Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
Your Journey Starts Here.
Why KAP Can be the Transformative Journey You’ve Been Seeking
Expanded
Consciousness for
Deeper Insights
KAP introduces you to non-ordinary states of consciousness, which can lead to profound insights and breakthroughs. By transcending the limitations of ordinary thinking, we unlock new avenues for self-exploration and understanding.
Enhanced
Emotional
Processing
KAP facilitates emotional processing and release, allowing you to confront and address unresolved issues or traumas. This emotional processing can help you let go of past emotional burdens and create a clearer mental and emotional space for establishing meaningful goals.
Integration as a
Neuroplastic
Window
The integration process is where the therapeutic magic happens. We will work to make sense of the insights gained during the ketamine experience. You can connect these insights to your personal values and aspirations to ensure they become an integral part of your life.
Increased
Motivation and
Resilience
KAP can boost motivation, resilience, and a sense of empowerment. When you experience a deeper connection to your values and purpose, you are more likely to feel motivated to take committed action. You may also have greater resilience, as you are anchored in a strong sense of meaning.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
-
Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly-acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hrs. after treatment and last for up to 2 weeks. It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement.
Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, via nasal spray and using sublingual lozenges. In my work with Journey Clinical we only use the sublingual lozenge form
-
The effects of ketamine, which most patients find pleasant, last for approximately 45 minutes. These effects can make you feel “far from” your body, and facilitate shifts in perception that can often feel expansive in nature. Your motor and verbal abilities will be reduced, so you’ll be lying down in a comfortable position during the experience. Once these effects subsided, we’ll spend the remainder of our appointment giving you space to process and discuss your experience. While it may feel hard to articulate what happened during the experience, patients feel like the insights gained are none-the-less clear. Studies have shown that the benefits to mood and neurological growth can last up to two weeks after the Ketamine experience.

-
Preparation and integration sessions can be held via telehealth or in-person. It is suggested that dosing sessions take place within my therapy office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, however, we are able to discuss the possibility of at-home dosing sessions if the need arises.
-
The number of KAP sessions required varies depending on the individual and their specific condition. Typically, it involves multiple sessions, often spaced apart over several weeks. The medical team at Journey Clinical will help create a treatment plan to determine how many and how often you can participate in dosing sessions.
