KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy)

At The Kineo Center, we offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to support deep healing and personal transformation—whether you are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, or simply feeling stuck in old patterns. Our sessions are available in both individual and group formats.

What makes us different: We don’t believe healing should feel sterile or overly clinical. At Kineo, we create a safe, welcoming, and ceremonial space that honors both the science of ketamine and the wisdom of ancient traditions that have used psychedelic medicines for centuries to foster holistic well-being. Our approach blends modern psychotherapy with a deep respect for the ritual and sacredness of inner healing work.

BODY: Rewiring the Nervous System

Ketamine works at the biological level by modulating the glutamate neurotransmitter system, essential for learning, memory, and mood. Research shows that ketamine can:

  • Stimulate neuroplasticity, enhancing the brain’s ability to form new neural connections.
  • Reset the nervous system, interrupting cycles of chronic stress and trauma.
  • Reduce neuroinflammation, which is increasingly seen as a key player in mental health challenges.

“Ketamine stimulates neural plasticity by boosting BDNF expression via mTOR activation, facilitating new network connectivity.” (MDPI: Journal of Clinical Medicine)

MIND: Expanding Awareness and Psychological Flexibility

Ketamine’s unique dissociative effects allow you to temporarily step outside your habitual thought patterns, making it easier to:

  • Shift rigid beliefs and narratives.
  • Increase openness and psychological flexibility, a key ingredient in lasting change.
  • Access deeper insights and emotional clarity that can be hard to reach in ordinary consciousness.

“Ketamine reduces emotional defensiveness and increases openness, allowing patients to confront experiences that would normally be distressing.” (Zeam Health)

SOUL: Honoring the Sacred

We believe true healing goes beyond symptom relief. Ketamine journeys often bring a sense of meaning, connection, and wholeness that touches the deepest parts of who we are. At Kineo, we hold space for:

  • Ceremonial intention, helping you set and honor your deepest healing goals.
  • Experiences of self-transcendence, reconnecting you to purpose and inner wisdom.
  • Integration of insights, weaving your experiences back into daily life with support and care.

“The combination of ketamine and psychotherapy may enhance emotional and behavioral engagement, providing fertile ground for personal growth and healing that extends beyond symptom relief.” (Frontiers in Psychology)
