What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
KAP is a therapeutic approach that combines the use of ketamine, a legal, FDA-approved medication, with psychotherapy to help treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. The ketamine experience can help patients access deeper emotional insight, reduce mental blocks, and enhance the therapeutic process.
How It Works
Ketamine alters brain activity in a way that temporarily relaxes rigid thought patterns, which can make it easier for patients to process trauma or negative emotions during therapy. It can induce a non-ordinary state of consciousness, allowing for greater openness, introspection, and emotional healing when paired with skilled therapeutic support.
What conditions can KAP help with?
-
Treatment-resistant depression
-
Anxiety disorders
-
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
-
OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)
-
Chronic pain (in some cases)
-
Existential or spiritual distress
What does a typical KAP session look like?
Preparation Session
You will meet with our experienced treatment team: Our Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Wiggins, or Nurse Practitioner, Staci Johnson. An initial assessment includes a comprehensive medical history review to assess safety and suitability. A customized treatment plan, including dosing and integration sessions will be determined, as well as setting your intentions for your journey.
During the Session
In our peaceful and comfortable setting, the Ketamine will be administered via IM injection or orally as your provider supports you throughout.
Post Integreation Session
After the effects wear off, you discuss your experience and insights with your provider to integrate what came up into daily life.
The post-session integration is a vital part of our approach. We offer support for lasting positive change.
Is Ketamine Safe?
Yes, when used under medical supervision and with proper screening, ketamine is considered safe. It has a long history of use in anesthesia and pain management and is increasingly used in mental health for its fast-acting antidepressant effects. Side effects are typically mild and short-lived.
