Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP)

“When life breaks you, it is because you are ready to be put back together differently. Every piece of you that feels shattered is a piece that will find a new place, a new purpose, a new meaning. Trust that the cracks are where the light gets in. And sometimes, in our brokenness, we find our greatest wholeness. We find the courage to rebuild, to reimagine, to redefine what it means to be strong. You are not broken; you are breaking through.”

Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP) integrates the unique power of psychedelic substances with psychotherapy, enhancing your openness to deep emotional work and fostering meaningful breakthroughs. This approach offers longer-lasting clinical improvements by facilitating insights and healing processes that can be difficult to access through traditional talk therapy alone.

Through guided and intentional experiences, PAP allows individuals to explore repressed emotions and experiences, helping them uncover new ways of thinking and being. This collaborative, therapist-guided approach nurtures profound healing, transforming the mental and emotional landscape.

Science-Based Approach

PAP is not just experiential—it is grounded in research. Studies show that psychedelic-assisted therapies, especially for conditions like depression, PTSD, and anxiety, offer relief beyond what conventional therapy and medications can achieve. By working within these altered states, patients often experience heightened emotional clarity and long-term improvements in well-being.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a specialized branch of PAP, blending the biological effects of ketamine with integrative psychotherapy. Conducted in a safe, supportive setting, KAP sessions help dissolve the mental patterns that keep us stuck. Under the guidance of a licensed mental health professional, ketamine allows you to reset maladaptive behaviors and perceptions, opening new avenues for personal growth.

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic and psychedelic medicine, widely recognized for its ability to alleviate mental health conditions such as major depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Unlike traditional antidepressants, the effects of ketamine can begin within 1–2 hours of treatment and last for up to two weeks. Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors and activating AMPA receptors, promoting the formation of new neural pathways and enhancing overall neuroplasticity. This neuroadaptive process helps the brain regulate stress and mood more effectively, fostering long-term healing.

KAP Science & Safety

KAP combines the biological benefits of ketamine with the transformative potential of psychotherapy. Our collaborative care model brings together psychiatrists, therapists, and patients in a unified effort to address mental health challenges at their core. This comprehensive approach includes initial evaluations, ongoing assessments, and personalized follow-ups to ensure deep and sustainable healing.

Research shows that the combination of psychedelic medicine and psychotherapy amplifies clinical outcomes, creating space for profound personal insights and growth that traditional approaches may struggle to achieve.

What to Expect from a KAP Session

Comprehensive Care Sessions are conducted in a therapeutic setting with both a therapist and a physician, offering focused, supportive care. Each session lasts about three hours, creating the time and space needed for deep personal work.	How Does It Feel? The experience of ketamine creates a sense of gentle dissociation—a shift in consciousness that many describe as feeling detached from their body. This altered state allows you to step outside habitual thought patterns, opening doors to new perspectives on trauma and life challenges.
Comfort & Safety Throughout the session, you remain comfortably reclined, as motor skills and verbal abilities may be reduced. You are fully supported by your care team, ensuring safety and emotional comfort.	Follow-Up Support Healing doesn’t end when the session is over. We offer integrative therapy, follow-ups, and continued support to help you process your experiences and maintain lasting improvements in mental health.

Why Choose KAP?

The rapid onset of ketamine offers fast relief for depression, anxiety, and PTSD—often when other treatments have not worked. Many clients experience a profound shift in symptoms within hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ketamine?
+

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic, developed in 1962, known for its use in medical procedures and as a veterinary medicine. It induces dissociation, where individuals feel disconnected from their body and surroundings, rather than full unconsciousness.

How can Ketamine help?
+

Ketamine can provide rapid relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. By lowering mental defenses, it helps individuals process trauma and other painful experiences, allowing the nervous system to reset and reduce the “fight-or-flight” response.

What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
+

KAP involves taking ketamine under the guidance of a therapist to facilitate deeper emotional exploration during psychotherapy. Sessions are followed by integration meetings 24-48 hours later to help clients make sense of their experiences and reinforce new neural pathways.

Can Ketamine help with migraines or chronic pain?
+

Though I am not a medical doctor, ketamine has shown promise in treating migraines and chronic pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Consultation with a medical provider is essential to determine whether ketamine is a suitable option for your specific condition.

Is Ketamine FDA-approved for depression?
+

Spravato, an esketamine nasal spray, is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression. Other forms of ketamine (IV, IM, sublingual, or oral) are considered “off-label” treatments and are not currently covered by insurance.

What are the risks or long-term effects of Ketamine?
+

Short-term effects of ketamine may include increased blood pressure, nausea, dissociation, and perceptual disturbances, which typically resolve after the session. Ketamine has a short half-life, meaning its effects wear off in 1-2 hours, though it’s important not to drive for 6-12 hours afterward.

What should I look for in a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy provider?
+

Seek a licensed therapist with specific training in KAP who can provide a safe and supportive environment. Trust and emotional safety are key, so it’s important to work with a therapist who makes you feel seen and heard.
