CRS Approach to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

At CRS, we take a collaborative and intentional approach to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). While ketamine itself can provide antidepressant and anti-anxiety benefits, we believe that the most meaningful, long-lasting change comes from pairing it with intentional, evidence-based therapy.

We can break down our approach into three different main points: psycholytic therapy, client-centered focus, and therapeutic benefits.

Psycholytic Therapy: Gentle, Grounded, and Supportive

Psycholytic Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy uses a low dose of ketamine alongside talk therapy to gently deepen emotional processing and access parts of the mind that can be harder to reach in traditional therapy.

Unlike higher-dose experiences that can feel more detached, this approach allows clients to stay present, communicative, and emotionally connected throughout the session. The focus isn’t on creating an overwhelming experience, but about deepening the therapy process in a way that feels safe and manageable.

For many people living with chronic mental health challenges or trauma, this approach to KAP can make the work more accessible and sustainable.

Client-Centered Focus: You’re an Active Part of the Process

From setting therapy goals to determining the pace of care, and even helping design the environment for dosing sessions, clients are encouraged to take an active role in shaping their treatment. 

We want each session to feel personalized and intentional, meeting you where you are and supporting you in moving toward where you want to be.

Therapeutic Benefits: Where Real Change Happens

KAP can open windows to new perspectives and help to make sense of what comes up and turn those insights into lasting growth.

Our clinicians take a mindful, trauma-informed approach to integration, helping you reflect on your experience, process emotions, and carry what you’ve learned into everyday life.

At CRS, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy isn’t just about the medicine. It’s about connection, collaboration, and meaningful healing to support you in creating real, sustainable change.
