Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Our Approach to Ketamine Therapy: Preparation and Integration Make the Difference

​While research demonstrates that ketamine can be highly effective as a standalone treatment, clinical outcomes improve significantly when psychotherapy is incorporated via Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). At MindWave Medicine, we strongly believe in the transformative power of these Preparation and Integration sessions having witnessed their profound impact firsthand. As such, these sessions, are a key component of our treatment protocol to ensure the full, lasting benefits of ketamine therapy. Our providers offer the highest level of care, having completed a year-long Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) certification program with the renowned Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI).

​

In KAP, ketamine is used to induce a non-ordinary state of consciousness, helping patients access subconscious material, gain new perspectives, and foster deeper self-awareness. We take a non-pathologizing approach, focusing on the belief that you are already whole. Our role is to help peel back the layers to reveal your true self and discover your own inner healing intelligence. We work collaboratively with our clients, empowering them rather than dictating their journey. Leveraging this enhanced neuroplastic state can cultivate a sense of connection, clarity, and reduced self-judgment. This process helps strengthen relationship with self and others, supporting lasting mental health benefits. By disrupting patterns of ruminative or negative thinking, ketamine can provide relief to individuals stuck in negative cycles. Through the creation of a safe, supportive environment, clients are able to explore traumatic memories or difficult emotions with confidence, all within a carefully structured therapeutic framework.

​

Ketamine is used to treat depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, OCD, postpartum depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), chronic pain, grief, existential crisis, end-of-life crisis, and more.
