Course Overview

This comprehensive program equips clinicians and prescribers with the knowledge, structure, and ethical foundation to safely and effectively facilitate Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP).
Participants will gain a trauma-informed understanding of how to guide preparation, dosing, and integration and how to collaborate seamlessly across therapy and medical disciplines to deliver safe, cohesive care.

Why This Training?

Most KAP trainings focus on either medical protocols or psychotherapy techniques, rarely both. This course bridges the gap. You’ll learn how to build collaborative partnerships between therapists and medical providers that honor scope of practice, enhance client safety, and support the therapeutic process from intake through integration.

Who Is This Training For?

• Therapists (LMFT, LPC, LCSW, PsyD, PhD)
• Medical providers (NP, PA, MD, DO, RN)
• Multidisciplinary teams seeking to integrate KAP into existing practices
  *Participants must be licensed or under supervision of a licensed provider.

Program Structure 

• Weekly 2-hour live online sessions (12-weeks)
• Two in-person experiential sessions (Nashville, TN). It is not required that participants engage in Ketamine and can still participate in the experiential modules.
• Collaborative case consultation and interdisciplinary integration circles

Curriculum Highlights

• Neurobiology and mechanisms of ketamine
• Preparation, screening, and safety protocols
• Dosing models and facilitation frameworks
• Trauma-informed and somatic approaches
• Building therapist–prescriber collaboration models
• Ethics, documentation, and scope of practice boundaries
• Integration methods that support sustainable healing

What You’ll Walk Away With

• A clear, step-by-step understanding of how to structure ketamine-assisted psychotherapy from preparation through integration
• The ability to assess whether KAP is clinically appropriate and safe for the clients you’re working with
• Practical tools to support clients before, during, and after dosing sessions without over-directing or under-supporting
• A deeper sense of how to stay grounded, attuned, and effective as a therapist in altered states work
• A framework for integrating KAP into your practice in a way that is ethical, sustainable, and aligned with how you already work

This training is designed for clinicians who want to move beyond theory and develop real clinical confidence in this work.
