The Complete KAP Documentation Toolkit for Therapists

Help clients move through the full ketamine-assisted psychotherapy process with thoughtful clinical assessment, clear treatment goals, strong preparation, safer medicine-session support, meaningful integration, and a well-planned transition out of care.
 
The Complete KAP Documentation Toolkit is a comprehensive, trauma-informed resource for therapists documenting the entire KAP treatment arc, from the first intake conversation through discharge and aftercare planning.
 
KAP documentation is more than recording that a client is interested in ketamine, attended a dosing session, or discussed their experience afterward. Strong documentation tells the clinical story of why KAP-informed psychotherapy is being provided, what symptoms and functional impairments are being addressed, how treatment is connected to meaningful goals, what interventions the therapist used, how the client responded, how safety was assessed, and what happens next.
 
Created for therapists who want their KAP documentation to reflect real clinical decision-making, not generic notes, vague “processed session” language, or copied-forward templates. This toolkit provides practical, structured, and clinically grounded support for documenting assessment, treatment planning, preparation, dosing-day psychotherapy, integration, discharge, and continuity of care.

Clinical-language examples that support continuity of care without overstating outcomes, imposing meaning, or exceeding therapist scope
 
This toolkit is designed to help clinicians create documentation that reflects the complete clinical reality of KAP: KAP is not simply a medicine session. It is a coordinated therapeutic process involving assessment, planning, preparation, skilled presence, safety, integration, reassessment, and a thoughtful transition into ongoing life and care.
 
The templates help therapists document what matters across the full arc:
Why KAP-informed psychotherapy is clinically indicated
What the client is struggling with and how it affects functioning
What goals guide treatment
How the therapist and prescriber roles remain distinct
What safety, risk, readiness, and support factors are present
What interventions were actually used
How the client responded
How progress is being assessed
When to continue, pause, coordinate, refer, or discharge
How the client will maintain support after formal KAP treatment concludes
 
Best for: KAP therapists, therapists collaborating with ketamine prescribers, clinicians providing preparation and integration support, virtual KAP clinicians, group-practice KAP providers, couples KAP therapists, clinical supervisors, group facilitators, therapists building KAP referral relationships, and clinicians developing a thoughtful, ethically grounded KAP practice.
