Coaching & Training for Professionals

​Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a nationally practiced modality that is just emerging in Iowa. 

 

It’s an effective, ethical, and legal treatment, yielding great success - and as a result, there is an increasing need for additional practitioners. 

 

​​

Getting started is the hardest part - so allow me to make it easier. 

​

As the first LMFT in Iowa to utilize KAP in private practice, I have created a framework for others to follow. I provide training, coaching, supervision, and case consultation.  

​

Once you’re up and running, KAP can be a compliment to your existing practice or a dedicated niche. 

​

Why am I teaching others how to do my job?

 

I wholeheartedly believe in the healing power of this treatment, and I’m passionate about increasing accessibility to this modality for the betterment of our community.

 

My experience is that it’s easier than you think to do this in a format that makes sense for your therapy practice.

 

It’s not competition; it’s building community.
