When – November 03 | 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm ET
This 3-hour continuing education course is designed for clinicians in medical, psychiatric, and behavioral health settings who want to better understand the different types of ketamine treatment and how they may support client care.

Participants will explore how ketamine treatment may fit into a broader treatment plan for clients struggling with a range of mental health diagnoses.
This course will also highlight the importance of collaboration between medical providers and psychotherapists.

What is the event/workshop about?
Practicum Component:
In this Practicum component, you will be paired with fellow training participants for collaborative sessions outside of the six virtual training sessions. Together, you will work through each step of the Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) process, including intake, preparation, medicine sessions, integration, and discharge, assuming both the roles of “client” and “therapist.”
This partnership allows you to engage deeply in each phase, exploring and discussing the experience from both perspectives (client/therapist).
Experiential Component:
Throughout the workshop, you will have the opportunity to participate in two medicine sessions as the “client,” where you’ll experience the therapeutic journey firsthand. Additionally, you will guide two medicine sessions as the “therapist,” supporting your matched partner through their experience. This dual-role approach enriches your understanding of the process and enhances your confidence in facilitating KAP with your future clients.
What specific skills or knowledge will participants gain through the experiential practicum?
How does this hands-on experience differ from the theoretical knowledge covered in the 6-week training?
Are there particular therapeutic techniques, exercises, or frameworks that will be practiced during the sessions?
Is the experiential practicum required for completing the 6-week KAP training?
Testimonials:
“The experiential practicum was a game-changer for me. While the 6-week KAP training provided an incredible foundation, the practicum allowed me to apply what I learned in real-time, which boosted my confidence immensely. Having the chance to engage with the medicine firsthand gave me a unique insight into what my clients will experience, helping me feel truly prepared to hold space for them. I walked away with a solid understanding of both the therapeutic process and the practical aspects of KAP, and I’m now confident to bring this transformative therapy into my practice.”
— Dr. Sam Martin, LCSW
“Participating in the experiential practicum as a team was invaluable. It allowed us to set up our clinic’s physical space exactly as it would be for KAP sessions, which gave our therapists the hands-on experience they needed to feel comfortable and confident. We were able to work together, discussing therapeutic techniques and preparing our environment to support clients. This practical, immersive experience enabled our entire practice to transition seamlessly into offering KAP services. The practicum truly bridged the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application, making our onboarding process smooth and cohesive.”
