Group KAP
A structured, therapist-led program combining altered states of consciousness with group process and integration.
The Power Of Group
Accesible
Delivers this level of care at a lower cost, without compromising the structure or quality of the experience.
Group as Catalyst
The presence of others accelerates insight, openness, and emotional processing.
Deeper Integration
Hearing, reflecting, and processing together helps translate insights into meaningful, lasting change.
In this setting, clients often experience:
Recognition that they are not alone
Increased emotional openness and expression
Faster access to core material
Deeper integration through shared reflection
The group acts as both a mirror and a support system, amplifying the therapeutic process.
A Different Model of Care
This is not traditional group therapy.
Our group program is a structured clinical process that combines preparation, ketamine-assisted sessions, and integration, delivered within a small, consistent group.
Participants move through the program together. The group becomes part of the therapeutic process.
This model leverages two powerful mechanisms:
Altered states of consciousness to disrupt rigid patterns of thinking and emotional processing
Group dynamics to deepen insight, connection, and meaning-making
The result is a treatment experience that is often more immersive, more connected, and more impactful than individual work alone.
The program follows a structured, process designed to support safety, depth, and integration.
Preparation Phase
Two virtual preparation sessions
Initial work completed in two small groups (3 participants per group, 1 therapist)
Followed by a full group session (6 participants, 2 therapists)
KAP Sessions (1–6)
Six in-clinic ketamine-assisted sessions
Conducted as a group of 6 participants
Supported by two therapists throughout
Sessions are spaced to allow for integration and stabilization
Integration Phase
Integration sessions completed virtually after each KAP session
Final integration session held two weeks after the last KAP session
This structure ensures that participants are prepared, supported during the experience, and guided through meaningful integration afterward.
