Ketamine Therapy

How It Works

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) pairs a fast-acting medicine with a carefully designed therapeutic container to help the brain “unstick” from entrenched patterns. When combined with skilled preparation and integration, many clients experience meaningful, durable changes in mood, perspective, and behavior.

Ketamine can rapidly increase neural flexibility, opening a window where change is easier. Therapy directs that window toward what matters: your values, habits, and relationships. My approach blends safe ketamine dosing with structured preparation and integration so insights turn into lasting shifts.

Quick reality check: Many clinics charge $400–$600 for a single ketamine infusion with no therapy. My program includes two prep sessions, a guided medicine session, and two integration visits to help changes stick.

Adults navigating depression, anxiety, burnout, grief/adjustment, or feeling stuck and ready for a reset. I offer grounded, compassionate care for high-performing professionals and anyone seeking meaningful, evidence-informed support.

What’s included

  • 2 Preparation sessions (1:1) to align goals, set safety plans, and dial in set/setting
  • 1 Medicine session (sublingual ketamine troche) with continuous monitoring and a calm, private environment
  • 2 Integration sessions to translate insights into doable, day-to-day actions

Launch pricing (v1.0)

Founding-client rate: $1,200 (limited slots)

  • Flexible payment plan available (50/25/25)

Medication & prescriber

  • Ketamine is prescribed by my collaborating nurse practitioner Katie Bouchard, an independent provider who accepts most insurances. Clients are responsible for any copay/coinsurance. A self-pay path is available if out of network.
  1. Screen & Prescriber Intake → brief fit call, e-forms, outcome baselines; NP intake for medication
  2. Prep #1 → education, intention, safety, logistics
  3. Prep #2 → narrative mapping, coping tools, music/setting choices
  4. Medicine Session → guided, quiet, eye-shades/headphones optional; you’ll have a safe ride home
  5. Integration #1 & #2 → meaning-making + a realistic behavior plan you can live with

Typical in-clinic arc for troche: 60–120 minutes active time + 20–40 minutes quiet recovery.

  • Therapy-forward: You’re not just getting a dose—you’re getting a plan.
  • Measured outcomes: We track PHQ-9, GAD-7, and other metrics to see real change.
  • Whole-person support: Optional nutrition, sleep, and supplement guidance.
  • Ethical boundaries & safety first: Clear consent, no driving same day, crisis plans in place.
  • Concierge-level attention: Calm space, minimal wait times, real follow-through.

We screen for medical and psychiatric contraindications (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, recent stroke/MI, active mania/psychosis, pregnancy/breastfeeding). You must arrange safe transportation home and avoid important decisions for 24 hours post-session. If ketamine isn’t appropriate, we’ll discuss alternatives.

KAP may be a good fit if you’re:

  • Stuck despite doing “all the things”
  • Open to inner-work and gentle mind-body practices
  • Ready to translate insights into small, consistent changes

It may not be a fit if you’re seeking a one-time “quick fix” without therapy or follow-up.

  • Professional fee: $1,350 (launch) or $1,200 (founding-client) for the full package listed above
  • Medication & NP intake: Billed separately by Katie Bouchard, NP (often insurance-billable; copays apply).
  • Facility fee: Only if we use an external journey studio
  • Add-ons: extra integration visit, booster/mini-journey (by clinical indication)
Transparent note: You may see ads for $400–$600 “infusion-only” sessions. That fee typically doesn’t include therapy, preparation, or integration—the very pieces that help results last.

What does the medicine feel like?
Most describe a gentle, inward, dream-like state with shifts in perspective and reduced inner noise.

Will I be safe?
Yes—we monitor vitals, keep a quiet, supportive environment, and discharge you only when stable. You’ll have a safe ride home.

How many sessions will I need?
Many start with the Intro Package. Some continue with a 3-Journey Program for deeper work—decided together based on your goals and response.

Can I use my insurance?
My practice is cash-based. The NP intake and medication may be covered by your plan (copay/coinsurance apply).

Medicine can open the door; therapy walks you through it. Prep builds readiness; integration turns insights into habits. That’s how change “sticks.”

Psilocybin Therapy


Psilocybin-assisted therapy (PAT) pairs a time-tested medicine with a carefully designed therapeutic container to help the brain and psyche reorganize toward health. When combined with skilled preparation and integration, many clients experience durable shifts in mood, meaning-making, and behavior.

Duration difference: A psilocybin journey typically lasts ~6 hours of active inner experience. By contrast, ketamine’s medicine window is relatively brief (~45–90 minutes; most clinics book 2–3 hours total). Psilocybin’s longer arc invites deeper narrative, emotional, and spiritual processing—one reason the preparation and integration matter so much.

While outcomes vary, modern clinical studies suggest psilocybin may support treatment-resistant depression, end-of-life distress, anxiety, compulsive patterns, and burnout—especially when combined with psychotherapy. Mechanistically, psilocybin:

  • Increases neuroplasticity and network flexibility (helping the brain form healthier connections)
  • Softens rigid rumination and repetitive self-stories
  • Opens a powerful window for insight, learning, and values-aligned change
Bottom line: the medicine can open the door; therapy and integration help you walk through it—and keep going.

A large share of “psychedelic services” in the marketplace are medicine-first or medicine-only models. They often:

  1. Skip preparation, leaving clients under-informed about set/setting, intentions, and medication interactions
  2. Skip integration, offering little support to translate insights into daily life

That can produce short-term relief—but it underuses psilocybin’s transformational window. My model is different by design: we front-load education and safety, hold the journey with skilled presence, then follow with practical integration so shifts can stick.

1) Two Preparation Sessions (60–75 min each)

  • Comprehensive medical/psych screening; med and contraindication review
  • Intention setting, consent, and a personalized plan for mindset, music, and environment
  • Nervous-system readiness (sleep, nutrition, breath/somatic tools) and “what to expect”

2) Medicine Journey (about 6 hours per session)

  • Calm, curated space with eyeshades and music
  • Continuous, trauma-sensitive facilitation focused on safety, consent, and trust
  • Real-time support for somatic awareness, emotion processing, imagery, and meaning-making
Option A — Single Journey Package: 2 prep + 1 psilocybin journey (~6 hrs) + 3 integration
Option B — Three-Journey Package: 2 prep + 3 psilocybin journeys (~6 hrs each) + 3 integration
Journeys are typically spaced 2–6 weeks apart to consolidate gains.

3) Three Integration Sessions (50–60 min each)

  • Turn insights into action: nervous-system regulation, habit/behavior change, relationship skills
  • Written integration plan with clear micro-steps
  • Ongoing safety check-ins and adjustments to sustain progress

Timeline: Single-journey package usually completes in 3–5 weeks; three-journey series spans 8–16 weeks, individualized to your goals and nervous system.

  • Screening first: psilocybin isn’t appropriate for everyone. We review medications, personal/family psychiatric history, cardiovascular risks, and current stressors.
  • Colorado compliance: Medicine sessions occur only within approved frameworks and compliant settings. Preparation and integration can always occur with Dr. Kate.
  • Trauma-informed care: pace, consent, and your felt sense of safety come first.
  • Many clients report relief from depressive/anxious patterns, renewed purpose, and more flexible responses to stress.
  • With integration, improvements more often generalize to daily life—energy, boundaries, relationships, creativity, and health routines.

All services are offered as complete packages to protect safety and outcomes (no à la carte).

  • Single Journey Package: 2 prep + 1 journey (~6 hrs) + 3 integration
  • Three-Journey Package: 2 prep + 3 journeys (~6 hrs each) + 3 integration

Message Dr. Kate for pricing and availability. We’ll explore fit, timing, and whether a single journey or a three-journey series best serves your goals.
