Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

---

You will first schedule an initial evaluation with the Journey Clinical team. They will then go over your medical and psychiatric history, provide education on the treatment and determine if you are eligible for KAP. If they determine that you are eligible for KAP, they will develop a personalized Ketamine prescription and outcome monitoring plan for you. Journey Clinical’s medical team will write a ketamine prescription for you, and a small amount of oral ketamine will be sent to your home, enough for the first 2 KAP sessions. You will be taught to take your vitals and self-administer the ketamine lozenges by Journey Clinical’s medical team in advance of our KAP sessions.

Once you receive your ketamine lozenges, your therapist at Rooted Revelations Counseling Center will schedule time with you for our KAP preparation, dosing and integration sessions. Preparation session(s) will be scheduled just like regular therapy sessions prior to the KAP dosing session. The goal of a preparation session(s) is to align on the process and set goals/intentions for our KAP sessions together.  

A typical ketamine dosing session lasts between 2-3 hours and can take place either in-person at the Rooted Revelations Counseling Center office, or remotely via telehealth. During a dosing session, you will self-administer your ketamine lozenge either in the office or in your home. You will be in a comfortable, reclining position wearing an eye mask and listening to calming music. Although a KAP dosing session may be largely an internal experience, your therapist will be present with you the entire time to hold space and provide support as needed.

After our KAP dosing session, we will meet for multiple integration therapy sessions to review the memories, thoughts & insights that arose during your dosing session, process any target memories identified during our preparation sessions and prepare for the next dosing session.

After our first KAP session, Journey Clinical will schedule regular follow ups with you to monitor outcomes and prescribe ketamine lozenge refills, as appropriate. The frequency of follow ups depends on your unique treatment plan, at a minimum of once per quarter.
