Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

How Psychedelic Treatment can Help You

I offer a breakthrough therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with Journey Clinical.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical’s medical team supports you on the medical aspects including eligibility and prescribing the medication. You will receive a treatment plan customized specifically for your needs and close monitoring of your treatment outcome. Below is more information about KAP to help you explore if this breakthrough treatment may be a good fit for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly-acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hours after treatment and last for up to 2 weeks. It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement.

    While Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, via nasal spray and using sublingual lozenges; in my work with Journey Clinical we only use the sublingual lozenge form for Ketamine.

  • Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is an affordable, accessible modality. Although the medical intake and follow ups are not covered by insurance, they are eligible for out-of-network reimbursement and worth the investment.
