Are you offering psilocybin or MDMA assisted therapies?

We are only able to offer Ketamine Assisted Therapy at this time but hope to have psilocybin and MDMA therapies available soon. The Colorado Division of Natural Medicine is currently finalizing draft rules for licensure of facilitators and healing centers in the use of plant medicines such as psilocybin, ayahuasca, and ibogaine. We anticipate these rules will be in place at the beginning of 2025. We also anticipate MDMA will be approved by the FDA for therapeutic use within the next year. We are closely following the regulatory process and plan to begin working with these powerful medicines as soon as we are able.

What is a typical course of treatment?

A typical series of treatment consists of three to six KAP journeys:

• 1) Eligibility

  • Please check our list of exclusion criteria

• 2) Consultation

  • Free 20 minute phone call to answer any questions

• 3) Intake

  • If we both think it's a good match, we'll set up a comprehensive intake session with me and the prescribing doctor. It's important for us to fully grasp your needs, goals, and aspirations so we can tailor the treatment accordingly.

• 4) Preparation

  • After completing the initial steps, we'll begin gearing up for your ketamine journey. Preparation is a vital component of the treatment process, ensuring a safe and successful experience. This aspect is what distinguishes KAP from infusion clinics.

• 5) KAP Journeys

  • Next, we'll embark on 3-6 KAP sessions, each comprising intention setting, guided meditation, and invocation, alongside the guided journey itself. Following each session, we'll engage in gentle integration practices.

• 6) Integration

  • Afterwards, we'll delve into more comprehensive integration work, a crucial component of KAP. Integration aids in processing your journey experiences, fostering the development of new behaviors, and reshaping your narrative into one of empowerment.

Can I drive home after a Ketamine session?

We require clients to abstain from driving for the remainder of the day after a KAP session. An acquaintance is required to pick up after the first session. A Lyft or Uber may be permitted after subsequent sessions after gaining a better understanding the of the medicine’s effects on each participant.

How long does a Ketamine session last?

A typical medicine session, which includes preperation, medicine, and some mild integration, lasts about three hours. For more information on a typical session, click here.

Does Ketamine work for everybody?

Ketamine-assisted therapy doesn't guarantee success for everyone. It can be effective for conditions like depression and PTSD, but it depends on various factors like how severe your condition is and how your body reacts. Also, having a supportive therapist and doing follow-up work is important for making the most of it. Contact us to see if it's the right fit for you.

Should I consult with my doctor before starting a course of treatment?

Always a good idea but not required. We conduct a thorough medical screening to ensure everything's on track for your sessions and are happy to contact your doctor to collaborate and ensure the safest possible experience for you.

What are the risks?

Here are some things to keep in mind about the possible risks:

1. Feeling Off: You might feel a bit weird or anxious during or after the session.

2. Physical Discomfort: You could experience nausea, dizziness, or changes in your heart rate or blood pressure.

3. Brain Fog: Ketamine might make it harder to concentrate or remember things temporarily.

4. Trauma Triggers: If you've had tough experiences in the past, they could come up during therapy.

5. Medication Interactions: Make sure our doctor knows what other meds you're on, as ketamine could interact with them.

6. Health Concerns: If you've got heart or liver issues, it's essential to be cautious with ketamine therapy.

Please contact us to ask about any concerns you have. We can help you decide if KAP is right for you.

Is Ketamine new? Is there a record of safety?

Ketamine has a good safety record when it's used as intended in appropriate settings. It's been around for a while and is commonly used as an anesthetic in hospitals so there is a robust safety profile. Like any medication, it can have side effects, but they're typically mild and manageable. Our team of expert clinicians will be happy to answer any questions you might have and help make your experience productive and safe.
