest in the body).

• KAP also may be a particularly good treatment option for patients who had previous psychotherapy that did not go deep enough to work through, transform and resolve the experience of core, anxiety-provoking topics so that their best, authentic self could emerge and creatively engage with life. 

• It may also be suitable for patients new to psychotherapy and feeling overwhelmed at the process of confronting deep and core issues, who would like the assistance of a medicine to make therapy more tolerable, as well as optimally productive for deeper and expanded conscious awareness and creative insight.

KAP is not appropriate for individuals with acute mania or psychosis, or with a recreational interest in ketamine. It is not for those with uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, increased intracranial pressure, cystitis, evidence of liver disease, or for those who are pregnant.

It is also not recommended for those who only want medication management and are not interested in psychotherapy. One exception is severely depressed patients who initially may lack the ability to engage in therapy, yet may respond to ketamine.

We typically recommend 3-6 ketamine sessions over the course of several weeks or months. Low dose ketamine sessions typically last 45 minutes, whereas higher dose psychedelic sessions usually require a two hour time commitment.

We offer several pricing and packaging options, including cost-accessible options, given our belief that psychedelic medicine combined with skilled psychotherapy represents a real advance in mental health care and must be accessible to suffering, and curious, soul-searching humans.
