ABOUT KAP THERAPY

The medicine opens the door. The therapy is where the work happens.

In-person in Manhattan or virtually across NY, NJ & TX.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy pairs medically supervised ketamine with structured therapy before, during, and after each session. The medicine creates a brief window where the mind is more open and receptive. Your therapist works with you inside that window, making the therapeutic work more likely to stick.

Ketamine is legal, FDA-recognized, and has been used safely in medical settings for over 50 years. What makes KAP different from an infusion clinic is the therapy itself. The medicine opens the door. The relationship and the integration work are what actually walk you through it.

At Grounded, we offer KAP in partnership with Journey Clinical, whose medical team manages all prescribing and clinical oversight. Your Grounded therapist stays focused entirely on your care throughout the process.

KAP is not for everyone, and we will be honest with you about whether it makes sense for your situation. The consultation is free, and there is no pressure to continue.

THE PROCESS

A therapist-led, medically supported process.

Every step is structured to ensure the experience is safe, intentional, and genuinely therapeutic, not just the medicine alone.

  • 01. Free Consultation

    Talk with your Grounded therapist about your history, what you have tried, and whether KAP is a realistic fit for your situation. No commitment required.

  • 02. Medical Evaluation

    A telehealth intake with Journey Clinical's medical team to review your health history and determine whether ketamine is medically appropriate for you.

  • 03. Prescription & Delivery

    If approved, a personalized prescription is written and the medicine is delivered directly to your home ahead of your first dosing session.

  • 04. Prepartion Sessions

    One to three sessions with your Grounded therapist to set intentions, discuss what to expect, and build the therapeutic foundation before the medicine is introduced.

  • 05. Dosing Session

    A two and a half to three hour session, in-office or via telehealth. You take the medicine, your therapist is present the entire time, guiding and holding the space.

  • 06. Integration Sessions

    The most important part. Sessions after each dose to process what surfaced, make meaning of the experience, and translate insight into lasting change.

  • 07. Quarterly Medical Check Ins

    Ongoing medical oversight from Journey Clinical's team to monitor progress, adjust the protocol if needed, and ensure your care remains safe and effective throughout.

WHO IT CAN HELP

When other approaches have not been enough.

Research supports ketamine-assisted therapy for a range of conditions, particularly treatment-resistant ones. This is not a first-line treatment, it is a deeper option for people who have already done the work.

  • Treatment-resistant depression, including major depressive disorder

  • Anxiety, including generalized, social, and panic

  • PTSD and complex trauma

  • OCD

  • Grief and complicated loss

  • Existential distress and end-of-life concerns

  • Burnout, chronic stress, and emotional numbness

KAP is not for everyone.

It is worth an honest conversation if any of these feel true:

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

  • You have tried therapy, medication, or both and something still is not shifting

  • You are experiencing treatment-resistant depression or anxiety

  • Trauma symptoms persist despite conventional treatment

  • You feel emotionally numb or stuck in a way that is hard to describe

  • You are open to a non-traditional approach and want to understand it honestly

  • You want to go deeper than talk therapy has been able to reach

  • You have questions and want a real conversation before committing to anything
