What is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?

Ketamine and therapy combined in a protocol for healing

Ketamine is psychedelic medication used to reduce symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, OCD, SUD and PTSD.

It boosts therapeutic bonds in your neural networks, dismantles and reorganizes ego defense mechanisms, and increases feelings of self-worth.

Ketamine is used for treatment resistant symptoms because it is generally fast-acting and has low side-effects. After years of feeling down and discouraged with other treatments, Ketamine gives a different way to jump-start your brain. Working on glutemate receptors (unlike common psychiatric medications that focus on serotonin, norepinephrine, epinephrine), Ketamine can be effective when other medications have not been.

While you are experiencing the effects Ketamine, you will notice that when you review your life and it's events, your ego's perspective is "quieted" and you can face those events or internal debates with strength and compassion.

Integrating your discoveries and the improved way you feeling about yourself during Ketamine sessions is critical to the process. Using a therapist with Ketamine or Psychedlic training (or those supervised by a KAP provider) can increase your success.

Journey Clinical is a web-based psychiatric prescribing service that provides Ketamine lozenges for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Journey Clinical hosts sessions virtually for all consultations, then sends the lozenges directly to you for use either at our office or during a virtual session from home.

We like to start by meeting you. We offer a free consultation with our KAP provider to make sure KAP is a good fit for you. If you would like to have Ketamine administered by a local Spravato clinic rather than using Journey clinical, we can still provide KAP services.
