Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Capitola
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic stress can impact all areas of life and are often resistant to traditional treatments. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) offers a new path to healing by combining the therapeutic potential of ketamine with the guidance and structure of professional psychotherapy.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that, in controlled, sub-anesthetic doses, can help reduce the intensity of negative thoughts, open new mental pathways, and improve the brain’s ability to heal. When paired with psychotherapy, this treatment can offer profound insights and lasting transformation for individuals struggling with persistent emotional and psychological challenges.

How Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Works
KAP involves the administration of ketamine in a safe, controlled environment, typically via lozenge, intramuscular injection, or IV. Once the medicine is active, a licensed psychotherapist helps guide the experience to support emotional processing, insight, and healing. Sessions are tailored to each individual’s mental health goals and history.
Each treatment includes preparation, the ketamine session itself, and post-session integration therapy. This holistic process allows clients to safely explore their inner experiences, identify patterns, and reframe challenges in a supportive, therapeutic setting.
KAP may be suitable for people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or those who feel stuck in traditional treatment models. It can also help high-functioning individuals access deeper emotional layers to improve clarity, purpose, and well-being.
