Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in PA and CO.
Because insight is not always enough. Sometimes healing requires accessing the deeper patterns, emotions, and beliefs that keep you stuck.
Have you done the work but still feel stuck and broken?
When talk therapy, medications, or even other trauma therapies like EMDR aren’t enough, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy offers a new path forward. By combining the transformative effects of ketamine with the safety and support of psychotherapy, this approach can help you access deeper emotional healing, reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and reconnect with parts of yourself that have been out of reach. At your own pace, your own way.
We’ve partnered with Journey Clinical, a specialized medical team that works alongside licensed psychotherapists. Their physicians conduct all medical assessments and prescribe ketamine, ensuring each client’s safety and suitability for treatment. Our therapists at Revive focus on the emotional and psychological process (preparation, therapeutic support, and post-session integration) so that every experience is grounded, intentional, and effective.
What the H*ll is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)is a transformative approach to mental health care that combines the fast-acting benefits of ketamine with the depth and support of psychotherapy. This integrative method helps promote emotional healing, relief, and lasting change.
Ketamine has been shown in recent years to rapidly reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other forms of psychological distress, especially when other treatments haven’t been effective. What makes ketamine different is the way it works in the brain: rather than targeting serotonin (like most antidepressants), ketamine affects the glutamate system, which helps create new neural pathways and enhance emotional flexibility. This process — sometimes called neuroplasticity — can open a window for deep therapeutic work.
We use different therapeutic modalities such as IFS, Somatic Experiencing, or EMDR along side with KAP to create change. EMDR already rewires your brain, KAP can help it rewire more quickly, efficiently, and effectively. In a ketamine session, clients may experience a temporary shift in consciousness that helps them view their emotions, memories, or thought patterns from a new perspective. When combined with skilled therapeutic support, this can lead to profound insights, emotional release, and meaningful shifts in how one relates to themselves and their past.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Ketamine Treatment In Philadelphia and Colorado
Starting Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy can feel exciting, hopeful, and sometimes a little intimidating. Here is what you can expect throughout the treatment process, from your initial consultation to your dosing and integration sessions.
Here’s what you can expect:
-
The process begins with a medical evaluation through Journey Clinical. Their licensed clinicians review your physical and mental health history to ensure ketamine is a safe and appropriate option for you. If approved, they handle all prescriptions and collaborate closely with your Revive therapist throughout the process. You will receive your Ketamine prescription through the mail.
From there, you’ll work with Hannah or Salima for a series of preparation and integration sessions.
-
In this session we go over all of the little details of what to expect, how to prepare for the day of dosing session, what a dosing session looks like, and setting your intentions. Preparation sessions help you build trust and feel grounded before the dosing experience.
-
Each dosing session begins with a check in and intention setting with your therapist. Once you take your prescribed ketamine, you will relax in a safe and supportive environment while the medicine helps you access deeper emotions, insights, and patterns that may be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone.
Your therapist remains present throughout the experience and helps you process what comes up afterward. Most people complete 6 to 8 dosing sessions, with each session building on the last to support meaningful and lasting change.
-
An integration session usually takes place a few days after your dosing session—ideally within two weeks—so you can process and make sense of what came up during your journey.
During this session, your therapist will help you explore and integrate your experiences in a way that’s personalized to your needs. This may include techniques from EMDR, IFS, or other therapeutic approaches, depending on what will best support your healing.
The goal is to turn insights and emotions from your dosing session into meaningful growth, helping you bring lasting change into your daily life. Every integration session is tailored to you, ensuring the process supports your unique journey toward emotional balance and well-being.

FAQ’s
-
Ketamine Therapy is a rapidly growing and research-backed approach that helps many people find relief when other treatments haven’t worked. It goes beyond symptom management by creating a unique opportunity for emotional healing, clarity, and transformation — especially when combined with psychotherapy.
Unlike many medications that simply mask symptoms, ketamine helps create conditions for deep, sustainable change. It increases glutamate — a key neurotransmitter linked to learning, memory, and growth — and enhances neuroplasticity, allowing your brain to “reset” long-standing emotional and behavioral patterns. Clients often describe feeling more connected to themselves, more compassionate toward their past, and more capable of making meaningful shifts in their lives.
