Who Is a Candidate for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?

For many individuals struggling with mental health challenges, traditional therapy or medications may not provide the relief they need. That’s where Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) comes in—an innovative treatment offered at New Horizons Therapy NY that combines the therapeutic use of ketamine with guided psychotherapy to help patients access new perspectives and foster emotional healing.

But how do you know if KAP is right for you? Understanding who can benefit is an important first step toward exploring this transformative therapy.

Understanding KAP Eligibility

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is particularly effective for individuals who:

• Struggle with Treatment-Resistant Depression – Patients who haven’t responded to multiple medications or traditional therapy often experience relief through KAP.

• Experience Anxiety or PTSD – KAP can help patients process trauma, reduce hyperarousal, and gain emotional clarity.

• Face Chronic Stress or Negative Thought Patterns – Those feeling stuck in cycles of worry, rumination, or emotional blocks may benefit from the insights KAP offers.

• Seek Innovative Mental Health Solutions – KAP is ideal for patients open to exploring evidence-based, alternative approaches alongside traditional therapy.

Who Should Approach KAP With Caution

While KAP is safe and effective for many, it may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions, history of psychosis, or uncontrolled hypertension should discuss eligibility with a licensed therapist or medical provider to ensure safety. At New Horizons Therapy NY, our team carefully screens each candidate to determine whether KAP is an appropriate and beneficial option.

• Navigate the ketamine experience safely
