Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy
KAP: process and fees
If you’re considering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with me, this guide explains how we’ll work together and what each part costs. Sessions take place online. Your medical clinician assesses whether ketamine is appropriate and manages your prescription and dose.
Getting started
Intake assessment
60 minutes
We’ll discuss your history, current concerns, and goals. You’ll have time to ask questions and decide whether working together feels like a good fit.
Your medical assessment
You complete one of the following assessments, billed separately by your medical clinician.
Prescribing assessment
Approximately $250
A prescriber assesses whether ketamine is appropriate and prescribes it if suitable.
Extended psychiatric evaluation
Estimated $1,200–$1,500
If you want a more extensive assessment, you can see a collaborating psychiatrist instead. We’ll confirm availability and fees before you book.
Your therapy sessions
Preparation
60 minutes
We’ll discuss your intentions and walk through the medicine session, including a practical checklist for your home setup.
Online medicine session
Approximately 3 hours
I’ll be with you remotely throughout the session. Another adult must be present in your home and available if needed. Your medical clinician determines your dose.
Integration
60 minutes
A few days later, we’ll talk through your experience and how to bring useful insights into daily life.
These three therapy sessions total $2,300. The initial intake is a separate $420. Medical appointments and medication are billed separately.
Medical follow-up and medication
Around the middle of treatment, you’ll have a check-in with your psychiatrist or prescriber. The fee will be confirmed with your clinician before booking.
You purchase medication separately from the pharmacy. The estimate discussed is $40–$70, depending on the pharmacy. Your pharmacy will confirm the price and how many doses the prescription includes.
How often we meet
A possible course discussed in consultation is around eight medicine sessions over seven to eight months, with preparation and integration around each session. We’ll review the pace together as treatment progresses. Your plan depends on clinical assessment and your response.
