Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy that uses ketamine as a tool, not a cure

Discover

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is a structured, therapist-supported process for working with non-ordinary states of consciousness. The aim isn’t escape — it’s reorientation: stepping outside of automatic thought patterns and habitual ways of relating, so new perspectives and possibilities can emerge.

The work uses altered states to help loosen rigid patterns, disrupt unhelpful narratives, and access aspects of the self that are often difficult to reach in ordinary consciousness. But the experience itself isn’t the point. What matters is how it’s understood, worked with, and carried into daily life.

Ketamine supports the process. It doesn’t replace the work.

(Note: Currently, ketamine is the only psychedelic medicine available for use in an outpatient clinical setting. We expect to work with additional substances as they become approved for medical use.)

What to Expect
KAP is a structured, four-phase process designed for safety and integration. The emphasis is on psychotherapy throughout — ketamine supports the work, but does not replace it.

01.

Assessment

01. Assessment

A clinical evaluation to determine whether KAP is appropriate for you — including medical history, psychological readiness, current medications, and what you're hoping to work on. Not everyone is a fit, and we're clear about that upfront.

02.

Preparation

02. Preparation

Sessions with your therapist to build context, set intentions, and develop the working relationship that will carry the rest of the process. This phase shapes everything that follows.

03.

Medicine Sessions

03. Medicine Sessions

Facilitated sessions using ketamine to support deeper therapeutic work, in a clinical setting with both therapeutic and medical support. The number and pacing depend on what the work calls for.

04.

Integration

04. Integration

The phase that translates experience into change. Sessions focused on making sense of what came up, working it through, and translating insight into how you actually live.

What It’s Not

This isn’t a standardized protocol, a prepackaged process, or whatever’s trending.You won’t get basic underloaded band exercises, a passive quick fix, or have to commit to coming in for a lifetime. It’s not insurance-driven care that depends on a physician’s script and a 15-minute clock. And it’s not narrowly focused on a single symptom while ignoring the rest of you.

Investment

KAP is a time-intensive, multi-step process. Services may include a mix of insurance and cash-pay components depending on the structure and the provider. Some elements — including the medicine itself and certain assessment components — may be out-of-pocket. HSA/FSA accepted. We’ll walk through the full structure and costs before you commit, so you can make an informed decision about whether this is the right work for you right now.
