​

Learn to responsibly and effectively integrate ketamine-assisted psychotherapy

into your clinical practice through a comprehensive training that combines

research, practical application, ethical considerations, & business development.

​

Designed for mental health professionals, this training goes beyond theory to

provide the knowledge, frameworks, forms, and implementation strategies

needed to begin offering ketamine-informed services with confidence.

​

Mastering Ketamine Assisted Therapy combines live online instruction, practical

clinical tools, case consultation, and optional experiential learning to support

both professional growth and clinical competence.  To foster meaningful

interaction, individualized attention, and consultation, each cohort is limited to

Experiential Weekend (optional but highly encouraged)

The experiential weekend is designed to bridge the gap between knowledge and application through direct experience, observation, and practice.

​

Participants will engage in:

• A faculty-facilitated group ketamine experience

• Guided integration and reflection

• Structured triad practice where participants rotate through the roles of client, therapist, and witness

• Clinical consultation and experiential learning exercises

 

Past participants consistently describe this weekend as one of the most impactful aspects of their training—providing deeper confidence, embodied understanding, and a richer appreciation for the client experience.

​

For many clinicians, this is where the concepts learned throughout the course become lived clinical wisdom.

Please note: Participation in the experiential weekend is optional and requires a separate medical assessment and prescription if participating in the ketamine experience.
