Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) offers clients intensive psychotherapy in combination with subanesthetic dosing of ketamine via intramuscular injection. This medicine has proven efficacy in the treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders as well as chronic pain conditions. These visits require an initial medical and psychiatric consultation to assess suitability and goals of treatment. Individual KAP sessions are 3 hours in duration, allowing time for preparation, psychotherapy, and intention-setting/ceremony prior to administration of the medication followed by integration. Dr. Gillean works with clients individually and in collaboration with several other trained and seasoned KAP therapists in his Oakland office.

Intensive KAP
More intensive treatment with ketamine is available, generally in collaboration with a second psychotherapist over the course of several days.
