Education can orient you. It cannot assess your fit.
- Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) uses ketamine in an off-label capacity. While ketamine is FDA-approved as an anesthetic, its use in psychotherapy is considered experimental and is not FDA-approved for psychiatric indications.
- All participants undergo a clinical screening process to determine appropriateness for ketamine-assisted work. Screening includes medical and psychiatric evaluation.
- LuminaThera does not provide emergency or crisis services. If you are in crisis, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room.
- Therapeutic outcomes vary by individual. KAP is not a cure and does not guarantee specific results. Many participants report meaningful benefit, but individual experiences differ.
- We provide psychotherapy and integration support. We do not source, supply, or refer for illegal substances.
- We do not offer take-home, self-guided ketamine. Experiential sessions are supported and monitored onsite.
