Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) represents a groundbreaking advancement in mental health treatment, offering new hope for individuals who have struggled to find relief through traditional approaches. This innovative therapy combines the neurobiological benefits of ketamine with the power of psychotherapy, creating profound opportunities for healing and transformation.
What Is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?
KAP is a carefully supervised therapeutic approach that uses ketamine—administered in a safe, clinical setting under medical supervision—to enhance your brain's ability to form new, healthier neural pathways. This process, known as neuroplasticity, allows you to break free from entrenched patterns of rumination, fear, and emotional disconnection while creating lasting positive changes in your mental health.
During KAP sessions, ketamine temporarily softens your brain's defense mechanisms, enabling you to access deeper insights, process difficult emotions, and explore therapeutic breakthroughs that might be challenging to reach through traditional talk therapy alone.
Conditions We Successfully Treat with KAP
Treatment-Resistant Depression
Experience relief from persistent hopelessness and disconnection, often seeing improvement when other treatments have failed.
Anxiety Disorders
Quiet the internal narrative that fuels chronic worry, accessing genuine calm and developing emotional flexibility to handle life's stressors.
PTSD & Trauma
Process painful experiences with greater emotional safety and distance, reducing hypervigilance and resolving stuck emotional responses that have held you back.
Existential & Spiritual Distress
Find renewed meaning and purpose during life transitions, grief, or periods of spiritual questioning through expanded awareness and deeper self-connection.
Chronic Stress
Break free from overwhelming stress patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms for long-term resilience.
Our Comprehensive Three-Phase Approach
Phase 1
Preparation Sessions
Begin your journey with thorough preparation, including a psychiatric assessment with Journey Clinical and goal-setting sessions with your therapist. We build the trust, safety, and intention needed for meaningful therapeutic work.
Phase 2
Medicine Sessions
Experience ketamine in a comfortable, supportive environment with your therapist present. Self-administer your prescribed ketamine lozenge and engage in inward-focused exploration guided by calming music and your own inner wisdom.
