I only provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to clients over the age of 18 who reside in New York.

In order to participate in KAP, you must meet diagnostic criteria for a mental health diagnosis such as anxiety, depression or PTSD in order for me to make a referral to a medical provider. 

KAP can be helpful for people who are looking to make more meaningful gains in therapy, are at an impasse in their therapeutic work, have tried psychiatric medications without adequate success, or are seeking to come off of medications with the support of their doctor. 

As my practice is solely focused on providing ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic integration, it's ideal (though not required) that you already have, or plan to have, a primary therapist for working through any ongoing or day-to-day challenges you're facing outside of our work together with KAP. 

KAP lends itself nicely as a short-term adjunctive therapy to any other transformational work you might be doing, and my work with this modality is not intended to replace any therapeutic relationships you already have in place.

My practice is not equipped to support people who are in crisis, in active addiction, or require wrap-around services. 

I offer focused, short-term psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to clients who are already engaged in a primary therapist relationship, or are adequately supported through other means. I'm not able to take on any clients as a primary therapist at this time.

Contraindications for KAP include uncontrolled substance use disorders, unstable medical conditions, and certain psychiatric disorders.

You're welcome to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to explore the list of contraindications further, and this will ultimately be determined by your medical provider. 

If you are not a resident of NY State, I'm unable to take you into my therapy practice. You are, however, welcome to participate in any of my coaching, healing arts, or educational programs. 

Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Ketamine has rapidly-acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hours after treatment. 

It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors and stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood.

Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity and anti-inflammatory processes for lasting symptom improvement.

Ketamine can be administered in various ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, nasal spray, and using sublingual lozenges.

Studies have shown that the benefits to mood and neurological growth can last up to two weeks or more after the ketamine experience, which is why it's important to maximize this time through engaging in growth-oriented behaviors such as therapy.

Ketamine’s direct effects, which most people find pleasant, last for approximately 45 minutes. 

These effects can make you feel “far from” your body and these shifts in perception can often feel expansive in nature, or even "psychedelic."

Some express experiencing a sense of calm akin to a deep meditative state.

The same person can have different responses to ketamine's effects at each session, and there is not an "ideal" way to feel.

While in the medicine, your motor function and verbal abilities will be reduced, so you will likely be laying down in a safe and comfortable position during the session, although you are free to move around as needed with support.

Once these effects subside, you’ll either spend the remainder of your appointment processing and discussing your experience (for sessions where I am your facilitator) or you'll have an opportunity to sip some tea and journal, reflect, or just relax until you're cleared to leave the facility (for sessions that take place at a clinic). 

It's likely that you'll feel a little more open and "altered" for a couple hours after your session, so it's recommended that you take it slow and avoid any strenuous activities. This will all be discussed with you as part of the preparation phase should you decide to pursue ketamine therapy.

I offer the option to meet in-person for 1-1 or group dosing sessions. All preparation and integration sessions are conducted remotely for safety and convenience. 

In some cases, I'm able to arrange to come to your home for the dosing session for a small additional fee. This service is offered within NYC and the Hudson Valley. 

There are a variety of payment options available to support you in making your investment in KAP.

You can engage in this modality on an individual basis, in a group format, or a hybrid of the two. The way we choose to work together can change over time and allows for flexibility.
