The Catalyst Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
When things feel heavy or unmoving, this focused ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) offering opens space for shift. The Catalyst meets stuck places with care and momentum. Available via telehealth for clients in Washington, Idaho, and Florida.
​The Catalyst is a focused, shorter-format Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy program for when you’re stuck in a specific groove. That might look like a depressive low, looping anxiety, or a relational block that insight alone hasn’t shifted. Ketamine is a legal, safe treatment that when combined with skilled support can create space for relief and new possibilities. Sometimes, even a small shift can make a meaningful difference.
Sometimes we don’t need a year to turn things around, just a powerful moment of support.
It is a concentrated dose of change.
Ketamine works by helping the brain form new connections and restore balance to the systems that regulate mood and energy. This process, known as neuroplasticity, supports healing in ways that can create lasting change. Even in a shorter-format program, this kind of shift can open new pathways forward.
The Catalyst may be a good fit if you are experiencing:
-
The Plateau: You’ve done the work and have insight, but something still feels stuck. You’re ready for movement not more circling.
-
The Life Pivot: You’re navigating a breakup, transition, or turning point. You want support that helps your body and mind meet what’s next with more ease.
-
The Adjunct: You’re already working with a therapist you trust and want to stay with. You’re looking for a somatic and biological boost to deepen that ongoing work.
​
This approach isn’t about starting over it’s about creating the conditions for something new to take root.
Turbo-Boost Your Current Therapy
Supercharging Your Healing Ecosystem
Whether you're deep in therapy, navigating life transitions, or working through relational stuck points, The Catalyst is designed to enhance what’s already in motion. This short-format KAP program can act as a powerful accelerator helping you deepen insight, soften stuck patterns, and create meaningful momentum across the systems that support your growth.

What Makes Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Unique
Many people turn to ketamine after trying other treatments that haven’t brought enough relief. What makes this therapy unique is how quickly it works, how it supports the brain in healing, and how it can help even when other approaches haven’t.
Works in a New Way
Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine acts on different brain receptors, helping reset how your brain communicates and opening space for healing.
​
Fast Relief
Most antidepressants can take weeks to work. Ketamine often begins to ease symptoms within hours to days, offering hope more quickly.
​
Support for Suicidal Thoughts
Ketamine has been shown to reduce suicidal thinking rapidly, creating safety and space for healing when it’s needed most.
​
Helps When Other Treatments Haven’t
For people who haven’t felt enough change with therapy or medications, ketamine offers another path forward; one that can bring real relief.
​
High Response Rate
Research shows that 70-80% of people experience meaningful improvements with ketamine, even if other treatments didn’t help.
Why Therapy Matters in Ketamine-Assisted Healing
Ketamine opens a powerful window for change, but therapy is what makes those changes last. Through therapy, you’ll have support to:
​
-
Feel safe and grounded before, during, and after treatment
-
Work with what comes up, instead of feeling lost or alone in the experience
-
Use the “neuroplastic window” to practice new patterns that can truly take root
-
Carry insights into daily life so healing extends far beyond the session
What Happens in the Catalyst Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Program?
Once you’ve completed your medical screening with Journey Clinical and are approved, you’ll receive your ketamine prescription in the mail. At the same time, I’ll send you a Courageous You Welcome Kit with thoughtful tools, like a blood pressure monitor, ginger mints, headphones, and eye shades to help you feel supported from the very start.
From there, The Catalyst follows a thoughtfully paced flow crafted to hold you with safety, invite depth, and support meaningful, lasting shift.
-
Intake – We start by getting to know your story, your history, identities, relationships, and how your body carries stress, so we can shape a process that truly supports you.
​
-
Preparation – Throughout 4 sessions, we practice grounding tools, clarify boundaries, and work through the Courageous You KAP Workbook to build a strong foundation of safety and readiness.
​
-
Intentions & Environment – Together we clarify your hopes and co-create the setting; whether music, comfort items, or rituals, that will help you feel steady and supported.
​
-
Medicine Journey – During your two 3 hour dosing sessions, you’ll take sublingual ketamine and settle into an inward-focused state with my guidance and presence throughout.
​
-
Processing & Anchoring – While in the medicine space, emotions or sensations may arise. You’re invited to notice and release them. Toward the end, we highlight meaningful insights and connect them to new ways of being.
​
-
Closure – Each session ends with grounding and orienting so you leave feeling safe and steady.
​
-
Integration – After each dosing session, we meet within 24–72 hours to begin weaving your experiences into daily life. These integration sessions help turn insight into ongoing support and meaningful momentum.
What It Feels Like
Many people describe ketamine sessions as entering a dreamlike or meditative state. Physically, your body often feels heavier, softer, and deeply relaxed. Some people notice their breathing slowing, muscles unclenching, or a gentle warmth spreading through the body. Others describe a sense of floating, as if being carried or held.
​
Alongside the physical shifts, the mind may open in new ways. You might:
​
-
Experience colors, sounds, or sensations that feel richer or softer
-
Notice memories resurfacing with more clarity or compassion
-
Feel waves of calm moving through the body
-
Rest in a state of quiet stillness where the mind finally eases
-
Sense a deepened connection to yourself, others, or something larger
​
Every journey is unique. Some sessions bring reflection and insight, while others offer a soothing spaciousness. What matters most is that you’ll be supported the whole time with grounding practices, an attuned presence, and a safe container to explore whatever arises in both body and mind.
The Catalyst Isn't the Only Path...
If you’re feeling the pull to go deeper or you already know you need more time and spaciousness, our Comprehensive KAP Therapy program might be a better fit.
This 6–10 month container offers ongoing support, 8 dosing sessions, and space to explore trauma, attachment, and long-held patterns with care and consistency.
Partnering with Journey Clinical for Your Care
As a Journey Clinical KAP Provider, I partner with their specialized medical team to ensure your care is safe, thorough, and well-supported. Journey Clinical handles the medical side of treatment reviewing your health history, determining eligibility, prescribing ketamine lozenges, and monitoring outcomes while I guide you through the therapeutic process.
​
In this program, we use sublingual ketamine lozenges. These are small tablets you hold in your mouth, swish for about 12 minutes, and then spit out. This method is gentle, safe, and effective for at-home treatment.
