Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy & Psychedelic Integration

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Psychedelic Integration offer powerful opportunities for healing, insight, and transformation. In a safe and thoughtfully supported setting, these approaches can help you access deeper emotional material, shift long-standing patterns, and reconnect with a greater sense of clarity and meaning. Whether you are preparing for a therapeutic experience or seeking support in making sense of one, our work together centers on safety, intention, and lasting integration.

What is Psychedelic Integration?

Psychedelic integration refers to the ongoing process of honoring and exploring material that arises during and after a psychedelic experience. This can involve a wide range of activities, including psychotherapy, that maximize therapeutic benefits from psychedelic experiences. Music, art, journaling, movement & bodywork, and being in nature can all contribute to the integration of these experiences.

Psychedelic integration can include:

  • Making sense of experiences

  • Identifying important narratives

  • Solidify insights or new perspectives

  • Intentionally make changes based on new insights

  • Addressing psychological content that may emerge, including traumatic memories

  • Building and increasing connections and social support

  • Harm reduction strategies and practices

Who may benefit from psychedelic integration:

Psychedelic integration can support anyone who has had a psychedelic experience and wants to make sense of it, process emotions or insights, and translate those experiences into meaningful application in daily life. It can be especially helpful for people navigating personal growth, trauma processing, spiritual exploration, or patterns that feel stuck, providing a safe space to reflect, understand, and integrate new perspectives.

What to expect from psychedelic integration:

During integration sessions, we’ll reflect on your psychedelic experience together in a safe, person-centered space. You’ll have the opportunity to process emotions, reflect on any insights, and connect with what arose during the experience. Integration can help turn fleeting experiences into meaningful growth, deeper self-understanding, and practical tools you can carry forward.

Ketamine‑Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a therapeutic approach that combines the effects of ketamine with psychotherapy in a safe, supportive setting. Ketamine is a medicine that has been used safely in medical care for decades. It supports neuroplasticity and can help people access emotions, insights, and perspectives that can be harder to reach through talk therapy alone.

Ketamine can be delivered in several ways, including intravenous, intramuscular, or sublingual administration. In my practice, sublingual ketamine lozenges are are taken under supervision, and I provide gentle presence throughout the entire session. The experience is thoughtfully supported before, during, and after the session with psychotherapy to help you process feelings and insights and integrate them into your everyday life.

Who may benefit from KAP?

KAP can be a powerful option for people 18+ who have struggled with conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma responses, OCD, or patterns that feel stuck despite traditional therapy. Because ketamine affects mood and cognition in a way that can open new psychological pathways, many clients who feel they’ve “hit a wall” in conventional treatment find that KAP offers a fresh opportunity for insight, emotional processing, and relief from symptoms. KAP isn’t a one‑size‑fits‑all treatment, and eligibility is determined collaboratively through a thorough medical and psychological evaluation prior to the first session.

What can I expect from a KAP session?

Preparation: Before your dosing session, we’ll meet for preparation sessions that feel much like traditional therapy. You will be able to get all of your questions answered, build a sense of safety, and talk through everything needed to prepare for the experience.

Dosing Session: During the KAP session, you’ll take a prescribed ketamine lozenge in a calm, comfortable environment. Many clients choose to use eyeshades and music to support inward focus, and I stay present throughout the session to provide reassurance and support as needed. A typical session lasts about 1.5–3 hours, though the primary effects of ketamine usually last 45–60 minutes. After the treatment session, you will not be able to drive and will need to arrange for transportation from the session.

Integration: After the session, we’ll meet to reflect on the experience, process any emotions that arose, and explore and integrate any insights that feel important. Integration is a key part of how KAP can help you connect with yourself and your therapeutic process in a new way.
