Who Is KAP For?
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (or KAP) is a holistic, psychedelic modality that combines medically prescribed ketamine treatment with the support of integrative therapy.
Many people consider KAP when other treatments have not resulted in the relief that they hope for. You may be a good fit for KAP if you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, trauma, chronic pain, illness, eating disorders, or substance use despite previous treatment. During a KAP session, you may be able to process more freely, explore yourself and patterns more deeply, gain a new perspective on your situation, and experience a stronger connection to yourself, others, world, or your life purpose. Following a psychedelic journey, people often describe it as one of the most meaningful experiences in their lifetime.
You may be a good candidate for KAP if:
- You are 18-65 years old
- Currently attending psychotherapy
- Interested in deep personal introspection
- Psychologically motivated
- Ready to make changes
- Physically healthy
- Medically stable
Some common contraindications include:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Uncontrolled glaucoma (eye pressure)
- Severe cardiac, liver, or kidney problems
- Severe breathing problems
- Acute mania or mixed state
- History of primary psychotic disorder
