KETAMINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY (KAP)
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic, evidence-based form of psychedelic assisted therapy that pairs ketamine treatment with dedicated psychotherapy sessions. Combining KAP with ongoing psychotherapy can provide for deeper therapy, insights, more frequent breakthroughs, and better clinical outcomes.
WHAT CAN THE BENEFITS BE?
Enhanced Neuroplasticity
Chronic distress can impair brain cells, reducing their connections and functionality. Ketamine may promote brain health by fostering neuroplasticity, potentially helping rebuild and restructure neural pathways that can aid in supporting sustained healing.
Rebalancing Thought Patterns
By adjusting activity in the brain’s default mode network, Ketamine may help disrupt persistent challenging thought loops which are so common for many of us, potentially enabling the development of healthier patterns and habits.
Potential For Relief
Ketamine’s potential to encourage new brain connections is being studied and there is already a wealth of knowledge demonstrating the therapeutic benefits. Some patients report therapeutic effects that can last weeks or even longer, which may be maintained with periodic maintenance sessions.
WHAT DOES THE KAP PROCESS LOOK LIKE? HOW DOES IT WORK?
Initial Exploratory Consultation
This is a free 25 minute consultation exploring this treatment, discussing your history and expectations, and a conversation to help determine your eligibility.
Initial Medical Consultation
We partner with a medical provider specializing in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy called Journey Clinical. You will meet with a Journey Clinical medical prescriber who will perform a thorough medical assessment and determine medical eligibility for KAP and, if approved, fill your ketamine prescription.
What is Journey Clinincal?
Journey Clinical is a platform for trained and licensed psychotherapists to incorporate science-based psychedelic therapies in their practice safely and effectively, starting with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Journey Clinical’s in-house medical team takes on patient eligibility, prescriptions, and outcome monitoring, while Mosaic Holistic Psychotherapy takes on the therapy. This collaborative care model is designed to deliver personalized treatment plans to meet your individual needs and improve long-term outcomes.
Preparation Session
We will meet in-person or virtually to align on the process and set intentions for the KAP dosing session.
Medicine Sessions
Your medicine sessions can occur in our office with your therapist present or at-home with a trusted identified chaperone. You will self-administer your ketamine lozenge during your session. For at-home sessions, you will identify a trusted chaperone to be on standby for any of the in-person needs that come up during the session. You will work with your therapist to determine who would be best to serve as a chaperone for you. For in-office work, your therapist will be with you for your session, but you will need a chaperone to pick you up from our office.
Integration Sessions
We will review your experience and explore the memories, thoughts, and insights that arise during your dosing sessions. We will explore how to integrate your experience into your daily life.
Follow-up Medical Consultations
You will meet with your Journey Clinical prescriber for ongoing medical updates and any prescription refills.
WHAT IS THE COST OF KAP THERAPY?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) involves two (2) main costs:
1. Psychotherapy Costs Through Mosaic
Therapy sessions include preparation sessions, a portion of the medicine dosing sessions, and our ongoing integration sessions. Our rates and insurance information can be found here.
2. Medical Evaluation & Costs Through Journey Clinical
Journey Clinical accepts insurance as an in-network medical provider through a number of insurance companies. You may be able to use your in-network or out-of-network insurance benefits for your medical evaluations. Coverage will be determined directly with Journal Clinical and your insurance company. To learn more about insurance coverage and costs at Journey Clinical, visit their Insurance FAQs page.
Note that clients will generally pay significantly less for KAP through Mosaic Holistic Psychotherapy and Journey Clinical than they would at a Ketamine Clinic or Medical Practice.
We will discuss costs and explore options during our initial consultation.
