KETAMINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines psychotherapy with medically prescribed ketamine for eligible clients who have completed appropriate medical evaluation and clinical screening.

Kimberly provides the psychotherapeutic preparation, support, and integration components of KAP. Medical assessment, prescribing, medication management, and medical eligibility decisions are handled separately by an authorized medical provider.

SPECIALIZED THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT

Medical Evaluation & Prescribing

Ketamine is prescribed by an authorized medical provider following a separate medical evaluation.

The prescribing clinician is responsible for:
• Medical screening & comprehensive psychiatric assessment
• Medication eligibility determination

• Prescription & pharmacy fulfillment

• Dose and frequency guidelines

• Medication instructions & patient safety education

• Medical monitoring and follow-up

Kimberly remains responsible for the psychotherapy portion of care. Transcendent Sanctuary collaborates with independent medical prescribers, such as Journey Clinical, ensuring each client receives thorough medical assessment and dedicated psychiatric oversight while receiving compassionate, individualized psychotherapeutic care.

POTENTIAL AREAS OF SUPPORT

Creating Space for Awareness, Reflection, and Connection

Greater Self-Awareness

Therapeutic reflection may help clients notice emotions, patterns, relationships, or experiences from a different perspective.

Deeper Reflection

A supported therapeutic environment may create space to explore thoughts and experiences that feel difficult to access in everyday life.

Pattern Awareness

Clients may become more aware of repeated emotional, relational, or behavioral patterns.

Emotional Exploration

Therapy may provide space to notice and explore emotions with professional support.

Connection With the Body

Clients may be encouraged to notice physical sensations, internal signals, and their relationship with emotional experience.

Integration Into Daily Life

Integration sessions may help connect new awareness with relationships, boundaries, values, choices, and daily routines.

Every person's experience is different. Ketamine Therapy does not guarantee a specific
therapeutic or medical outcome.

CLINICAL SUITABILITY & SAFETY

Is KAP Right for Everyone?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy may be worth discussing if you are:

  • Interested in learning about a specialized therapeutic approach

  • Comfortable participating in appropriate medical and clinical screening
  • Interested in preparation and integration support
  • Looking for individualized clinical guidance
  • Willing to discuss your medical and mental-health history with appropriate providers
  • Interested in understanding whether this service may fit your current needs

KAP is not appropriate for everyone. Eligibility depends on both medical evaluation and psychotherapeutic assessment. Participation requires appropriate medical approval, clinical suitability, informed consent, and agreement to follow applicable safety instructions.

Age Requirement:

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is offered to eligible adults age 18 and older, subject to medical and clinical screening.

Informed Consent & Personal Choice:

Before participating in KAP, clients are provided with information about the nature of the service, potential benefits, limitations, risks, expectations, and available alternatives. Participation is voluntary, and clients may ask questions before deciding whether to proceed.

Transportation & Supervision:

Clients must follow the transportation and supervision requirements established by their prescribing provider and KAP treatment plan. Driving or engaging in hazardous activities while affected by ketamine is not permitted. Clients must have a designated chaperone accompany them home following dosing sessions.

Clinical & Medical Clearance:

Both Kimberly (psychotherapy suitability) and the independent prescribing medical provider (medical and psychiatric evaluation) must confirm that KAP is appropriate for your individual care.
