KAP Therapy is a cutting-edge mental health treatment that combines the rapid-acting properties of ketamine with the guidance of psychotherapy. KAP is especially effective for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and other conditions that haven’t fully responded to traditional therapy. By integrating ketamine’s unique effects with talk therapy, clients can gain new perspectives, process difficult emotions, and create lasting change.

  • Phases of KAP Therapy at Heart and Mind Healing

    KAP Therapy in Denver involves two key phases: standard talk therapy sessions and extended dosing sessions.

    1. Standard Talk Therapy Sessions

    Our standard KAP sessions are 50 minutes (45 minutes of focused therapy plus a 5-minute transition). In these sessions, we discuss your experiences from recent dosing sessions and develop practical strategies to support your healing journey. These shorter sessions help you process insights and integrate them into daily life.

    2. KAP Dosing Sessions

    Dosing sessions last approximately 2.5 hours. During the dosing phase, you’ll receive a ketamine lozenge, which you hold in your mouth for about 10 minutes. You’ll then enter an inward journey while typically wearing an eye mask and listening to calming, lyric-free music.

    • The first hour focuses on your internal experience.

    • Afterward, we spend about an hour together discussing your thoughts, feelings, and any insights that arise during the session.

    • The final 30 minutes allow you to relax with the eye mask and music, giving the medication time to wear off before you safely leave the office with a dedicated driver.

    Our KAP therapy in Denver is designed for safety, comfort, and deep personal growth combining the benefits of ketamine with expert therapeutic support.

  • We are a private-pay practice, which ensures your complete privacy and allows us to focus entirely on your care without insurance limitations. You will receive a super bill every month which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement if they have a system in place for it.

  • Heart and Mind Healing provides KAP therapy to clients in Denver, Washington Park, Cap Hill, Greenwood Village, Central Park, Hilltop, Country Club, Southmoor Park, Highlands/LoHi, LoDo, RiNo, Hampden South, and surrounding areas.

With a long history of use as symbols in spiritual and cultural traditions, totems are now being explored in therapy as a powerful tool for emotional healing. Totems can function as symbolic anchors that may help people negotiate complex feelings more clearly within compartmentalization, a procedure in which individuals separate all kinds of conflicting emotions into other 'compartments' of the mind. Certain totems will be associated with an emotional state, such as using a lion for anger or a bird for freedom, which helps the client to externalize his inner struggle and is more easily processed and comprehended. It can allow for a more structured way to confront and integrate emotions for overall mental well-being.

Grief is such an intensely personal journey: overwhelmingly so; it's unpredictable. Sometimes, it feels like a tidal wave, and at other times, like a gentle ache. Allow yourself to do it all; there is no right way to grieve. Do not be afraid to ask for help, to take care of yourself, and to find every small comfort possible. Healing takes time; it is all right to look for help when the burden feels too heavy to bear alone. Remember, your path through grief is as individual as your love for the one you have lost.
