What Is Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?

At Ketamind Health in Markham, Ontario, treatment doesn’t end with the psychedelic treatment experience. It begins there. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy combines IV psychedelic infusion with psychotherapy to support deep lasting healing. It’s an evidence-based approach used to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and trauma. This helps you process, reflect, and grow from your psychedelic experience. IV psychedelic therapy can create a unique mental and emotional space.

IV psychedelic therapy can create a unique mental and emotional space. It may quiet internal chatter, soften defenses, and allow long-held thoughts or feelings to rise to the surface. What emerges is often powerful: memories, emotions, realizations, or new perspectives. Yet, insight alone doesn’t create change. What matters is how you make sense of what surfaced during your psychedelic-assisted therapy session, as well as how you carry those insights into your everyday life. With the support of our trained therapists, you’ll be guided through the process of exploring your experience, recognizing emotional patterns, and identifying meaningful next steps.

Our Approach to Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy

At Ketamind Health, we specialize in IV psychedelic infusions delivered in a medically supervised setting. Our therapists typically work with you afterward to guide and integrate your experience. This approach, which is sometimes called “adjunctive KAP”, focuses on structured preparation and integration therapy that supports your IV psychedelic treatment journey from start to finish. It allows you to fully engage with the experience in the moment and reflect on it later with professional support.

Preparation for IV Psychedelic Treatment

  • Your journey begins with thoughtful preparation. Before your first infusion, we help you establish the right mindset and set therapeutic goals. Preparing for psychedelic-assisted therapy may include:
  • Clarifying intentions for your treatment journey
  • Understanding what to expect physically, mentally, and emotionally
  • Learning how to navigate the experience with openness and curiosity
  • Creating a supportive internal environment to help the therapy unfold more effectively
  • This preparation brings clarity to your experience and makes the integration that follows more meaningful.

Why Integration Matters?​

  • The period after IV psychedelic treatment offers a unique window for reflection and growth. In this more open state, it can feel easier to explore parts of yourself that were previously difficult to access. Our psychedelic integration sessions offer a supportive space to:
  • Understand and process your experience
  • Connect insights to your daily life
  • Build tools that support long-term mental wellness
  • We’re here to support you—not just during treatment, but in everything that comes after.

What Happens During Integration Sessions?

  • Integration therapy is where insights take root. Each session is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. Our registered therapists guide you through:
  • Debriefing the Experience: You’ll have space to talk about what you felt, saw, or realized. Whether it was uplifting, confusing, or somewhere in between, we provide a safe environment for reflection.
  • Applying Insight to Life: We help you identify themes, patterns, or internal conflicts, and connect them to your current challenges or goals. This is how insight becomes growth.
  • Long-Term Planning: We support you in developing practical tools to continue your progress—whether that means emotional regulation, clearer communication, or more intentional decision-making. Every integration plan reflects your personal needs and values.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is psychedelic-assisted therapy the same as regular psychotherapy?

Not quite. Traditional talk therapy focuses on gradually exploring thoughts, emotions, and life history. Integration therapy, by contrast, helps you process and apply experiences from non-ordinary states of consciousness, such as those brought on by IV psychedelic infusions. It’s less about uncovering, and more about making sense of what’s already come up.

How many integration therapy sessions do I need?

Most patients benefit from four to seven sessions during their initial treatment series. Additional sessions may help, depending on your goals and how your experience unfolds.

Do I have to see your therapists?

We strongly recommend it. Our therapists are trained specifically in IV psychedelic integration and understand the nuances of psychedelic therapy. They work closely with our medical team to support your progress and make any needed adjustments. If you already have a therapist, we’re happy to collaborate to ensure your care remains cohesive.

What happens if I feel overwhelmed after a session?

That’s exactly why integration is important. Our team is here to help you process whatever arises, whether it’s intensity, confusion, or deep emotion. You don’t have to carry it alone.
