We are dedicated to the practice of compassionate and ethical Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) at Polaris is structured around compassionate and ethical care, with individualized treatment plans developed in collaboration with medical providers and the client’s treatment team. Sessions include intake, preparation, 3-hour KAP sessions, and integration as needed.
Course Overview
Polaris offers Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for people seeking mental health treatment in a structured clinical setting. The approach emphasizes mindful set and setting, the therapeutic relationship, and coordinated care with medical providers and other members of the treatment team. The treatment pathway includes psychiatric and psychological intake, 50-minute preparation sessions, 3-hour KAP sessions, and integration sessions as needed. KAP sessions are offered with lozenges or intramuscular ketamine, and the session length allows time for preparation, experiential work, and integration. The page describes KAP sessions as ranging from psycholytic to psychedelic, depending on dose. It is presented for clients interested in psychotherapy supported by ketamine and for those seeking treatment that includes therapeutic processing before, during, and after sessions.
