What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a synthetic pharmaceutical compound classified as a dissociative anesthetic. It is one of the most widely used medications in modern medicine. In the past two decades, ketamine has been increasingly clinically applied to subanesthetic doses as an off-label treatment for various chronic treatment-resistant mental health conditions. 

Why Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?

 KAP includes a combination of thorough medical and psychological assessment by KAP-trained providers, ketamine-dosing sessions, specialized integration psychotherapy sessions, and focused mindfulness training and skill-building. This comprehensive treatment approach leverages the specific neuroplastic and antidepressant effects of the medication, resulting in significant symptom improvement that proves sustainable over time when the full treatment protocol is followed. 

Although there’s been an increase in clinics that administer ketamine, many of them lack attention to the importance of integrating the medicine as part of a comprehensive treatment approach designed to address specific mental health concerns. Ketamine is not a magic bullet and should not be considered a stand alone treatment for mental health concerns.

Rather, KAP includes ketamine as an important component of time-focused but comprehensive treatment designed to alleviate symptoms, improve functioning, and facilitate your consistent efforts in therapy and daily living. KAP opens a window of opportunity where you can get more traction in making meaningful changes, such as challenging problematic thinking, overcoming undermining behaviors, strengthening a mindfulness practice, and developing habits that facilitate emotional regulation and a greater sense of well-being.
