In person in NYC/Brooklyn • Teletherapy across New York State, Massachusetts and Colorado
What Ketamine Assisted Couple Therapy Is
Couples KAP brings both partners into the medicine session together, using ketamine to create a shared window of openness that makes it possible to access deeper emotional honesty, soften entrenched defenses and experience each other in new ways. This is not individual KAP done twice in the same room; it is a distinct relational approach requiring its own training and preparation. For individual work, see Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.
Anyone concerned with:
Painful cycles that persist despite years of couples therapy
Emotional shutdown, disconnection or chronic conflict that hasn’t budged
Recovering from a rupture like infidelity, betrayal or a loss of trust
Relational trauma or attachment wounds that keep getting triggered between partners
Sexual disconnection or intimacy that has felt out of reach
CNM, polyamorous or multi-partner relationships looking for deeply attuned relational healing
Who It’s For
Consultation (10–15 min): In a brief call, we confirm fit and licensure, clarify shared goals and review scheduling and logistics.
Intake (Session 1): We assess fit together and discuss whether both partners are genuinely ready and medically eligible, coordinated with evaluation through Journey Clinical for each partner.
Early Work: Preparation sessions to clarify shared intentions and build the safety and trust this work requires.
Core Work: Medicine sessions with both partners dosing together in my office, guided and supported throughout.
Integration: We process what arose together and anchor shifts into your day-to-day relational life.

Methods I Draw From
-
That’s worth exploring carefully in preparation sessions. Both partners need to feel genuinely willing and ready before proceeding.
-
Yes. I welcome all relationship structures. For configurations beyond a dyad, we would discuss how to structure sessions safely and equitably.
-
Individual KAP focuses on one person’s internal healing. Couples KAP is designed specifically for the relational space, with both partners present.
-
No. Preparation and integration sessions are billed at my standard couples therapy rate. Journey Clinical bills separately for each partner’s medical evaluation and medication.
