Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy at the Mind/Body Institute
A Breakthrough Approach to Healing
At the Mind/Body Institute, we understand that traditional talk therapy isn’t always enough. That’s why we offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) — a groundbreaking, research-backed treatment designed to help patients experience deep emotional healing, especially when facing depression, trauma, PTSD, or anxiety that hasn’t responded to conventional methods. Ketamine works by creating a temporary shift in brain activity, allowing patients to access new perspectives and engage more openly in the therapeutic process. When combined with the support of a skilled therapist, this experience can lead to lasting, transformational change.
A Safe, Structured, and Supportive Process
Our KAP program is tailored to each patient’s needs and grounded in clinical safety, emotional care, and therapeutic intention. Patient’s undergo a thorough assessment to determine eligibility, followed by preparatory sessions, guided ketamine experiences, and integration therapy to process insights and support long-term growth. Whether you’re seeking relief from emotional pain or exploring new avenues for self-discovery, our experienced team will walk with you through every stage of your healing journey.

Our KAP program combines the therapeutic benefits of ketamine with structured psychotherapy, including options like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for patients working through trauma.

We offer both in-person and virtual KAP services to ensure access and flexibility for your healing journey.

We offer two ketamine administration methods:
- Sublingual ketamine (oral dissolving tablets)

Your provider will determine the most suitable method based on your history, symptoms, and treatment goals. All sessions occur in a supportive environment and may include psychotherapy and EMDR integration, depending on your personalized treatment plan.
