Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy
In person therapy in Denver
Psychedelic
Psyche, meaning soul or mind and delos meaning “make visible, manifest, or reveal.”
“Alienation from nature and the loss of the experience of being part of the living creation is the greatest tragedy of our materialistic era. Therefore I attribute absolute highest importance to consciousness change. I regard psychedelics as catalyzers for this. They are tools which are guiding our perception toward other deeper areas of our human existence, so that we again become aware of our spiritual essence.
Psychedelic experiences in a safe setting can help our consciousness open up to this sensation of connection and of being one with nature. It is my great concern to separate psychedelics from the ongoing debates about drugs, and to highlight the tremendous potential inherent to these substance for self-awareness, as an adjunct in therapy, and for fundamental research in the human mind.”
-Dr. Albert Hofmann-

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Are you seeking breakthroughs in mental health treatment? Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) may hold the key to transformative healing.
Research Overview: Ketamine, long recognized as an anesthetic, has garnered significant attention in recent years for its potential in mental health treatment. Research indicates its efficacy in rapidly alleviating symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders. Studies suggest that ketamine works by promoting the growth of neural connections in the brain, leading to sustained relief from symptoms.
Historical Context: Originally developed in the 1960s, ketamine gained prominence as a surgical anesthetic due to its rapid onset and short duration of action. However, its psychoactive properties soon caught the interest of researchers exploring alternative treatments for psychiatric conditions. Over time, ketamine has emerged as a promising adjunct to traditional therapy, offering hope to individuals who have not found relief through conventional methods.
How Ketamine is Used in Therapy: In Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions, a trained therapist administers a carefully calibrated dose of ketamine in a supportive environment. The psychedelic effects of ketamine can facilitate deep introspection and emotional processing, enabling clients to explore and address underlying issues with heightened clarity and insight. Integrating psychotherapy with ketamine can accelerate the therapeutic process, leading to profound shifts in perception and behavior.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How does ketamine differ from traditional antidepressants? Traditional antidepressants often take weeks or even months to produce noticeable effects, whereas ketamine can yield rapid improvement in mood within hours or days.
2. Is ketamine safe for use in therapy? When administered under the supervision of a qualified medical professional, ketamine is generally considered safe. However, like any medication, it carries potential risks and side effects, which will be thoroughly discussed and monitored throughout your treatment.
3. How many sessions are typically needed? The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs and treatment goals. Some clients experience significant relief after just one session, while others may benefit from a series of sessions spaced over several weeks.
4. Is ketamine legal for therapeutic use? While ketamine is FDA-approved for anesthesia, its off-label use in psychotherapy is subject to state regulations. Our practice operates within legal and ethical guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients.
