Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy:

Effective Mental Health Treatment in West Springfield, MA

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is a type of mental health treatment that involves talking to a therapist. It can help people with a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Psychotherapy can also be used to help people who are struggling with addiction, chronic pain, and other physical or emotional problems. There are many different types of psychotherapy, but they all share the same goal: to help people understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that they can make positive changes in their lives.

Week 11
KAPstone Follow-up

One-Month KAPstone Follow-up therapy session.

These sessions are 50 min each & virtual.

The treatment begins with an evaluation by a medical provider. Next, you will meet with a therapist for an hour-long session to develop treatment goals and work on setting intentions. Then, six cycles of ketamine infusions, and six cycles of psychotherapy sessions, also referred to as an integration session.

During the integration sessions, our therapist works with the patient to interpret the content of the ketamine experience into meaningful long-term change. This may involve identifying insights or analyzing thoughts or ideas that arose during the experience.

A 45-minute follow-up appointment with the therapist is scheduled 3-4 weeks following treatment to evaluate the outcome and talk about possible next steps.
