So you’re feeling ready to start ketamine-assisted therapy but you're worried about the cost?
​
Then you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to the Courageous You “Self-Guided” Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy program, which all takes place from the comfort of your own home, making KAP more accessible than ever.
Courageous You is founded by me, Sarah Wolfer, LICSW, and Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapist and I am happy to help guide you along this next step of your healing journey.
"Self-Guided" Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

Courageous You is based in Seattle Washington (serving WA, ID, and FL) and is led by me, Sarah Wolfer; a licensed clinical psychotherapist and certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist with specialized training and lived experience around working with relationships of all types, queer and/or non-monogamous folx, and neurodivergent humans. My life’s work is to provide safe and supportive spaces for queer, non-monogamous, and neurodivergent humans to explore their inner world and find the healing they need to live a fulfilling life. Courageous You is dedicated to realizing this mission by providing trauma-informed psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for those who are part of these communities.
What is "Self-Guided" Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?

Here's How It Works
Step 1 - Initial Screenings with Courageous You and Journey Clinical
The first step is scheduling a FREE consultation to see if you would be a good fit for ketamine-assisted therapy and to get to know each other a bit better. After that call, if we decide to move forward with KAP, then I will refer you to Journey Clinical to complete a medical screening ($250) to determine eligibility for KAP. If you are NOT eligible, Journey Clinical reimburses you their cost for the screening. If you ARE eligible, then we will move forward with KAP treatment starting with the next steps.
Step 2 - You Receive your Welcome Kit
Make sure we have your accurate address where you will be doing the sessions, so we can mail your welcome kit to you that will include a blood pressure monitor, eye masks, journals, and a few other goodies to help you along your journey. Your ketamine prescription for the first two dosing sessions will also be delivered ($88 for first 2 sessions). I have also prepared a step by step guidebook to help you feel as prepared as possible for the journey ahead.
Step 3 - Preparation
We will then schedule 2-4+ preparation sessions to help you feel as ready as possible for the healing journey ahead. These non-medicine sessions are 50-75 minutes in length and are $165 or $245 per session depending on the length. The number of sessions varies based on need and availability. We will also walk through the step-by-step guidebook I prepared for you and make sure you are feeling ready for your first dosing session. I am currently paneled with Regence, First Choice Health, United, Optum, and Kaiser in WA state and not currently paneled with any insurance plans in ID or FL at this time. Preparation and Integration sessions can generally be covered by insurance if it is one of the plans mentioned above.
Step 4 - Dosing
Dosing sessions are generally 2.5-3 hours long and take place from the comfort of your own home. Though I will not be present physically, I will check in with you before and after your pre-scheduled dosing session to get your vitals information and ensure you are ready to go. You will need to have an adult chaperone available at your home for the duration of the session in the event you need assistance to get to the bathroom, someone to keep distractions away, and/or if any emergencies arise. We will go over more of what your dosing sessions will look like as well as chaperone expectations in greater depth during our preparation sessions together. Self-guided dosing sessions are $100/ session and generally happen every 1-4 weeks based on need and availability. Some clients opt to have 1-2 therapist-led dosing sessions to start with, to feel ready for self-guided sessions. This is optional, and you can start with self-guided dosing sessions straight away if you like. Therapist led dosing sessions are $495 and I will be there virtually with you for the entire experience. Neither self-led or therapist-led dosing sessions are covered by insurance at this time.
Step 5 - Integration
Per Journey Clinical, within 72 hours of every dosing session we will have a scheduled integration session where we will discuss your dosing experience and develop plans to move those insights into your daily life. We will process together in a variety of ways based on what you most need in each session. Integration sessions are 50-75 minutes in length and are $165 or $245 per session depending on the length of session. I am currently paneled with Regence, First Choice Health, United, Optum, and Kaiser in WA state and not currently paneled with any insurance plans in ID or FL at this time. Preparation and Integration sessions can generally be covered by insurance if it is one of the plans mentioned above.
Step 6 - Follow-Up Session with Journey Clinical
After you have had your first two dosing sessions, you will meet with Journey Clinical for your follow-up medical appointment ($150) to discuss your treatment plan, renew your ketamine prescription ($148) for the next 6 doses, and prepare for the next phase of KAP treatment.
Step 7 - The KAP Journey Continues
We will then continue the previous steps of dosing sessions followed by integration sessions for those 6 additional ketamine doses. Most clients experience the greatest benefit from KAP treatment after a minimum of 6-8 dosing sessions. After your KAP treatment has ended, we will touch base on your therapeutic needs and come up with a plan for moving forward. You can also decide to move from self-guided to therapist-led sessions (and vice versa) at anytime based on preference.

I am currently in network in WA state with Regence, First Choice Health, United, Optum, and Kaiser in WA state and not currently paneled with any insurances in ID or FL. As an out-of-network provider, I can provide you with superbills that often lead to partial reimbursement. I also accept HSA cards and have limited sliding scale spots based on need and availability.
