ketamine-assisted
therapy (KAP)

At Full Bloom Therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is offered as an adjunctive therapeutic approach in partnership with local medical providers.

KAP may be incorporated into ongoing psychotherapy for clients who are interested in deepening their therapeutic work through this modality. Ketamine prescribing and medical oversight are managed by partnering medical providers, while psychotherapy and integration support are provided through Full Bloom Therapy.

Ketamine-assisted therapy (KAP) is currently available remotely in Fort Lauderdale and throughout Florida.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is an integrative therapeutic approach that combines ketamine treatment with ongoing psychotherapy to support deeper insight, emotional processing, and meaningful psychological change.

In my practice, KAP is offered as a complement to ongoing therapy work rather than a standalone treatment. The process is thoughtfully integrated within an established therapeutic relationship, with a focus on preparation, intention-setting, and integration, not simply the dosing experience itself.

I provide the psychotherapy, preparation, and integration support throughout the process, while collaborating medical providers oversee all medical aspects of care, including evaluation, prescribing, and treatment monitoring.

Below is more information about the KAP process and how to explore whether this approach may feel aligned for you.

How Does Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Work?

1. Assessment + Clinical Fit

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is offered within the context of ongoing therapy and begins with an assessment process to determine whether this approach feels appropriate, supportive, and aligned with your goals.

Clients typically participate in several foundational psychotherapy sessions prior to beginning KAP. These sessions allow us to build rapport, clarify intentions, establish safety, and develop a shared understanding of what you’re hoping to work toward in therapy.

If KAP appears clinically appropriate, I will provide a referral to a collaborating medical provider for medical evaluation and prescribing.

2. Medical Evaluation + Prescription

You will meet virtually with a collaborating medical provider who will review your medical and psychiatric history, provide education about ketamine treatment, and determine eligibility for KAP.

If approved, the medical provider will create an individualized prescribing and monitoring plan. Ketamine prescriptions and medical oversight are managed entirely through the collaborating medical team.

3. Preparation Sessions

Before the dosing session, we will continue meeting for preparation sessions designed to help you feel grounded, informed, and supported throughout the process.

Preparation sessions focus on:

clarifying intentions
discussing what to expect
identifying supportive resources and coping tools
strengthening the therapeutic container for the work ahead

KAP is most effective when approached thoughtfully and collaboratively, rather than as a standalone experience.

4. KAP Dosing Sessions

KAP dosing sessions are conducted remotely via telehealth and typically last approximately 2–3 hours.

During the session, you will self-administer ketamine medication prescribed by your medical provider from the comfort of your home. Clients are typically in a comfortable reclining position, often using an eye mask and music to support an inward, reflective experience.

While much of the experience may be internal, I remain present throughout the session to provide therapeutic support, grounding, and guidance as needed.

5. Integration

Integration is an essential part of the KAP process.

Following dosing sessions, we will meet for integration therapy sessions to explore the emotions, insights, memories, and patterns that emerged during the experience and to support meaningful incorporation of that work into your daily life and ongoing therapy process.

KAP is not just about the experience itself, but about how the insights that emerge are explored, integrated, and translated into lasting change.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) FAQs

What is ketamine?

Ketamine is a legal, research-supported medication that has been increasingly used in mental health treatment for concerns such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma-related symptoms.

Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine can work more rapidly, with many people noticing shifts in mood, emotional openness, perspective, or relief from long-standing patterns within hours or days after a session. It is also believed to support neuroplasticity ( the brain and nervous system’s ability to form new pathways and patterns) which can create more openness for emotional processing, insight, and change.

In ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), the medication itself is only one part of the process. The experience can help create more access to emotions, memories, self-understanding, and perspectives that may feel harder to reach in ordinary states of consciousness, especially when paired with intentional preparation, integration, and ongoing therapeutic support.

Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, nasal spray, and sublingual lozenges. In my KAP practice, we typically use sublingual lozenges or buccal troches. I also offer preparation and integration support for clients receiving ketamine treatment through other providers or methods of administration.

How does ketamine feel?

The effects of ketamine can vary depending on the dose, as well as each person’s nervous system, emotional state, and relationship to the experience itself. The active effects typically last around 45–90 minutes, and many people describe the experience as feeling calming, expansive, or different from ordinary waking consciousness.

At lower doses, people may feel more relaxed, emotionally open, or less caught in anxious thought patterns. At higher doses, the experience can feel more immersive or inward, with a stronger shift in perception, sense of self, or awareness of thoughts and emotions.

Because ketamine affects awareness and perception, some people spend the experience lying down comfortably with eyes closed or lightly covered while listening to music.

Some experiences feel emotional or insight-oriented, while others may feel more symbolic, spacious, or difficult to fully put into words afterward. Often, people leave with a felt sense of clarity, emotional openness, or perspective shift, even if the experience itself is hard to explain logically.

Once the acute effects begin to wear off, we spend time gently processing and integrating whatever came up during the session. Research also suggests that ketamine may support neuroplasticity and ongoing emotional change in the days and weeks following treatment.
