Ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP)
If you're exploring alternative ways to manage conditions such as depression, PTSD symptoms, and OCD or if you seek a new approach to self-discovery and healing, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy could be a suitable option for you.
Benefits of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Rapid Relief: Often provides quicker relief from depression symptoms compared to traditional treatments.
Enhanced Openness: Increases openness to new experiences and perspectives.
Psycho-Spiritual Exploration: Facilitates deeper exploration of one's inner self and spiritual dimensions.
Reduced Psychological Defenses: Helps in reducing entrenched psychological patterns, making therapeutic interventions more effective.
What to Expect During a Session
A KAP session lasts approximately 2-3 hours. During the session, you will lie on a couch or a floor pad and wear a comfortable eye mask while listening to a customized music list. You may bring a blanket or any other comfort items. I will sit with you for the entire session to ensure safety and provide support.
You will begin to feel the initial effects of ketamine within 15-20 minutes. The full effects usually last between 45 and 60 minutes. The effects gradually diminish over the next 1-2 hours.
After the session, while the predominant effects of ketamine will have subsided, you must arrange for a ride home to ensure your safety. I will meet your support person and answer any questions they may have.
Service Structure: KAP is a separate service and not part of EMDR Therapy Intensives. My Time Therapy does not accept insurance for KAP sessions. KAP is $150.00 per hour.
Session Details:
A minimum of 2-3 preparatory sessions are necessary before starting KAP to build trust and develop treatment goals.
Ketamine sessions are typically between 3 to 6 sessions.
Integration sessions are required in between Ketamine sessions to ensure proper processing and support.
Medical Assessment:
You will be referred to a medical prescriber for an interview to determine if you are a suitable candidate for Ketamine.
If approved, you will receive a prescription for Ketamine, which you need to bring to your appointments.
Please note that your insurance may cover the cost of the prescription.
