Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Available in-person in Montpelier, VT, and statewide via telehealth
A safe, legal Psychedelic Integration Framework for trauma recovery
Part of you wants to change
You've done the work. You've sat in therapy, said the hard things out loud, maybe even understood exactly where your pain comes from — and you're still stuck. If insight alone hasn't been enough to actually change how you feel, that's not a failure on your part. It just means the door you've been knocking on isn't the only one.
A Guided Path
KAP isn't ketamine instead of therapy — it's ketamine inside therapy, held by someone trained to walk the whole path with you. We prepare together beforehand, so you know exactly what to expect. During the session, you're never alone. Afterward, we integrate what came up, so the experience actually becomes lasting change instead of just an interesting few hours. Simple, structured, and never rushed.
Clients come to KAP because they're ready for something to finally shift — and it can. Reach out for a free consult, and we'll figure out together whether this is the right next step for you.
