Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

A short-term, evidence-based treatment that combines low-dose ketamine with psychotherapy to help individuals experiencing depression, PTSD, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who haven’t responded to traditional approaches.

What Is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?

If you’ve tried multiple treatments for depression, trauma, or anxiety with little relief, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an emerging approach that blends the fast-acting benefits of ketamine with the insight and integration of therapy. It’s a promising path forward for people struggling with treatment-resistant mental health conditions.

Ketamine is a safe and widely used anesthetic that’s been in use for over 50 years. At lower doses, it has psychedelic properties that allow you to experience an altered state of consciousness, one that can help you step outside of entrenched thought patterns and access deeper emotional insight. When paired with therapy, ketamine can support meaningful breakthroughs and more lasting relief from suffering.

At the Behavioral Wellness Clinic, ketamine is administered in a calm, supportive clinical setting by trained professionals. Sessions are designed to be intentional, therapeutic, and safe, from start to finish.

How Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Works

Many of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are shaped by past experiences, especially trauma, loss, and long-term stress. Over time, these experiences can give rise to deeply held beliefs about ourselves and the world: I’m not safe, I’m not good enough, Nothing will ever change. These beliefs often reinforce cycles of depression, anxiety, or disconnection.

Ketamine can interrupt these patterns by loosening rigid thoughts and helping you access new emotional terrain. In a KAP session, the medicine creates a temporary shift in consciousness that allows you to explore thoughts and feelings with less judgment, greater clarity, and increased emotional flexibility.

During this altered state, you might experience:

  • A sense of peace or detachment from pain
  • Enhanced insight into old patterns
  • Vivid imagery or dream-like sensations
  • A deeper connection to purpose, creativity, or relationships

After the medicine session, you’ll work with your therapist to process what came up and translate those insights into lasting, real-life change. This process of integration is what sets KAP apart from ketamine alone—it helps you take what you experienced and make it meaningful in your daily life.
