Integration means making sense of insights or emotions that surface during or after a psychedelic or altered-state experience. It’s not about the medicine itself — it’s about the meaning and healing that come afterward. Sessions focus on grounding, reflection, and applying what you’ve learned in your daily life.

KAP combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine with talk therapy in a safe, structured setting. Clients are guided through preparation, the medicine experience (with medical oversight), and integration. It can help reduce depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms while deepening self-connection.
