Experience the healing power of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in Brooklyn, NYC

Experience therapist facilitated Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) sessions in Brooklyn, New York City.

Explore a holistic approach to mental health that embraces you on your journey without judgment.

Ketamine-assisted therapy offers rapid relief and can help with healing:

  • Persistent Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma: If your anxiety, depression, and/or trauma have been resistant to other forms of treatment like traditional talk therapy or medication, KAP could help. A 2024 study found that KAP provides lasting and effective results for all three of these conditions.

  • Chronic Pain or Illness: Our clients tell us that ketamine-assisted psychotherapy helps their pain, fatigue, and other chronic symptoms feel more manageable.

  • Difficulty Navigating Life Transitions: When a major life transition feels overwhelming or is stirring up past trauma, KAP can help you navigate these changes from a more grounded place.

  • Grief and Loss: The pain of grief goes beyond words. Ketamine assisted psychotherapy in Brooklyn can help you process your grief in a way beyond language.

  • Burnout: If you feel rundown and paralyzed by burnout, KAP could help. Psychedelics help our bodies and minds release and be open to major transitions, if that’s what recovering from your burnout requires.

  • Postpartum Depression and Anxiety: Studies have shown that the use of ketamine and esketamine significantly decrease the incidence of short- and long-term PPD. Combining ketamine with a therapist who understands the experience of postpartum depression and/or anxiety can deepen your healing.

Who is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy for?

Ketamine treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD and chronic pain conditions has shown exceptional results in alleviating symptoms.

A ketamine assisted therapy session can provide rapid relief and a deeper therapeutic experience compared to traditional talk therapy alone and is especially useful for people who have not found alleviation through conventional therapy or medication.

In the care of a trusted therapist, ketamine psychedelic therapy is a great way to experience both somatic and psychological healing from challenging symptoms.

HOW KAP THERAPY WORKS

What to Expect

Each therapeutic experience is different and tailored to the individual. One of the most important things about the therapy process is building trust and a safe container for us to work together in. We’ll move at a pace that works for you and your nervous system.

We require all clients to meet for one intake session and at least two preparation sessions prior to using Ketamine, and commit to an integration session following the Ketamine session.

How does ketamine feel?

The effect of ketamine can be described as a state of “light trance.” The choice of dose will depend on prior exposure to ketamine and other psychedelics, body weight and sensitivity. Individuals experienced with psychedelics may receive a higher initial dose. 

Relaxation from ordinary concerns while maintaining conscious awareness under the influence of ketamine is characteristic. This tends to lead to a disruption of negative feelings and obsessional preoccupations. 

You might experience a bodily sensation of relaxation and heaviness and feel a deep connection to the music being played. Your therapist will remain in the therapy room with you throughout the session and might ask guiding questions to help deepen your experience. 

After coming out of the ketamine journey, some people experience a relaxation of their protectors, or defenses, that usually block them from participating in therapeutic work. Since you most likely will have a relationship with your therapist already, this is a great time to do some deeper healing.
