Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy at Cottonwood Family Medicine
Awaken Your Healing Journey with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
“The soul always knows how to heal itself; the challenge is to silence the mind.”
– Caroline Myss
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?
KAP is a unique journey that blends the medicine of ketamine—a safe, and evidence based treatment—with compassionate psychotherapy to foster deep healing. Rather than viewing the altered state of consciousness as a side effect, we see it as the heart of the experience, guiding you to connect with your inner healing intelligence. This spiritual and emotional process can rapidly ease symptoms of trauma, depression, or anxiety, often within hours to days, while extended psychotherapy nurtures lasting transformation.
Our Focus
We specialize in supporting individuals with trauma, offering a safe space to process and heal. While trauma is our primary focus, we warmly welcome anyone seeking to address:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Depression or treatment-resistant depression
Anxiety disorders
Negative thought patterns affecting mental health
Our therapist’s expertise in trauma creates a tailored, client-centered experience for diverse needs.
Why Choose KAP at Cottonwood Family Medicine?
Holistic and Comprehensive Care
Unlike other KAP providers in Boise, we prioritize trust and preparation to honor the importance of your journey. Our process requires at least three one-hour preparation sessions to build rapport, set intentions, and ensure you feel safe. Ketamine is a medicine that amplifies the courage and vulnerability of therapy, guiding you toward spiritual and emotional breakthroughs.
Private and Safe Administration
We use nasal spray with oxytocin and sublingual troches, allowing you to self-administer ketamine under medical supervision. This ensures a private, introspective experience, with a doctor on-site but not in the room, giving you space to connect with your inner healing intelligence. A therapist is present throughout to guide your journey.
Inclusive and Spiritual Approach
Our therapist welcomes any adult client seeking healing from trauma, depression, or anxiety, regardless of where they live, as long as they can attend in-person sessions at our Garden City clinic. We embrace KAP as a spiritual experience, fostering transformation through the altered state of consciousness, tailored to your unique journey.
