Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
BEST TREATMENT
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a transformative treatment approach that integrates the therapeutic potential of ketamine, a fast-acting anesthetic and dissociative drug, with psychotherapy to address various mental health conditions. This innovative method has shown promising results in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders.
We are excited to partner with Voyage Healing, a ketamine and wellness clinic, who provides expertise and medical supervision to support safe ketamine assisted psychotherapy
We offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as a compliment to traditional therapy. KAP is delivered in our practice in partnership with Journey Clinical, which has a specialized medical team that determines eligibility for KAP, prescribes the ketamine, & supports us in monitoring outcomes.
