Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy can help shift the mind calmly with low doses in a monitored setting. The shift in mindset can foster change and healing to take place. During a psychotherapy session, patients can experience a shift in consciousness and an expanded state of awareness. This may translate to improved enjoyment of life, a renewed sense of connections in relationships, and overall positive mood elevation. Other benefits can also include birth in novel ways to view life concerns and freedom from the anxiety deeply rooted in our ordinary mindsets. Ultimately, KAP offers a real-time reflection on this experience to enhance growth and change.

How Is Ketamine Administered?
At New U Therapy & Family Services, we take a modern approach to traditional psychotherapy by offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Intramuscular Ketamine Injections (IM).
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a unique therapeutic method that can enhance the benefits of ketamine. KAP can be administered in our office or from the comfort of your home using oral lozenges. In low doses, ketamine can support psychotherapy breakthroughs by providing the opportunity for deeper self-reflection and emotional processing.
Intramuscular Ketamine Injections (IM) are administered in our office under the continuous guidance of our medical professionals to help you safely receive the treatment. Ketamine Injections are appealing because they require a shorter office visit than Intravenous Ketamine and can provide a more cost-effective solution for relief.
Both ketamine treatment options at New U Therapy & Family Services can help people experience a breakthrough and move forward in renewed wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do Treatments Last?
Before treatment begins, patients will consult with a clinician during an intake session to determine if KAP will be a good fit and identify treatment goals. Once a treatment plan has been established, a single session may last 90 minutes to 3 hours in length. The varying length of time depends upon dose, response to the medicine, recovery time and other factors discussed during the Intake session. While some patients may request a single KAP session, we recommend committing to an individualized treatment course that may occur over several weeks. Traditional therapy may also be part of the treatment process to provide support, incorporate insights, and reinforce positive change.
Is it Safe?
Of course! All treatments we provide have been tested in clinical settings over the course of many months and ensuring the safety of our patients is always our number one priority. During COVID, we allow patients to take it from the safety of their home for low risk, monitored sessions to ensure a controlled session.
