Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Transformative support for deep healing and expanded awareness.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an emerging, research-backed approach that combines the therapeutic benefits of ketamine with talk therapy in a safe, structured environment. Jess Walls is proud to be the first—and currently only—licensed mental health therapist in Longmont, Colorado certified to offer ketamine-assisted therapy as an integrated part of her clinical practice.
What Is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?
KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy) involves the guided use of low-dose ketamine to support emotional processing, interrupt negative thought loops, and promote new neural connections. Ketamine is legally prescribed by a licensed medical provider, and sessions are carefully planned and supported before, during, and after dosing to ensure safety and maximize therapeutic benefits.

Why It Works
Studies from institutions like Johns Hopkins and Yale have shown ketamine to be effective in treating depression, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress—especially when combined with psychotherapy. The dissociative state ketamine induces can help clients view their experiences with more compassion and less fear, allowing them to access insight and healing that may feel blocked in traditional talk therapy.
Jess’s Approach to KAP
Jess believes that ketamine, when used responsibly and ethically, can help clients access new perspectives and build resilience. With specialized training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy through PRATI (Psychedelic Research and Training Institute), Jess offers an evidence-informed, trauma-sensitive approach. KAP sessions are always rooted in trust, safety, and your own internal wisdom.
Jess works closely with prescribing medical providers and facilitates both preparatory and integration sessions so that the therapeutic benefits continue long after the medicine wears off.
Is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Right for You?
KAP is currently offered to adult clients only and may be helpful for those who feel stuck or have not responded to traditional approaches. It is not a first-line treatment and requires thoughtful assessment and collaboration with your care team.
