Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) involves a commitment to multiple sessions. Individuals interested in KAP are first carefully screened by one of our KAP therapists to determine if ketamine may be a good fit. Next, if our prescribing provider agrees that you are a good candidate for KAP, at least one preparation session is scheduled with your therapist to gain a better understanding of what to expect during a ketamine session including your comfort and safety, set goals/intentions, and to allow us to develop a therapeutic alliance. Then an initial ketamine session occurs, which takes approximately three hours. For your safety, your therapist is in the room with you the entire time. Although some clients interact with the therapist while experiencing the effects of ketamine, many remain quiet with an internal focus.
