Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Intensive Program
A 16 Week Transformational Healing Journey
Ready to Transform Your Past and Return to the Wisdom Within You?
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that integrates the use of ketamine with psychotherapy to promote deep healing and transformation. This modality can help individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, and existential distress by allowing access to expanded states of consciousness and profound personal insight.
Why This Program?
For individuals who have experienced complex trauma, PTSD, or anxiety disorders, traditional talk therapy often falls short of healing the deeper physiological imprints of trauma. Research shows that true healing must engage the nervous system directly. Our intensive model integrates multiple healing modalities to provide a multidimensional approach to transformation.
This program combines:
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): Activates neuroplasticity and loosens rigid trauma patterns.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) Touch Work: Helps release trauma stored in the body and promotes nervous system regulation.
Polyvagal Theory: Offers a framework for understanding and shifting your body’s states of safety, activation, and shutdown.
Attachment-Based Therapy: To mend relational wounds and build self-trust.
Energy Medicine & Shamanic Rituals: Including Andean ancestral healing, soul retrieval, and sacred ceremonies to restore your connection with Self and nature.
Sound Healing: Utilizing crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, and more to regulate your nervous system and enhance body awareness.
How Does It Work?
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been shown to facilitate neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire and heal. When used in a therapeutic setting, ketamine allows clients to process emotions, memories, and experiences with reduced psychological defenses, creating an opportunity for meaningful breakthroughs.
KAP sessions typically include:
✅ Preparation – Establishing goals, intentions, and a sense of safety.
✅ Medicine Session – Administered in a comfortable, guided environment with support from a trained therapist.
✅ Integration – Processing insights and emotions that arise during the experience to ensure lasting transformation.
Why an Intensive Model?
Unlike traditional therapy that can take years, our intensive format is designed to accelerate your healing process through focused and immersive work.
Deeper Focus & Engagement: A structured, continuous program that builds therapeutic momentum.
Greater Nervous System Regulation: Regular sessions help stabilize and integrate emotional experiences.
Comprehensive Healing: Addresses the mind, body, and spirit as an interconnected whole.
Enhanced Psychedelic Integration: A layered approach that maximizes ketamine’s therapeutic potential.
Your investment in this accelerated journey is not only efficient—it’s cost-effective in the long run.
How Is This Different from a Ketamine Infusion Without Therapy?
A simple ketamine infusion may offer some benefits, but true healing happens when the medicine is combined with therapeutic intention and supportive integration practices.
Beyond the Medicine: KAP nurtures a deep connection with yourself and your therapist.
Personalized Exploration: The therapeutic relationship enables deep, individualized insight that an infusion alone cannot provide.
Integration is Key: Ample time between sessions for processing and reflection is where lasting transformation takes place.
