Personalized, Evidence-Based
Ketamine Assisted Counseling
KAC is an integrated, evidence-based treatment utilizing ketamine's unique neuroplasticity-enhancing effects to create a critical window for deep insight, allowing you to build new perspectives and achieve lasting relief from conditions like chronic depression and PTSD.
We offer this transformative care via highly monitored Intravenous (IV) KAC and Oral (Sublingual) KAC, delivered within our collaborative therapeutic framework
Deep Growth and Insights
KAC treatment pairs the effects of ketamine with structured psychotherapy to facilitate deep personal growth. This approach utilizes ketamine, a Schedule III medication, safely used as an anesthetic enhancing neuroplasticity and creating a critical "time-out" from usual mind and negative thought patterns.
The goal is to induce a non-ordinary, "dissociative" state that provides new perspectives, accelerates psycho-spiritual growth, and leads to a robust, lasting remission from chronic conditions like depression, PTSD, and anxiety. This transformative process is guided by therapists who process the experience and its impacts with patients before and after the sessions.
Treatment Steps

Medical Evaluation and Treatment Plan
You'll begin with an initial consultation with a KAC-trained prescriber. Your medical and psychiatric will be reviewed during this evaluation to assess eligibility for KAC. If eligible, a personalized treatment plan will be created.

Psychotherapy Sessions
Patient's will be guided through the following sessions:
Preparation: Counselor and patient will establish goals and expectations. This takes place before the first ketamine dosing session and is tailored to the treatment plan.
Dosing: 1-3 hour sessions, patients self-administer a ketamine troches, typically while seated comfortably with calming music. The facilitator is present throughout, offering support as needed. Patients usually have 6-8 dosing sessions.
