Offerings
KAP for Individuals at Asheville Integrative Psychiatry's Campus
At Asheville Integrative Psychiatry's secluded 16 acre campus, located about 25 minutes from Downtown Asheville, we conduct our KAP sessions with clients in the beautiful embrace of nature. We offer both our signature Healing Journey protocol over the course of 2-6 weeks, or our single session Inner Journey protocol.
Group KAP at Asheville Integrative Psychiatry's Campus
Our group ketamine sessions are open to clients who have previously completed one or more courses of KAP treatment at our practice or to members of the healing community who would like to experience the benefits of ketamine. Group sessions are offered periodically and typically include 5 - 10 participants. These group psychedelic experiences can serve as powerful reminders of our shared humanity and offer a unique and enduring form of support.
KAP across North Carolina through AIP's Therapist Provider Network
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is also offered through the Watershed Healing Collective, a network of therapists accross the state of North Carolina who have completed training in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy and have trained in AIP's model of KAP. If a therapist in our network is located closer to you or you're looking for a therapist that better matches your own background, this is a great alternative to receiving KAP on AIP's campus.
