Introduction to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Welcome to a space where exploration meets healing—I’m here to guide you through The Introductory KAP Experience. With over two decades as a holistic therapist, I invite you to dive into the potential of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, where our shared journey unfolds within the realm of genuine self-exploration.
In our shared exploration, we weave together your lozenge dosing sessions with therapy sessions. This offering invites you to embrace the transformative potential of KAP in a space rooted in authenticity and support with sufficient time to prepare for and integrate your journey.
Immerse yourself in an approach shaped by authenticity and compassion. By building a genuine connection we foster healing through building a safe container for self-discovery. These experiences, and the mystical experiences that may be instigated by them, are sacred moments in your personal journey toward healing.
My role is to create a space imbued with heartfelt support, ensuring your experience is not just therapeutic but profoundly human—a journey that resonates with your deepest intentions.
Financial Accessibility:
Sliding scale rates are available for those in need, facilitated by our licensed therapist Ashley Wiscovitch, LMSW. We believe everyone should have access to transformative healing experiences.
