Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a state-of-the-art, game-changing service offered by Amy’s Mind Lab, a therapy center that adheres to only evidence-based practices in the areas of brain health. In micro doses, ketamine is found to be profoundly effective as an antidepressant when administered in a therapeutic setting.
What is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy?
Ketamine’s antidepressant effects are grounded in decades of well-established neuroscience. By blocking NMDA receptors, Ketamine alters how the brain processes glutamate— neurotransmitter critical for learning, memory, and mood regulation.
How does it work?
Chronic stress and depression are proven to break down the brain's communication network, resulting in us feeling stuck in negative thought loops and patterns. By boosting glutamate signaling, ketamine promotes neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new connections and adapt over time. It also encourages immediate growth of new synapses to support more flexible thinking. The integration sessions will help reframe your experiences, shift your perspectives & build resilience to stress and to triggers.
This is where the healing begins.
What are the results?
Clients report seeing a significant improvement in their ability to regulate their mood and think more clearly. This is often noticed within hours, and lasts for up to two weeks per session. In addition to those changes, ketamine assisted psychotherapy has demonstrated exceptional effectiveness in reducing symptoms of social and general anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, and treatment-resistant depression.
