Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy at Cottonwood Family Medicine

Awaken Your Healing Journey with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

At Cottonwood Family Medicine in Boise, ID, we offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), a transformative treatment that combines low-dose ketamine with guided psychotherapy to heal trauma and awaken your inner healing intelligence. Led by our dedicated therapist, with specialized training in trauma and KAP, our program invites you to embrace the spiritual and emotional depths of your experiences, addressing trauma, depression and anxiety. Our holistic approach honors the altered state of consciousness as a part of healing, welcoming all who seek profound change.

What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?

KAP is a unique journey that blends the medicine of ketamine-a safe, and evidence based
treatment-with compassionate psychotherapy to foster deep healing. Rather than viewing the
altered state of consciousness as a side effect, we see it as the heart of the experience, guiding
you to connect with your inner healing intelligence. This spiritual and emotional process can
rapidly ease symptoms of trauma, depression, or anxiety, often within hours to days, while
extended psychotherapy nurtures lasting transformation.

Our Focus

We specialize in supporting individuals with trauma, offering a safe space to process and heal.
While trauma is our primary focus, we warmly welcome anyone seeking to address:

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Depression or treatment-resistant depression
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Negative thought patterns affecting mental health

Our therapist's expertise in trauma creates a tailored, client-centered experience for diverse
needs.

Why Choose KAP at Cottonwood Family Medicine?

Holistic and Comprehensive Care

Unlike other KAP providers in Boise, we prioritize trust and preparation to honor the importance of your journey. Our process requires at least three one-hour preparation sessions to build rapport, set intentions, and ensure you feel safe. Ketamine is a medicine that amplifies the courage and vulnerability of therapy, guiding you toward spiritual and emotional breakthroughs.

Private and Sacred Administration

We use nasal spray with oxytocin and sublingual troches, allowing you to self-administer ketamine under medical supervision. This ensures a private, introspective experience, with a doctor on-site but not in the room, giving you space to connect with your inner healing intelligence. A therapist is present throughout to guide your journey.

Inclusive and Spiritual Approach

Our therapist welcomes any adult client seeking healing from trauma, depression, or anxiety, regardless of where they live, as long as they can attend in-person sessions at our Garden City clinic. We embrace KAP as a spiritual experience, fostering transformation through the altered state of consciousness, tailored to your unique journey.

The KAP Process

Our KAP program is designed for safety, reverence, and lasting transformation:

  1. Preparation (3+ Sessions)

    • At least three one-hour sessions ($200 each, covered by most insurances) to build trust, explore intentions, and prepare for the ketamine journey.
    • Available in-person at our Garden City clinic or via telehealth, with in-person preferred for deeper connection.
  2. Ketamine Sessions (2-3 Hours)

    • Conducted in a serene environment with eye masks and music to enhance introspection.
    • Sessions last 2 or 3 hours based on needs ($150/hour, self-pay).
    • Self-administered nasal spray or sublingual troches under medical oversight for privacy.
    • Your therapist guides you, honoring the altered state as a pathway to your inner healing intelligence.
  3. Integration (1+ Sessions)

    • One-hour sessions ($200 each, often insurance-covered) to weave insights into daily life.
    • Offered in-person or via telehealth, with in-person preferred for deeper engagement.

Most clients benefit from 3-6 ketamine sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart, with maintenance as needed.

Benefits of KAP

  • Spiritual Awakening: The ketamine experience opens pathways to your inner healing intelligence, helping you process trauma and rediscover resilience.

KAP may not be suitable for those with psychosis, schizophrenia, or certain medical conditions. A thorough evaluation ensures your safety.
