  • What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?

    Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (also known as KAP), is a type therapy that incorporates controlled use of psychedelic substances along with psychotherapy to treat a variety of mental health concerns. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy addresses the root causes of mental and/or emotional distress for positive, safe, and longer lasting outcomes.

  • Is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy legal?

    Psychedelic-assisted therapy is still under research and not yet widely legalized. However, some psychedelics like ketamine are FDA-approved for other uses and can be used "off-label" in therapy settings with a qualified provider. Research with psilocybin and MDMA is ongoing.

  • Is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Safe?

    Safety is a top priority. Therapy sessions are conducted in a controlled environment with medical and psychological support on hand. There can be risks, but a thorough screening process helps identify potential complications.

  • How Does Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Work?

    Initial consultation with prescriber

    You schedule an initial evaluation with the medical team via zoom. They will go over your medical and psychiatric history with you, provide education on the treatment and determine if you are eligible for KAP. If it is determined that you are eligible, they will develop a personalized Ketamine prescription and outcome monitoring plan for you. 


    Preparation Sessions:

    Once you receive your ketamine lozenges, we will schedule time together for preparation, dosing and integration sessions. Preparation session(s) will be scheduled just like regular therapy sessions prior to the KAP dosing session. The goal of a preparation session(s) is to align on the process and set intentions for our KAP sessions together.


    KAP Dosing Session:

    A typical ketamine dosing session lasts between 1-2 hours and will take place in-person. During a dosing session, you will self-administer your ketamine lozenge.  You will be in a comfortable, reclined position wearing an eye mask and listening to calming music.  Although a KAP dosing session may be largely an internal experience, I will be present with you the entire time to hold space and provide support as needed.


    Integration Sessions:

    After our KAP dosing session, we will meet for multiple integration therapy sessions to review the memories, thoughts & insights that arose during your dosing session, and to prepare for the next dosing sessions.


    Follow-up consultations with Journey Clinical:

    After our first KAP session, regular follow ups will be scheduled with the prescriber to monitor outcomes and prescribe ketamine lozenge refills, as appropriate.  The frequency of follow ups depends on your unique treatment plan, at a minimum of once per quarter.

  • Is this a quick fix?

    Psychedelic-assisted therapy is not a magic bullet. It can, however, be a powerful tool for healing, growth, and expansion.
