Clinical Consultation for Therapists

When your client is exploring ketamine treatment, you should not have to navigate it alone. Clinical consultation offers a grounded space to understand what KAP is, what it is not, and how to ethically support your client’s process alongside a prescribing provider.

This consultation space is designed for licensed therapists who:

• Have clients pursuing ketamine treatment through a medical clinic or prescribing provider

• Feel unsure how to conceptualize ketamine within an existing treatment plan

• Want to better understand preparation and integration without offering KAP themselves

• Are curious about the research, risks, and limitations of ketamine therapy in real-world practice.

• You do not need prior experience with psychedelic therapy. A basic curiosity and commitment to doing right by your clients is enough.

Supporting your clients through ketamine treatment

  • Our work is collaborative and tailored to your specific questions, scope of practice, and client context. Common areas of focus include:

    • Clarifying what ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is (and how it differs from stand‑alone infusions)

    • Understanding roles and boundaries between therapist, prescriber, and clinic

    • How to talk with clients about realistic benefits, risks, and limitations of ketamine treatment

    • Preparation support: helping clients clarify intentions, stabilize symptoms, and build internal and external resources before dosing.

    • Integration support: making sense of material that emerges during ketamine sessions and weaving it back into ongoing therapy.

    • Navigating when ketamine may not be appropriate or when additional care or referral is needed.

    You are welcome to bring de‑identified case material, consultation questions, and any concerns about how to stay aligned with your theoretical orientation while collaborating with a medical model

  • I come to this work as a trauma-informed therapist who integrates ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in collaboration with medical prescribers, not as a prescriber myself. My focus is on:

    • Clinically grounded education, rooted in current research and emerging best practices

    • Respect for your scope, style, and professional judgment

    • A nervous system–aware, relational lens that centers client safety and consent at every step.

    Clinical consultation is not supervision, evaluation, or medical advice. Instead, it is a collegial space to think deeply about your cases, sharpen your clinical reasoning, and feel more equipped to walk with clients who are engaging in ketamine treatment.

  • • Format: One-time or ongoing consultation, offered virtually

    • Length: 50‑minute or 75‑minute meetings, depending on your needs

    • Focus: Your questions, your clients, your practice context

    If you are curious whether this is a good fit, you are welcome to reach out with a brief description of what you are looking for, and we can discern next steps together.

  • Ketamine is a Schedule III controlled substance in the United States, which means it has recognized medical uses and is also tightly regulated because of its misuse potential. For therapists, this creates a complex landscape of legal and ethical questions, especially when clients are receiving ketamine through medical providers or telehealth platforms.

    In consultation, we can explore how to:

    • Stay within your scope of practice as a non-prescribing therapist while collaborating with medical teams

    • Clarify roles and responsibilities between you, the prescriber, and any ketamine clinic involved

    • Support informed, balanced conversations with clients about potential benefits, risks, and limitations of ketamine treatment

    • Maintain strong documentation, consent processes, and boundaries in line with your licensing board and professional ethics codes.

    Our work together does not provide legal advice or substitute for consultation with an attorney or your licensing board. Instead, it offers a space to think through the ethical dilemmas, gray areas, and real-world scenarios that arise when clients pursue ketamine treatment, so you can respond with greater clarity, integrity, and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. Many clients receive ketamine through medical clinics while continuing ongoing therapy with clinicians who are not KAP-trained. Consultation can help you understand where your existing skills already apply and where additional education or boundaries may be needed

  • Often, yes. Many prescribers and clinics welcome involvement from a client’s primary therapist, especially for preparation and integration work. In consultation, we can discuss how to collaborate within your scope while maintaining clear roles and communication.

  • No. Decisions about prescribing, dosing, and medical eligibility must remain with the licensed medical provider. Our focus is on helping you think through clinical fit, readiness, and ongoing support so you can participate ethically in the client’s broader care plan.

  • Item descriptionYes, from a clinical perspective. We can explore common gray areas related to scope of practice, documentation, consent, and boundaries; however, this is not legal advice and does not replace consultation with your licensing board, supervisor, or attorney.

  • Yes. You are encouraged to bring de-identified case examples, questions, and dilemmas so our time feels practical and immediately relevant to your work.
