How It Works
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
At our practice, we offer a compassionate and nuanced approach to Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which differs significantly from conventional ketamine treatments for depression. Unlike traditional methods that may rely solely on the physiological effects of ketamine, we blend this powerful therapeutic tool with psychotherapy to address the root causes of depression and facilitate enduring healing.
Our Process
1. Connect
The initial phase is about establishing trust and connection. We begin by building a therapeutic relationship that prioritizes your comfort and safety, setting the stage for a transformative journey
2. Prepare
Preparation involves collaborative discussions to set intentions, discuss the ketamine experience, and address any concerns. This phase ensures that you are psychologically and emotionally ready for the journey ahead.
3. Experience
During the experience, you'll enter a state facilitated by ketamine, which lasts approximately 60-120 minutes. This phase is deeply personal and can vary in length depending on your unique needs, with the active support of your therapist.
4. Integration
Integration is a crucial phase where you'll process the insights and emotions that surfaced during the experience. This may occur immediately following the session or during subsequent meetings, allowing you to weave these revelations into your daily life.
5. Deepen & Continue
This phase is about taking the growth and understanding you've gained and applying it to your life. You may continue regular psychotherapy sessions to deepen the integration and support your ongoing journey towards wellness.
