KETAMINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY GROUPS
|
In addition to our individual treatment model, our practice also offers personalized, small-group treatment sessions. This unique modality blends elements of creating sacred space via ritual and ceremony with our depth psychotherapy approach.
We have been inspired by ancestral practices that evoke the power of community to heal and recover our vital connection to each other and the planet. We have also seen the immense power that community has in positively supporting these journeys; many report a collective sense of “group travel” that feels qualitatively different than solo sessions. |
Preparation and integration practices with support from like-minded others also decrease isolation, which is much-needed in our increasingly estranged modern world. Participation in safe community containers can facilitate healing above and beyond the effects of the medicine.
Group sessions lower the total cost of treatment (see Fees for pricing), making ketamine more accessible to a wider range of people, and potentially extending initial solo work in a sustainable manner.
These groups can accommodate 4-6 participants in a module. Our aim is to match participants according to areas of focus or common concerns. Some examples of these focus areas are:
Schedule:
Each group module will begin with a 3-meeting commitment.
We will schedule the following meetings approximately one week apart:
Preparation session: 90 minutes
Medicine journey: 5 hours
Integration session: 90 minutes
We will be traveling through this experience as a cohort, so all 3 meetings are required for group participants.
Additional journey and integration sessions may be scheduled after the first module, and we will collaboratively discuss the possibility of adding other participants at that time.
Getting started and eligibility:
We will regularly recruit for and schedule KAP Groups, so please indicate your interest for these when you contact us!
All potential group members (who are new to our practice) are required to attend our standard medical/psychological intake with our physician/psychologist team to determine if this might be a good fit for you, and screen for any potential medical or mental health contraindications.
NOTE: Group work may not be appropriate for everyone; those desiring in-depth exploration of traumatic material may be best served in a solo session, where two guides are available to assist in navigating internal dynamics with sufficient time and space.
We will discuss whether group work would be a good fit for you during your intake session with our treatment team. We may collaboratively choose a combination of solo and group sessions to best serve your needs.

These groups can accommodate 4-6 participants in a module. Our aim is to match participants according to areas of focus or common concerns. Some examples of these focus areas are:
- Interpersonal Relationships (moving from isolation to connection)
- Mental Health Concerns (depression, anxiety, ruminative thinking)
- Habit Change (substance misuse, challenging behavioral patterns)
- Exploring Identity (sexuality, gender)
- Self-Image (body image concerns)
