KAP Intake and Treatment Planning Documentation Toolkit
Help clients begin KAP treatment with a thoughtful clinical assessment, clear treatment goals, and a documented plan for safety, collaboration, and continuity of care.
The intake and treatment-planning phase is more than determining whether a client is interested in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. It is where therapists assess symptoms and functional impairment, explore treatment history and readiness, clarify the therapeutic and medical roles within KAP, identify risk and support needs, establish informed participation, and create a treatment plan that connects KAP to meaningful clinical goals.
The KAP Intake & Treatment Planning Toolkit gives therapists a practical, trauma-informed, and clinically grounded framework for documenting the beginning of the KAP treatment arc.
Created for therapists who want their intake and treatment-plan documentation to reflect real clinical decision-making, not just generic assessment language. This toolkit helps you document diagnosis, symptoms, functional impairment, treatment history, risk considerations, psychological readiness, prescriber coordination, client goals, measurable objectives, and the rationale for KAP-informed psychotherapy.
