WHAT IS Ketamine - Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?

  • What is (KAP)** Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

    Are you feeling stuck despite trying various therapies?

    Discover a transformative approach with our Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) service, designed to help eligible clients achieve breakthroughs and sustained improvements in their mental health symptoms.

    KAP is a holistic modality that integrates the powerful effects of ketamine with supportive psychotherapy to deepen your healing journey.

  • What is Ketamine?

    Ketamine is a legal and safe medication known for its effectiveness in treating a range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and eating disorders.

    With its rapid-acting antidepressant effects, many clients begin to feel relief within just 1-2 hours after treatment, with benefits lasting up to two weeks.

    Ketamine supports the brain’s neural connections and enhances overall neuroplasticity, promoting lasting improvements in mood and stress regulation.

  • What should I expect from the medication?

    During a Ketamine session, clients often describe the experience as pleasant and expansive, lasting approximately 45 minutes.

    While you might feel a sense of detachment from your body, our comfortable setting—with eye masks and calming music—helps facilitate deep introspection.

    After the effects subside, we’ll take time to process and discuss your insights, which can bring clarity and understanding to your experience.

    Studies reveal that mood enhancements can endure for up to two weeks post-session.

The KAP Process:

Step by Step

  • Step #1 - Meet with Dr. Stephanie Waitt, LPC-S, CEDS

    We start by meeting to discuss your goals, your intentions, and how the KAP process works.

    Once you are determined as a good fit for this beneficial therapy Stephanie will refer you to Journey Clinical to begin your KAP journey.

  • Step #2 : Initial consultation with Journey Clinical

    ● You schedule an initial evaluation with a clinician with the Journey Clinical medical team via zoom.

    They will go over your medical and psychiatric history with you, provide education on the treatment and determine if you are eligible for KAP.

    ● If Journey Clinical’s medical team determines that you are eligible for KAP, they will develop a personalized Ketamine prescription and outcome monitoring plan for you.

    ● Journey Clinical’s medical staff will write a ketamine prescription for you, and a small amount of oral ketamine will be sent to your home, enough for the first 2 KAP sessions.

    You will be taught to take your vitals and self-administer the ketamine lozenges by Journey Clinical’s medical team in advance of our KAP sessions.

  • Step #3 : Preparation sessions

    ● Once you receive your ketamine lozenges, we will schedule time together for our KAP preparation, dosing and integration sessions.

    Preparation session(s) will be scheduled just like regular therapy sessions prior to the KAP dosing session.

    The goal of a preparation session(s) is to align on the process and set intentions for our KAP sessions together.

  • Step #4 : KAP - Dosing Session

    ● A typical ketamine dosing session lasts approximately 3 hours and can take place either in-person at my office, or remotely via telehealth.

    ● During a dosing session, you will self-administer your ketamine lozenge either in my office or in your home.

    You will be in a comfortable, reclining position wearing an eye mask and listening to calming music.

    Although a KAP dosing session may be largely an internal experience, I will be present with you the entire time to hold space and provide support as needed.

  • Step #5 : Integration Sessions

    ● After our KAP dosing session, we will meet for integration therapy sessions to review the memories, thoughts & insights that arose during your dosing session, and to prepare for the next dosing session.
