What is Ketamine Assisted Therapy?

---

I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), an innovative, evidence-informed approach that combines the safe, medical use of ketamine with psychotherapy to support deep emotional healing and lasting change. Ketamine works differently than traditional antidepressants by temporarily quieting rigid thought patterns and reducing the brain’s default defenses. This allows you to access emotions, memories, and internal experiences with greater openness, flexibility, and self-compassion.

Many people come to KAP feeling stuck—trapped in cycles of depression, anxiety, trauma responses, or burnout despite years of therapy or medication. Ketamine can create a unique therapeutic window where the nervous system softens, emotional intensity becomes more tolerable, and new perspectives emerge. In this state, you may be able to engage with therapy in ways that previously felt impossible, overwhelming, or inaccessible.

KAP is not about numbing or escaping. When thoughtfully paired with psychotherapy, it supports insight, emotional processing, and integration. Many clients report increased clarity, reduced fear, a sense of internal spaciousness, and renewed connection to themselves and others. Over time, these experiences can translate into meaningful shifts in mood, self-concept, and behavior.

I’ve found KAP to be especially helpful for individuals struggling with:

• Treatment-resistant depression
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Trauma and PTSD
• Existential distress and burnout
• Emotional numbness or disconnection
   

Each session is carefully structured to include preparation, the ketamine experience itself, and integration therapy afterward—where insights are grounded into daily life. 

The therapy component is essential: ketamine opens the door, and I help you walk through it and make sense of what you find.

Private pay is available.
