Training in the Practices of Ketamine-Assisted-Psychotherapy

Join us in this experiential 3-day training program, designed for mental health professionals interested in acquiring practical, hands-on training and experience with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

Current and conventional antidepressant therapy regimens are not a one size fits all and are not effective for many people. Psychedelic medicine, especially ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, has been showing promise as a highly-effective and fast-acting alternative treatment option. With the safe and intentional use of consciousness-altering experiences supported by health professionals in the right set and setting, KAP can help your clients break through complex trauma and mood issues, and improve mind, body, and spiritual health, resulting in meaningful progress within just a few sessions.

In this training you will learn the fundamentals of facilitating Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, including the various stages of Intake and Assessment, Preparation, Medicine Experience and Integration. This training offers a great opportunity to enrich professional skills, catalyze personal growth, build community within the psychedelic space and can help you to build your own KAP practice.

We hope you will join us and your colleagues in this profound professional and personal development experience! For more information, we encourage you to review this document.

This training will take place in our exquisitely designed Santa Monica clinic, an ideal setting for learning and personal growth. Refreshments are provided throughout the weekend as well as a nutritious lunch each day. You will be responsible for coordinating your own overnight accommodations as needed.
