Healing with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Discover a New Path to Emotional Well-being
​
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an alternative treatment that augments talk therapy to uncover your inner intelligence and inherent resilience to process difficult life experiences. It is a powerful tool for clients who feel stuck in painful, persistent, or unhealthy patterns of thinking and behaviors, and reminds oneself that we are not broken.
The medicine increases our propensity to make meaningful change in thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional health by enhancing the brain’s neuroplasticity and stimulating regrowth of synapses.
What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a short-acting dissociative anesthetic medication that is safe and legal. In tandem with psychotherapy, ketamine can provide rapid relief and sustained effects in the treatment of mental health.
How does it work?
Ketamine disconnects the client from painful feelings in order to safely process difficult memories. Ketamine works to increase neuroplasticity, stimulate the regrowth of synapses, and soften the rigidity of the brain to remove barriers to healing.
What should I expect?
We believe that the healing power of ketamine is most beneficial in a comfortable setting with the support of a mental health professional. Clients self-administer sublingual ketamine that dissolves in the mouth, creating a slow ramp up and ramp down, gently inducing an altered state of consciousness for under for about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.
Who is a good candidate?
If you feel that talk therapy alone is not helping you progress toward your therapeutic goals or if you feel stuck and seek to accelerate the process, KAP could be a treatment for you.
History of Ketamine
Ketamine was developed in 1962 and approved by the FDA in 1970, used extensively to anesthetize officers for surgical procedures during the Vietnam war. It continues to be used as anesthesia for surgery, pain treatment, and also in veterinary clinics.
