Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

Ketamine is a legal, FDA-approved medication that has been used safely for decades as an anesthetic. In lower, controlled doses, it promotes neuroplasticity and can interrupt negative thought patterns, offering powerful relief from depression, anxiety, and trauma. In a therapeutic setting, it also opens access to deep insight and healing.

Ketamine is typically administered as a lozenge (held under the tongue) or intramuscular injection. The method depends on your needs and is determined with a licensed prescriber before your first session.

No. You remain conscious and aware. Ketamine brings about a dissociative or dream-like state that allows you to explore your inner experience safely. You'll be supported by your therapist throughout the process.

Every person’s journey is unique. Some people experience significant change after a few sessions, while others benefit from a longer series. We’ll work together to develop a plan that fits your goals and pacing.

Not at all. While KAP is effective for conditions like depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD, it’s also deeply beneficial for people feeling disconnected, creatively blocked, or seeking insight and growth. You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit.

Currently, most insurance plans do not cover KAP. We can provide you with documentation for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Payment options will be discussed during your consultation.

Integration therapy helps you process and apply insights gained during your ketamine session. It's essential for long-term healing and transformation. At Irie Wellness, integration is built into your KAP journey so the experience becomes lasting change.
