Ketamine Assisted Therapy
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy offers rapid, meaningful relief from depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I am trained to support you through the process and provide steady guidance at each step.
I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), a modern therapeutic approach that combines ketamine, a legal prescription medicine with psychoactive effects, with psychotherapy. Rather than following a strictly medical model of ketamine administration, KAP centers the therapeutic environment, psychological insight, and emotional processing.
​
Integration plays a central role in KAP. This process involves reflecting on and organizing the thoughts, images, and emotional material that arise during ketamine sessions. Through integration, clients translate these sessions into meaningful changes that continue outside the therapy room, supporting lasting shifts in thought patterns, behavior, and emotional responses. Our therapists guide this process with care, helping clients turn insight into growth.
​
The therapeutic setting also shapes the effectiveness of KAP. Research shows that the environment in which ketamine is administered strongly influences how sessions unfold. Oak Branch Counseling offers a calm, safe, and supportive space designed to encourage openness and comfort. Therapists remain present and attentive throughout each session, supporting both safety and emotional containment.
​
KAP has shown particular benefit for treatment resistant conditions such as depression, suicidality, and anxiety. By combining ketamine with psychotherapy, clients can access emotional and psychological material that may remain out of reach in traditional talk therapy alone. For those who have not found sufficient relief through other treatments, KAP offers a hopeful and structured alternative.
