What if the part of you that feels stuck isn’t broken—just waiting to be met in a different way?
You’ve tried talking about it.
You’ve tried not talking about it.
You’ve whispered, “I should be over this by now.”
You’ve wondered if you’re just wired this way—or if healing just isn’t for you.
​
But what if the story isn’t that you’re broken?
What if your mind has been doing its best to protect you—and ketamine therapy helps it finally let go?
​
If you’ve felt stuck in cycles of depression, anxiety, or emotional numbness, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) offers a new way through. Not by forcing insight, but by gently making space for what’s been waiting underneath.
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is talk therapy with the volume turned down on your inner critic.
​
It combines the power of a legal, prescribed psychedelic (ketamine) with the safety of a trained therapist. The medicine softens mental defenses just enough to let you access buried emotions, stuck patterns, or surprising insights—often things you’ve known deep down, but couldn’t quite reach.
​
It’s not about checking out. It’s about tuning in—with support.
Less escape. More return.
​
What makes KAP different from ketamine clinics or infusions?
Unlike medical-only models where you receive ketamine without therapeutic support, KAP blends the medicine with guided talk therapy.
You’re not just having an experience—you’re working with a trained therapist to understand it, integrate it, and build lasting change.

Who Is KAP Therapy For?
KAP is for people who’ve done the journaling, read the books, said “I’m fine” more times than they can count—and still feel like something’s stuck.
​
It’s for the ones who are tired of looping in talk therapy but not ready to give up.
For the ones who don’t just want to feel better—they want to feel real.
It could be for you if:
-
You’ve tried everything, and you’re still carrying heaviness that won’t lift
-
You’re not afraid to feel, but you are afraid nothing will change
-
You’re curious about what healing could look like when your mind steps out of the way for a moment
​
KAP isn’t a shortcut or a magic trick. It’s a doorway.
And if you’re willing to walk through with support, it might show you something your regular mind never could.
Why People Choose to Work With Me in Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Because I don’t just understand trauma—I understand the nervous system.
This work only goes as far as your sense of safety allows.
​
Whether you’re stepping into altered states for the first time or you’ve been walking this path for years, I’m here to help you stay rooted, resourced, and open to the process.
​
I stay current with the latest in KAP research and best practices—so you don’t have to navigate the unknown alone.
​
If you're feeling cautious or uncertain—that’s okay. We’ll go at your pace. Your nervous system sets the tempo, not me.
How to Prepare for Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine therapy isn’t something you do—it’s something you let happen.
And yes, that’s terrifying.
It’s also the point.
​
You can make tea, dim the lights, choose a playlist that sounds like space and feels like home. You can set intentions, clear your calendar, and put your phone on airplane mode.
You should do all of that.
Just know: once the medicine kicks in, you might forget where your legs are.
This isn’t a mind-trip with subtitles. It’s a dissociative dive into the unknown. You may feel like you’re watching your life from another planet. You might cry. You might laugh. You might think nothing happened—until three days later when you realize your usual spiral never showed up.
​
So here’s what actually helps:
-
Boundaries: Real ones. Physical and emotional. Tell your people what’s happening. Make sure no one walks in on you mid-cosmic rebirth asking if you’ve seen the remote.
-
Comfort: Blanket. Sleep mask. Water bottle. Bathroom trip before you start (trust me).
-
Music: It matters more than you think. Avoid lyrics in your language. Avoid free trials with ads. Avoid your “Cleaning the Kitchen” playlist. (I am happy to offer recommendations and work with you on creating a playlist that is yours.)
-
Support: Afterward, don’t pretend you’re fine. Be slow. Be soft. Integration is where the meaning lands—don’t skip that part.
-
Permission: You’re allowed to not understand what just happened. You’re allowed to not explain it to anyone. You’re allowed to simply rest.
​
You can’t plan the trip, but you can pack well.
And no, you’re not doing it wrong. That feeling of total weirdness? That is the work.
FAQ: Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Las Vegas • Online for Nevada and New Jersey
Q. What is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a therapeutic approach that combines the use of prescribed ketamine with talk therapy. Ketamine can create a window of neuroplasticity and emotional openness, allowing you to access thoughts, memories, or emotions that may be hard to reach in regular therapy. KAP is conducted in a safe, structured setting with preparation and integration support before and after dosing sessions.
​
Q. How long will I need to be in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for depression?
The duration of treatment varies, but here’s a general outline:
-
Initial Phase (4–8 weeks):
Most clients begin with 3–6 KAP sessions, spaced about 1–2 weeks apart, along with preparation and integration therapy. Many notice meaningful shifts within the first few sessions. -
Continuation Phase (1–3+ months):
Some continue with monthly KAP sessions and ongoing talk therapy to support long-term healing and integration. -
Long-Term Support (as needed):
You may transition to traditional therapy or return for occasional booster sessions. This process is highly individualized.
​
Summary:
Short-term: 4–8 weeks for initial relief
Medium-term: 3–6 months for deeper work
Long-term: As needed for maintenance and support
​
Q. Are KAP session covered by insurance?
KAP dosing sessions (2 hours) are not typically covered. My rate is $180/hour, so each KAP session is $360.
​
Preparation and integration sessions (up to 60 minutes) may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your insurance plan. I can provide superbills to support this process.
​
The ketamine prescription itself must come from a licensed psychiatrist. I can refer you to providers if needed. In many cases, the cost of the medication is covered by insurance.
​
Q. How often are KAP sessions scheduled?
​Most clients schedule one KAP session every 1–2 weeks. This allows time for proper integration and emotional processing between sessions. The pace depends on your goals, symptoms, and nervous system capacity.
​
Q. What are integration sessions and how often do you need them?
Integration sessions help you process, ground, and apply insights that arise during KAP. Most people schedule one integration session within a few days after each ketamine session, and some continue with weekly therapy during the course of treatment.
​
Integration is essential to making the experience meaningful and lasting.
​
Q. Do you provide the Ketamine?
No, I do not prescribe or dispense ketamine. You’ll need a prescription from a licensed psychiatrist. If you don’t have one, I can refer you to trusted providers. It is often covered by insurance.
The medication can be provided in the form of a lozenge or a nasal spray, which you would bring to session and administer during our KAP session together.
​
Q. Who is KAP for?
KAP is for people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, or emotional numbness—especially if traditional talk therapy hasn’t brought the relief you're seeking. It may be right for you if:
-
You feel stuck in recurring patterns
-
You’re open to exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness
-
You want a safe, guided therapeutic container for psychedelic healing
​
Q. Is KAP safe?
Ketamine has a long-established safety profile when used responsibly under medical supervision. KAP sessions are conducted in a controlled, therapeutic environment. You’ll be carefully screened beforehand to make sure this approach is appropriate for your mental and physical health.
​
Q. Can you do Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) online?
