  • • What You Should Know About the Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Process

    Transformational Psychotherapy helps treat depression, PTSD, anxiety, other mental health conditions and relational issues using Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). In general, we offer two methods for the administration of ketamine.

    Often, we begin treatment with lozenge sessions in the office. This allows us to understand your sensitivity to ketamine and is a gentle introduction to the medicine. When appropriate, we provide ketamine in a limited prescription for at-home use under our close supervision. This arrangement intensifies the therapy, reduces in-office time, and thereby also decreases costs.

    Our second method is the administration of ketamine as an intramuscular injection. With both, we provide a dosage gradation that is respectful of the learning experience that is ketamine’s signature as an alternative medicine. We are always interested in you and your experience.

    Our protocol is client-centered, using the medicine to enhance and deepen psychotherapy. Ketamine’s extraordinary record of safety with proper use makes our ability to serve you in a comfortable setting conducive to your having profound and life-changing experiences. We provide a therapeutic process that fosters your healing and opens your mind and heart.

    A Typical Protocol:

    We conduct two in-office sessions in the first month. After teaching carefully how to use lozenges at home, we prescribe lozenges one month at a time for at-home use. Then, we do the other in-office sessions every two to six weeks. We continue until improvement is seen and felt in consciousness and symptoms. The exact frequency will depend on the individual. We cannot predict in advance the number or frequency of sessions. This is dependent on you, your needs, the severity of your difficulty, and your response to ketamine and therapy. We schedule Integration sessions (as necessary) to amplify and support the therapeutic gains clients get from their KAP sessions. We maintain a high level of availability and support.

    When our patients come to our office for a ketamine session, our practitioners provide intensive psychotherapy. This is another quality that defines us, as other providers may not offer psychotherapy while the client is undergoing ketamine treatment. We view therapy as a crucial part of our overall process.

    Each KAP session tends to last about three hours. The duration of the recovery period varies depending on your response to the medicine. You are only released to travel once it is safe to do so, and we prefer you have a ride whenever possible.

    • KAP Costs

    When it comes to our psychotherapy and ketamine fees, we charge the following:

    • In-Depth Psychiatric/Medical Assessment, Initial Evaluation, and Screening Intake – $450

    • In-Office Sub-Lingual lozenge and/or Intramuscular (IM) Sessions – the range is $950 per session. Fees will be discussed in depth before the session at the intake. (Note: These sessions generally last between 2.5 and 3 hours with concurrent psychotherapy. Either both therapist and prescriber are present, or Therapist only).

    • Follow-up Hour-Long Integration Sessions with No Ketamine Medicine (part of the continuous KAP Integration Process) – fee schedule sent upon request.

    • KAP and Insurance

    Please be informed that insurance, as of this time, does not cover ketamine fees. As KAP practitioners, we can assist you with recovering fees from your insurer and billing according to psychotherapy coding., by providing a ‘superbill’ for you to submit to your insurance company.

    • Cancellation Policy Reminder

    If you can’t make it to one of our sessions for whatever reason, please notify us at least 48 hours in advance. Also, if your session falls on a Monday, please notify us at least by the Thursday before the scheduled date. Since our sessions run three hours, timely notification is essential to our practice. We cannot fill these long time slots at the last minute. We thank you in advance for your understanding. You will be billed for unannounced missed sessions, as this is essential to the success of our practice.
