Trauma-Informed Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Practitioner Training

As ketamine-assisted psychotherapy continues to enter mainstream mental health care, the need for training that is grounded, ethical, and trauma-informed is essential. This training was created for clinicians who want more than technical instruction and are seeking a deeper, more integrated way to work with expanded states of awareness.

This program combines clinical education, experiential learning, and sustained consultation to prepare mental health professionals to offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with integrity, presence, and care. The emphasis is not only on how to deliver KAP, but on how to hold this work responsibly across diverse populations and clinical contexts.

What Makes This Training Different

This training was developed in response to a growing gap in practitioner education. Many clinicians enter KAP training with strong intentions but limited guidance on trauma-informed application, integration, and ethical complexity.

At the core of this program is The PATH Approach™, which centers preparation, pacing, and integration as essential clinical skills. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, the training supports discernment, nervous system awareness, and embodied presence.

Key elements of the training include

  • Trauma-informed care woven through every stage
  • Strong emphasis on integration before and after dosing
  • Ethical and harm-reduction-focused clinical application
  • Guidance for working with complex and marginalized populations
  • Support for translating learning into real-world practice

This training is designed to support depth, not speed, and competence, not performance.

Training Structure

The training is structured to support learning over time, allowing concepts to be integrated gradually into both clinical practice and personal understanding.

The program includes

  • Virtual learning sessions covering KAP foundations, ethics, harm reduction, trauma-informed practices, and integration
  • A four-day in-person experiential retreat with IM and lozenge KAP sessions, foundational sitting skills, neuroscience, and peer learning
  • Twenty hours of small-group consultation over five months to support implementation, case discussion, and clinical integration

Advanced modules will be offered following completion of the core training, including topics such as addiction, group work, couples and family work, polyvagal theory, and nervous system-informed care.
