Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy NYC
Our ketamine-assisted psychotherapy supports you when words feel like they aren't enough.
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is a therapeutic approach that blends the healing potential of ketamine with the supportive presence of a trained therapist. Rather than using ketamine on its own, KAP combines carefully guided medicine sessions with psychotherapy—so you’re not navigating difficult emotions or insights alone.
What is ketamine-assisted psychotherapy?
In this space, ketamine can serve as a catalyst, helping quiet the inner critic, soften defenses, and create space for deeper reflection or emotional release. It’s not about “escaping” your experience—it’s about gently shifting your inner landscape so you can access healing in a more open and supported way.
This therapy is grounded in intention, safety, and integration. Each journey is followed by time to reflect and process, helping you make sense of what arose and bring that insight into daily life.
When it’s done in a safe, supportive setting with trained professionals, ketamine-assisted therapy can be a helpful and well-tolerated option for many people. There’s thoughtful care behind every step—from an initial medical screening to gentle guidance throughout the experience—so you’re supported not just physically, but emotionally and mentally, too.
That said, it’s not for everyone—and that’s okay. The process starts with an honest, open conversation to see if this path aligns with your needs, your history, and what you’re hoping for.
Is ketamine-assisted therapy safe?
Ketamine can help the brain create new connections—sometimes offering a shift in perspective or softening patterns that once felt stuck. But it’s not just about the medicine. The real healing happens in the therapy itself: in the conversations, the insights, and the space to reconnect with yourself in a new, more compassionate way.
Ketamine-assisted therapy can be especially supportive for people who feel like they’ve hit a wall with traditional talk therapy—or for those carrying pain that feels really deep or longstanding.
It’s often helpful for things like:
What conditions can ketamine-assisted psychotherapy help treat?
- Depression, especially when other treatments haven’t worked
- Ongoing anxiety or a constant sense of worry
- Trauma that hasn’t fully healed or keeps resurfacing
- OCD and intrusive thoughts
- Deep emotional or spiritual distress
- Chronic pain that seems tied to more than just the body
