Comprehensive Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) at Healing Pathways Psychological Services
Step 1: Medical Treatment
At Healing Pathways Psychological Services, we partner with Journey Clinical to provide a holistic approach to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). The process begins with an initial evaluation by Journey Clinical’s KAP-trained medical team. During this evaluation, a prescriber will review the patient’s medical and psychiatric history to determine eligibility for KAP. If the patient is deemed eligible, the medical team develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to their needs.
Step 2: Psychotherapy Sessions
All patients receive psychotherapy from trained, licensed mental health professionals. Upon receiving a ketamine prescription, patients will undergo a series of sessions with their KAP practitioner. These sessions are designed to maximize the therapeutic benefits of KAP and include:
Preparation Sessions
These sessions help the patient and psychotherapist align on the process and set intentions for their KAP journey. Scheduled like regular therapy sessions, the quantity and length of these sessions are determined based on the patient’s unique treatment plan.
KAP Dosing Sessions
A typical dosing session lasts between 1-3 hours and can be conducted in-person or remotely via telehealth. During these sessions, patients self-administer a ketamine lozenge while in a comfortable, reclining position, often with an eye mask and calming music. The therapist remains present throughout to provide support as needed. On average, patients are prescribed 6-8 dosing sessions.
Integration Sessions
Following each dosing session, the patient meets with their therapist for multiple integration therapy sessions. These sessions focus on reviewing the insights and experiences from the dosing session and preparing for future sessions.
Step 3: Ongoing Outcome Monitoring
Our medical team conducts regular follow-ups to monitor the patient’s progress, working closely with the psychotherapist to ensure a cohesive treatment plan. These follow-ups are customized based on the patient’s needs, with a minimum frequency of once per quarter.
