Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services, approach, and what to expect.

Your first session is primarily about building rapport with your therapist and discussing your goals for therapy. We'll review your intake forms, discuss confidentiality, and begin to understand your history and current challenges. This session helps us develop a tailored treatment plan for your specific needs.

KAP combines the administration of ketamine with psychotherapy. The ketamine creates a temporarily altered state of consciousness that can help access difficult emotions and memories while reducing their emotional intensity. This window of neuroplasticity, combined with skilled therapeutic guidance, can lead to breakthroughs in processing trauma and shifting long-standing patterns.

Please note that we are completely out-of-network with all insurance providers. However, we can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about out-of-network mental health benefits and reimbursement policies.

The duration of therapy varies widely depending on your goals, the complexity of the issues being addressed, and your personal progress. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy (8-12 sessions) focused on specific issues, while others find value in longer-term work. We regularly review progress and collaboratively decide on the appropriate course of treatment.
