An overview designed for licensed clinicians: the evidence base for KAP, clinical protocols, training pathways, ethical considerations, and referral guidelines.

Reading time
3 minutes

Referral Considerations

Clinicians considering referral should evaluate stability, supports, medication considerations, current therapy goals, and the client's capacity for preparation and integration. Coordination of care can be helpful when the client consents.

Ethical Frame

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy should be grounded in informed consent, scope of practice, medical screening, clear documentation, and careful boundary management. Group formats require additional attention to confidentiality and participation expectations.

Training and Consultation

LuminaThera supports clinician education through consultation, referral conversations, and future training offerings. Clinicians can use the apply pathway for professional inquiries.

Clinical note: This resource is educational and is not a substitute for individualized medical or psychotherapy guidance. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy requires clinical screening, informed consent, and onsite support.

Orientation, not an assessment

This resource offers general education and does not replace individualized medical or mental health advice. A consultation and clinical screening are how we assess whether a service is appropriate for you.

In crisis, call 911 or call or text 988. LuminaThera is not a crisis service.
