Every person struggling with mental health challenges deserves the opportunity for healing and transformation. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is a remarkably effective therapeutic modality.

I’m committed to helping widen the availability of KAP in Kentuckiana while upholding a standard of care both for my clients and for the community of therapists in the region. As such:

For a client to be considered for prescription of oral ketamine (troches, lozenges, or rapid dissolve tablets) to be used with an outside therapist, their therapist must meet the following requirements:
