Ketamine-Assisted Therapy in Seattle, WA

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Integration

  • Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is a legal, off label approach that pairs ketamine with supportive therapy for people who feel stuck with trauma, anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm. Ketamine can gently open up new perspective, and therapy helps you make sense of what comes up and apply it to real life. I support you through the therapy and integration process, and I partner with a medical team that handles prescribing and monitoring so you feel cared for and supported throughout.

  • Ketamine is an effective medication that has been used safely in medical settings for decades and is now widely used in mental health care for depression, anxiety, and trauma related symptoms. Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, ketamine often acts more quickly, with many people noticing shifts in mood, perspective, or emotional flexibility within hours or days.

  • Most people describe the ketamine experience as gentle, calming, and sometimes surprisingly pleasant. The effects usually last around 45 minutes. You may feel more relaxed in your body or feel a sense of distance from everyday thoughts, which can allow new perspectives to emerge. Some people notice imagery, emotional clarity, or a sense of spaciousness.

    During this time, speaking and moving can feel effortful, so you’ll be resting comfortably in a supported setting. After the effects wear off, we spend time processing what came up and grounding the experience. Even when it’s hard to put into words, people often leave with a clear sense that something meaningful shifted. Research shows mood benefits can last up to a couple of weeks after a session, especially when paired with integration and therapy.

How Does Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Work?

  • You’ll begin with a virtual consultation with a clinician from the Journey Clinical medical team. They’ll review your medical and mental health history, answer questions, and help you understand whether Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is a good fit for you. This step is about safety, clarity, and making sure you feel informed and supported.

    If you’re eligible, the medical team creates a personalized ketamine plan tailored to your needs and goals. They handle prescribing and outcome monitoring, and a small amount of oral ketamine lozenges is sent to your home for your initial sessions. Before we begin, they’ll walk you through how to take vitals and use the medication so you feel confident and prepared going into the therapy sessions.

  • Once you receive your ketamine lozenges, we’ll schedule time together for preparation, dosing, and integration sessions. Preparation sessions feel much like regular therapy sessions and happen before your dosing day. This time is about building safety, answering questions, and getting aligned on the process. We’ll talk through what to expect, set intentions, and make sure you feel grounded, informed, and supported before moving into the ketamine experience.

  • A ketamine dosing session typically lasts one to two hours and takes place via telehealth, in the comfort of your own home. During the session, you’ll self administer the ketamine lozenge while resting in a comfortable, reclined position, often with an eye mask and calming music.

    Although much of the experience is internal, you are not alone. I remain present with you throughout the entire session, offering support, reassurance, and grounding as needed so the space feels safe, contained, and intentional.

  • Integration is the most important part of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. While the ketamine experience can open insight and perspective, it is the integration work that helps those insights take root and create lasting change. After your dosing session, we meet for integration therapy sessions to gently explore what emerged, make meaning of it, and apply it to your daily life and relationships. This process helps prevent the experience from feeling fleeting and supports real, sustainable healing over time.

  • After your first ketamine session, the medical team you are partnered with schedules follow up consultations to check in on how you are doing, monitor outcomes, and determine whether medication refills are appropriate. The timing of these follow ups is based on your individual treatment plan, so your care continues to feel thoughtful, responsive, and tailored to you.

  • My typical session rate is $200 an hour. KAP sessions, which include preparation, dosing, and integration last approximately 2.5-3 hours long.
