At New Horizons Therapy, we are committed to offering innovative and effective approaches to mental wellness—especially for those who have struggled to find relief through traditional methods. One such approach is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), a cutting-edge treatment that blends the therapeutic use of ketamine with guided psychotherapy sessions to support deep emotional healing and transformative growth.

Whether you’re navigating treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other persistent mental health challenges, KAP may offer a powerful path forward—delivered virtually and safely across New York State.

What Is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy combines low doses of ketamine—a dissociative anesthetic known for its fast-acting antidepressant effects—with structured psychotherapy. Ketamine induces a non-ordinary state of consciousness that can help clients temporarily disconnect from rigid thought patterns, emotional blocks, and trauma responses. In this state, clients are often able to explore their inner experiences with more openness, curiosity, and compassion.

Sessions are typically supported by a licensed therapist trained in KAP, ensuring a safe and therapeutic environment before, during, and after the experience.

Who Can Benefit from KAP?

KAP has shown promise in treating a variety of mental health conditions, particularly when other treatments haven’t provided adequate relief. You might benefit from Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in New York if you are experiencing:

Treatment-Resistant Depression

For those who haven’t responded to traditional antidepressants or talk therapy, KAP can offer rapid relief and new pathways for emotional processing.

Anxiety Disorders

KAP may reduce anxiety symptoms by helping clients shift out of fear-based thinking and build healthier coping mechanisms.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Through a guided, supportive process, KAP can help individuals safely revisit and reframe traumatic experiences, promoting emotional release and healing.

Other Mental Health Conditions

KAP is also being explored as a supportive treatment for chronic pain, addiction, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms—offering a new avenue of hope for those with complex needs.
