A Process You Stay In

Unlike individual sessions, which emphasize the experience itself, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is an ongoing psychotherapeutic process—where medicine and therapy are integrated over time.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is a form of psychotherapy in which ketamine is used to deepen and extend therapeutic work. The experience becomes part of the therapy itself—something that can be entered, explored, and returned to across sessions.

This is not medicine-assisted therapy. It is psychotherapy in which the medicine participates.

Many approaches to KAP treat the medicine as the primary driver of change. Here, psychotherapy is the central process, and the ketamine experience is one element within it.

This work is psychotherapy first

Our approach emphasizes relationship, shared inquiry, and meaning emerging over time. The therapist does not impose interpretation, but stays with the unfolding of experience.

Rather than moving quickly toward understanding, we slow the process—allowing meaning to emerge in real time.

Psychotherapy here is improvisational

We believe the best psychotherapy is improvisational. No two sessions follow the same path. The work is shaped by what is happening—what is felt, what is unclear, what is just beginning to take form. At the center is holding—a space steady enough for uncertainty and open enough to allow movement.

Because this is psychotherapy, the work unfolds over time. Patterns can be revisited. Experiences can deepen. What emerges can be reshaped. Ketamine helps by loosening rigid patterns and opening space, but it is not the driver of change. Without relationship and continuity, those openings fade. Our work is to stay with them—long enough for them to become part of how you live.

In this way, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is not about producing an experience, but about sustaining a process—one that is held, relational, and evolving over time.

People often come to psychotherapy because something in their life feels stuck, unmanageable, or difficult to face. Our interest is not simply in removing what is in the way, but in helping people develop a different relationship to it. Decades of research on change suggest that it is from this place—where a person can remain in contact with their struggle—that movement becomes possible.

In this process, we are as interested in a person’s suffering as we are in the ways they have already met it—with courage, ingenuity, and persistence. These are not secondary qualities; they are part of what makes change possible.
