Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
with Empowered Journey
What Is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a therapeutic approach that combines the administration of ketamine – a medication known for its dissociative and psychedelic effects – with personalized psychotherapy sessions.
Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to show effects, ketamine often provides rapid relief. This can make it an option for individuals who have not responded well to other treatments.
Ketamine therapy can help treat those battling depression, anxiety, or trauma. It can provide hope when other therapy doesn’t seem to be working. KAP is emerging as a powerful, transformative option.
How does Ketamine Therapy work?
Ketamine influences the brain’s neurotransmitter systems, particularly glutamate, leading to increased neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new neural connections. This enhanced state allows individuals to explore their emotions and experiences more deeply during therapy sessions, facilitating profound healing and personal growth.
Conditions Treated with KAP
KAP has shown promise in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood, and trauma.
Depression
Rapid alleviation of symptoms, especially in treatment-resistant cases.
Anxiety
Reduction in symptoms of generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and PTSD
Trauma
Can assist in recovery from acute, chronic and complex trauma.
