Ketamine is mostly used as a rapid, but temporary medical antidepressant. In contrast, KAP uses ketamine's psychedelic properties to amplify somatic (mind-body) therapy targeting the underlying roots of most mental health disorders. Unlike shamanic retreats or integration coaching, which can't prevent "bad trips," vague results, destabilization, or spiritual bypassing (mystical experiences but no growth), KAP maximizes change at the best pace for you. The result is new insight, symptom relief, and foundational course correction. If it's the wrong time in life to unpack your issues, I can connect you to standard ketamine treatment.
To prepare your mind for positive ketamine experiences, I combine Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Jungian active imagination therapies. Integration therapy between ketamine treatments makes new connections, and supports vulnerability that may arise. Despite prep, KAP may still be too high risk for Borderline PD or early substance addiction recovery.
Most people assume KAP means therapist-guided ketamine experiences, but that typically isn't needed with this approach. Ketamine treatments are out-of-pocket, but preparation and integration therapy is insurance-billable. The amount of preparation needed before starting ketamine varies. Please see my website for more info. I'm grateful to do this deep work.

Preparation and integration therapy without insurance is $110 per session. A series of 8 ketamine treatments (IV infusion or injection), is recommended for the depth of the work. This is comparable to the cost, per infusion, of medical ketamine treatment...but these approaches are quite different.

KAP is a highly goal-directed approach, vs. a coping or exploratory one, that addresses the underlying causes of anxiety, depression, or other disorders. This will certainly include any past trauma or adversity. However, it's also an ideal approach for those who don't identify as having trauma history, and feel unclear about why they struggle with mental health problems.

I use IFS to give us a shared metaphorical map of the neural networks connecting your core beliefs, patterns, and symptoms. Guided imagery, EMDR, and/or somatic approaches are used to create symbolic or embodied encounters with these networks. This tells us what may cause a difficult, blocked, or bypassing psychedelic experience, and helps create a strategic intention for your ketamine series.
