Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy at Cambridge Biotherapies™
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a way of helping people deal with emotional challenges that stem from stress, trauma, or mental illness of any kind. Psychotherapy involves regular meetings with a trained therapist, who begins by establishing trust and alliance with the patient. Over a series of sessions, the therapist supports the patient’s exploration of thoughts and emotions to deepen their understanding of their mind, heal psychological wounds, and develop adaptive and positive behaviors.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) at Cambridge Biotherapies
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, or KAP, is our structured therapeutic program that combines the rapid antidepressant effects of ketamine with guided psychotherapy. At Cambridge Biotherapies, this full process is delivered through our KAPstone Psychedelic Therapy Program, which walks patients through preparation, ketamine sessions, and post-session integration to help turn insights into lasting change.
KAP can support people working through stress, trauma, depression, and anxiety. It can be used as a stand-alone treatment or alongside ongoing therapy. Many patients who are not currently in therapy still experience significant benefits from the KAPstone process.

Treatment begins with two introductory appointments in Week 1: an Exploration session and a Preparation session. These visits help confirm whether KAP is the right fit, establish treatment goals, and set intentions for the work ahead.
Beginning in Week 2, the KAPstone Psychedelic Therapy Program follows a structured weekly rhythm. For Weeks 2 through 4, each week includes a KAP session, a next-day integration session, and a solo infusion. Weeks 5 and 6 continue with weekly KAP sessions followed by next-day integration, without the solo infusion component. This schedule may vary based on location and availability, but the structure shown above reflects the standard program.
During integration sessions, the therapist helps translate the ketamine experience into meaningful long-term change by exploring insights, emotions, and themes that arose during the session.
A follow-up therapy appointment is scheduled 3–4 weeks after completing treatment to review progress and discuss potential next steps. A detailed visual breakdown is provided above.
