Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Enhancing ketamine treatments with psychotherapy has been shown to enhance therapeutic effects.

At ManuMind Interventional Psychiatry, we offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as an innovative treatment option for individuals who may not have responded to traditional therapies. This cutting-edge approach combines the powerful therapeutic effects of ketamine with the healing process of psychotherapy.

What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is designed to address deep-rooted emotional challenges and break through the barriers that conventional talk therapy sometimes cannot reach. By combining the neurochemical effects of ketamine with the insight-driven process of psychotherapy, we create an environment where profound healing and growth can occur.

What is the difference between Ketamine Therapy, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a therapeutic process focused on emotional healing, usually involving talk therapy without the use of medication.
Ketamine Therapy involves the use of ketamine to treat conditions like depression and anxiety by affecting brain chemistry directly, usually without integrating psychotherapy.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines the two, using ketamine to enhance emotional processing during psychotherapy, making it a powerful treatment for individuals seeking deeper healing, especially for those with treatment-resistant conditions.

Each approach has unique benefits, and choosing between them depends on the individual's needs, history, and goals. At ManuMind Interventional Psychiatry, we offer all three options, working with you to determine the most effective treatment plan for your specific mental health journey.

At Manumind, we customize ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to fit your needs:

We offer psychotherapy options with licensed reputable mental health providers (psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, nurse practitioners).
For best results, commence psychotherapy before starting ketamine treatment.
Customize as you go. You may prefer to have some ketamine sessions without concurrent psychotherapy and other times want the enhancement. Regardless of whether a psychotherapist is present, your ketamine treatment will be continually monitored and supervised by a licensed healthcare professional.
