Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy 
Proud to be one of the first locations in Syracuse, NY offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

KAP is a holistic approach that combines the use of the psychedelic medicine, Ketamine, as an adjunct to psychotherapy. The adjective "psychedelic" describes anything that might be considered soul or mind manifesting, as the term derives from “psyche” (soul or mind) and “delia” (to manifest). It is my belief that all good therapy is psychedelic in nature in that it may assist you in seeing more and deepening your inner understanding. Sometimes, however, we find that our ability to look within, to feel our emotions fully, and to do all of this without attempting to suppress, distract, or escape, is incredibly difficult. What psychedelic work can offer is a safe, trusted space to be with your experience fully, without running from it or trying to change it, thus allowing for true healing to occur.  

 

Ketamine is unique in that it is a dissociative psychedelic, meaning that part of it's effect is often an experience of separation of mind and body. This creates a broadened perspective that can assist in giving insight into how you relate to you. It also allows for parts of the brain to communicate that don’t normally get to communicate, which can soften some of the rigidity in your current ways of thinking, and heighten your ability to learn and implement new patterns in your life. Studies have found it to be most effective for those experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
