HOW KAP THERAPY WORKS
What To Expect With Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in NYC
Each therapeutic experience is different and tailored to the individual. One of the most important things about the therapy process is building trust and a safe container for us to work together in. We’ll move at a pace that works for you and your nervous system.
We require all clients to meet for one intake session and at least two preparation sessions prior to using Ketamine, and commit to an integration session following the Ketamine session.
Learn how to prepare for ketamine therapy with our free, customizable guide.
Preparation
All KAP sessions begin with preparation. This includes a free, 15-minute consult call, a 50-minute intake, and 1-2 therapeutic preparation sessions. We match the medicine to the person, moving at the pace that works best for you.
Meet the Medicine
You'll connect with our prescriber and access a Ketamine dose that works therapeutically for you. You'll meet with the prescriber for a medical intake and are responsible for arranging this outside of our time together.
Ketamine sessions typically last 3 hours, during which time we'll work together to create a safe container to slowly move towards the medicine.
Integration
After your Ketamine session, we recommend meeting again within 24-48 hours for an integration session.

You May Still Have Questions About KAP…
-
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines the use of Ketamine with therapy to enhance the therapeutic process and create lasting healing. Ketamine can induce a unique state of consciousness that may help access and process emotions and memories more effectively than traditional talk therapy on its own.
-
KAP has shown exceptional results in alleviating symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions. It can provide rapid relief and a deeper therapeutic experience compared to traditional talk therapy alone.
-
Each session begins with grounding and a check-in, followed by the administration of a sublingual dose of Ketamine. You'll then be guided through the experience by a trained therapist who will encourage exploration of thoughts, emotions, and insights that arise during the session.
-
Ketamine is safe and effective when administered by trained professionals in a controlled environment. Side effects sometimes include mild dissociation, changes in perception, or nausea, which typically subside 1-2 hours after the session ends.
-
The number of sessions can vary depending on your individual needs and treatment goals. Typically, 3-6 sessions spread over 3-6 weeks is recommended to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.
-
The effects of ketamine can vary, but many clients report sustained relief from symptoms after completing 3-6 sessions. The therapeutic benefits often continue to unfold and integrate in the days and weeks following each session.
-
Insurance coverage for KAP varies and is often dependent on individual insurance plans and specific circumstances. It's advisable to check with your insurance provider to determine coverage options. We provide all clients with a Superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
-
KAP may be the right solution if you've struggled with treatment-resistant mental health conditions or if you're seeking a deeper therapeutic experience. We offer free 15-minute consultations to all potential clients to discuss KAP is right for you.
-
Prior to your session, we'll discuss any specific preparation steps, such as abstaining from certain foods, alcohol or certain medications. You'll receive a personalized prep guide to keep track of your experience and for help integrating your journey.
