This presentation offers seasoned mental health clinicians evidence-based insights into the practice of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). We will cover best practices, address common concerns, and underscore the value of integrating this effective therapeutic modality to benefit a wider range of clients.

CEU Event Objectives:

• Describe the current psychedelic-assisted therapy landscape and explain ketamine’s role as an FDA-approved medication being used in emerging therapeutic models, including KAP.

• Define Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and identify the biological and psychological mechanisms through which ketamine may support neuroplasticity, emotional processing, and therapeutic insight.

• Differentiate between common routes of ketamine administration — including sublingual, intramuscular, intravenous, and intranasal/esketamine — and discuss how each may relate to clinical treatment settings.

• Identify appropriate candidates, contraindications, and safety considerations for KAP, including psychological readiness, medical screening, substance use concerns, and risk mitigation strategies.
