Unlock Your Potential with Ketamine assisted pyschotherapy
Why Ketamine assisted psychotherapy?
Similar to other forms of therapy, Ketamine assisted psychotherapy is not a “quick fix,” even though some individuals have found a single experience to be profound and transformative. We will have multiple sessions before your KAP experience, to facilitate an open, curious mindset, and assists with the integration process. After your experience, the integration process takes advantage of the neuroplasticity window created from the medicine to support personal discovery, growth, and lasting change.
- Faster Progress: KAP often accelerates the therapeutic process, members have described it as “the express elevator.”
- Emotional Release: Many patients report feeling "lighter, with a sense of relief from deep pain."
- New Perspectives: It opens the mind, past the ego to uncover insights and address patterns that were previously difficult to access.

Ketamine is one of the most extensively studied psychedelic medicines. It’s on the WHO’s list of top 10 essential medicines. It is used in pediatrics due to with a high safety profile and can be found in every hospital around the world. Ketamine is a legal, safe, and effective medicine with rapid antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, often noticeable within hours and can last for weeks. As a mental health treatment, ketamine is unlike the typical antidepressants, it helps by targeting the neurotransmitter glutamate, which influences mood and thought pattern development. It promotes neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new connections and deeper understandings. This process gives the brain a "reset," the opportunity to develop new ways of thinking.
Risks
Ketamine is generally very safe but not suitable for everyone (e.g., those with uncontrolled high blood pressure, specific medical conditions, or certain personality disorders). Journey Clinical conducts a thorough screening process to ensure safety, and if needed, works with your other doctors or medical professionals.
