Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines the power of ketamine’s rapid-acting antidepressant effects with the safety and structure of guided psychotherapy.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Q & A

 

What Is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?

Ketamine has been used safely in medicine for over 50 years. In recent years, research has shown that it can help reset brain pathways involved in mood and emotion. Many have referred to KAP therapy as psychedelic therapy, but it is more than that. When used in a controlled, therapeutic setting, like our office, ketamine can support emotional processing, reduce rumination, and increase a sense of openness and connection.

At Palo Alto Mind Body, KAP is not a quick fix or a standalone medication. It’s a collaborative therapeutic process. During your session, a trained therapist stays with you to help guide the experience, integrate insights, and connect what emerges to your personal growth and healing goals.
