Benefits of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP):

​

• Relief from Symptoms: One of the biggest advantages of ketamine therapy is its ability to provide fast relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to start working, ketamine often delivers noticeable results within hours or days.

​

• Deeper Emotional Processing: Ketamine helps create an altered state of consciousness, which can allow people to tap into deep emotions and experiences that might be difficult to access through regular talk therapy. This can lead to significant breakthroughs, helping individuals confront and heal from unresolved trauma.

​

• Promoting Neuroplasticity: Ketamine has been shown to encourage neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to form new neural pathways. For those dealing with depression or anxiety, this means that ketamine may help “retrain” the brain, making it more adaptable and better able to cope with stress and emotional challenges.

​

• Increased Engagement in Therapy: Many people find that ketamine-assisted therapy helps them engage more fully with their therapist and the therapeutic process itself. The effects of ketamine can create a sense of distance from usual thought patterns, offering clearer insights and helping individuals look at their challenges from a new perspective.

​

• Long-Term Emotional Growth: When combined with psychotherapy, ketamine has the potential to create lasting positive changes by shifting thought patterns and emotional responses in a sustainable way. This can lead to long-term improvements in mental health.

​

• Fewer Side Effects: Compared to traditional medications, ketamine tends to have fewer and less severe side effects. For many patients, it provides a safer and more effective option, especially when other treatments haven’t worked.

 

*Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy isn’t appropriate for everyone. All clients must complete a medical evaluation with a licensed psychiatrist or nurse practitioner to ensure ketamine is a safe and appropriate option.*
