Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
A catalyst for deeper healing, insight, and reconnection with your inner wisdom.
Sometimes talk therapy alone isn’t enough. When you’ve tried to “work through it” but still feel stuck—disconnected, numb, looping in the same patterns—ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) can offer a doorway into something deeper.
KAP combines the therapeutic use of ketamine, a legal, FDA-approved medicine, with psychotherapy before, during, and after your experience. In a safe, supportive environment, this approach allows your mind to soften its defenses and explore beyond the grip of anxiety, trauma, depression, or rigid thought patterns.
Why Ketamine?
Ketamine has been shown to rapidly reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. But more than just a symptom reliever, it can gently disrupt unhelpful narratives and open space for new insight, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of meaning. Clients often describe it as reconnecting with parts of themselves that had been silenced—or as seeing their life with fresh clarity.
What to Expect
Your experience with KAP is highly personalized and grounded in trauma-informed care. I’ll work with you to determine if this modality is appropriate and beneficial for your goals. The process includes:
- Preparation sessions – We clarify your intentions, explore your history, and build trust and safety.
- Ketamine sessions – Conducted in a calm, private setting, with you supported throughout the experience. I remain present as your guide or anchor.
- Integration sessions – This is where much of the transformation happens. We’ll reflect on the experience, deepen insights, and apply them to your life.
At One Life Therapy, ketamine is administered via lozenges (sublingual) in collaboration with a licensed medical provider. I collaborate closely with prescribers to ensure your care is holistic and well-coordinated.
Is This for You?
KAP may be a fit if you are:
- Feeling stuck in your healing journey
- Navigating a major life transition or identity shift
- Unraveling shame and self-doubt
- Looking to soften harsh inner critics
- Autistic, highly sensitive, or creatively wired—and tired of traditional therapy missing the mark
- Struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma that hasn’t fully responded to talk therapy alone
- Feeling spiritually disconnected, and curious about exploring altered states of consciousness in a therapeutic way
- Exploring identity (gender, neurotype, belief system) with less fear and more self-trust
You don’t need to “have it all figured out” to begin. KAP isn’t about escaping your reality—it’s about meeting it with more compassion, clarity, and choice.
Safety and Ethics
Your psychological safety is paramount. KAP is never rushed or cookie-cutter. I move at your pace, with informed consent and full transparency every step of the way. I work only with clients for whom this modality is appropriate, and referrals are available if medical screening determines a better fit elsewhere.
