Understanding the Treatment
What Is Ketamine Assisted Therapy?
Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAT) pairs the medicine ketamine, administered and monitored by a medical provider, with the skilled guidance of a licensed psychotherapist. At Sound Psychedelic, we offer licensed, guided ketamine therapy for trauma, PTSD, treatment resistant depression, anxiety, and grief, with a therapist and medical provider supporting you at every step.
Ketamine Assisted Therapy is more than a medicine appointment. Each ketamine session is held inside a caring therapeutic relationship: a thorough medical and mental health screening before you begin, intentional preparation, a supported medicine experience, and integration therapy afterward. Because of the neuroplastic effect of ketamine, the days and weeks following a session can be a meaningful window for new insight, and our integration work helps you carry those insights into everyday life.
Whether you choose in-clinic sessions, our at-home ketamine therapy program, or our 10-week KAT Group, your care is personalized, evidence-based, and grounded in compassion.
Who Ketamine Assisted Therapy Can Support
- Trauma and PTSD
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Grief and loss
To determine if Ketamine Assisted Therapy is a good fit for you, every client first meets with both our clinical director and our medical director for a careful evaluation.

01
Step 1: Connect
To determine if Ketamine Assisted Therapy is a good fit for you, we'll first have you meet with each of our directors for a mental health and medical evaluation.
02

Together, we identify your hopes, goals, and intention for your Ketamine sessions, and gently explore any hesitation you may have.
03
Step 3: Experience
Your physician and therapist will be present to support you during your Ketamine session in our clinic, or you can journey at home with our guided program.
04
Step 4: Integrate
Integration is often the most important part of the psychedelic experience. We help you make meaning of your session and carry its lessons into daily life.
A Closer Look at Each Step
Step 1: Connect - Your Ketamine Assisted Therapy evaluation
To determine if Ketamine Assisted Therapy is a good fit for you, we'll first have you meet with each of our directors. These evaluation sessions will help determine if KAT is a healthy option for you.
First, our clinical director will complete a diagnostic assessment and review your current and past mental health history. Second, our medical director will complete a brief exam as well as review your current physical conditions, medications, and any previous health records.
Step 2: Prepare - Setting your intention
Your therapist will connect with you to create a safe and nurturing relationship and learn about your intentions for your medicine session.
Together, we identify your hopes, goals, and understanding for your ketamine session, and also process any hesitation you may have about the psychedelic experience itself.
Step 3: Experience - In-clinic or at-home ketamine sessions
In-Clinic
Your physician and therapist will support you during the administration of the medicine, which is done by intramuscular injection (IM) or sublingual lozenge. We will be by your side during the experience.
The treatments take place in a specially curated room to facilitate your journey and typically last 1.5-2 hours.
Your therapist will debrief with you at the end of your journey and a final physical exam will be conducted before being discharged home.
At Home
Experience the healing power of ketamine therapy in the comfort of your own home.
We offer you personalized psychedelic treatment through a Ketamine prescription that includes health coaching, integration sessions, and progress tracking.
Sublingual ketamine therapy is an effective way to treat symptoms in your own time, in your own space, and with support. Our innovative and convenient at-home ketamine therapy program allows you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and mental wellness without leaving your sanctuary.
Step 4: Integrate - Turning insight into lasting change
Your therapist will help you process your medicine session and glean new perspectives from your experience. Due to the neuroplastic effect of ketamine, we want to capitalize on new insights and ideas that occurred in the session and lay the groundwork for you to instill these changes into your daily life.
Integration is often the most important part of the psychedelic experience because it allows you to make meaning of the experience and carry the lessons into your life. We will also collaborate next steps with you to encourage continued healing.
