Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

Sometimes you know what needs to change, but despite your best efforts in therapy, you feel stuck in the same patterns. Your mind knows better, but your emotions, body, and behaviors haven't caught up. This is where Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) can create the breakthrough you've been seeking.

What Makes KAP Different

Ketamine temporarily quiets the default patterns of your brain—those well-worn neural pathways that keep you cycling through familiar thoughts, emotions, and reactions. In this altered state, your mind becomes more flexible, allowing you to see yourself and your experiences from entirely new perspectives.

The Science Behind the Breakthrough

Ketamine works differently than traditional antidepressants. Instead of simply managing symptoms, it promotes neuroplasticity—your brain's ability to form new connections. This creates windows of opportunity where lasting change becomes possible, not just intellectually understood.

Who Can Benefit

KAP can be particularly powerful for:

• Treatment-resistant depression and anxiety
• Complex trauma and PTSD
• Chronic pain with emotional components
• Addiction and compulsive behaviors
• Existential distress and life transitions
• Anyone feeling stuck despite traditional therapy progress

The KAP Experience

Working in partnership with a psychiatrist, ketamine is administered intramuscularly in a safe, controlled environment. I remain with you throughout the entire 1.5-2 hour session, providing support and guidance as you explore your inner landscape. You're never alone in the experience.

Integration: Where the Real Work Happens

The insights and experiences from your ketamine session are carefully integrated into your ongoing therapy. We explore what emerged, process new understandings, and develop practical ways to apply these insights to your daily life. The medicine opens the door, but integration helps you walk through it.

Combining with Other Approaches

KAP works beautifully alongside IFS, DBT, and trauma therapies. Clients often find they can access parts of themselves that were previously unreachable, process trauma with less reactivity, and experience emotions without being overwhelmed by them.

Safety and Support

Every aspect of KAP is conducted with full medical oversight and continuous therapeutic support. Your safety, comfort, and therapeutic goals remain the priority throughout the entire process.

The Possibility

KAP isn't about escaping reality—it's about seeing reality more clearly, including parts of yourself that have been hidden or protected. Many clients describe it as remembering who they really are beneath the layers of protection, trauma, and conditioning.
