What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a medication that has long been used safely as an anesthetic and analgesic agent. It's known for its pain-relieving effects and ability to elicit non-ordinary states of consciousness. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy uses these effects to expand one’s sense of self and deepen one’s understanding of existence and support your mental well-being by encouraging positive changes in how your brain functions.
This approach can provide healthier coping mechanisms and improve your ability to bounce back from challenges.
What can I expect from KAP treatment?
KAP often leads to a reduction in negative or obsessive thoughts, alleviating negative self-talk and fostering a more positive outlook on challenging life situations and relationships. Clients may also experience an increase in self-esteem and self-compassion, along with enhanced creative problem-solving abilities.
Scientific research confirms the safety of psychedelic therapy, which temporarily shifts consciousness, enabling individuals to process thoughts, emotions, and perceptions in new ways. This heightened awareness can provide a novel outlook on both the world and one's self.

Is this treatment right for me?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) offers a promising avenue for individuals struggling with Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Treatment-Resistant PTSD (TR-PTSD). TRD is defined as a major depressive disorder that fails to respond adequately to at least two different treatments, while TR-PTSD refers to post-traumatic stress disorder that persists despite undergoing at least two evidence-based treatments.
KAP has gained attention for its rapid antidepressant effects and its ability to help engage more deeply in therapeutic work. It's particularly beneficial for those seeking innovative mental health solutions that go beyond traditional medications and therapies.
