KAP Pricing & Packages
Transparent, itemized pricing for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Two treatment pathways, flexible packages, and a commitment to making transformative care accessible.
Two Treatment Pathways
I offer two distinct approaches to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Both include the same comprehensive therapeutic support,preparation, continuous guidance during the journey, and integration. The difference is in how the ketamine is administered.
Sublingual KAP
Ketamine lozenge in my therapeutic office
The sublingual (lozenge) method is the most common approach for KAP. You take a prescribed ketamine lozenge in a comfortable, private setting in my office while I provide continuous therapeutic support throughout the entire 3-hour journey.
IV Ketamine + Therapy
IV administration in a medical office with my therapeutic support
For those who prefer or clinically benefit from intravenous administration, I partner with a medical professional who provides IV ketamine in his office. I am present throughout the 2-hour session to provide continuous psychotherapeutic support, bringing trauma-informed IFS, mindfulness, resourcing, and imagery rescripting to the IV setting.

What’s Included in Every Session

Specialized Training
Certified in KAP and licensed as a trauma therapist specializing in IFS, mindfulness, resourcing, imagery rescripting, and EMDR,with years of experience working with veterans, first responders, survivors of sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse, and domestic violence.
Up to 3 Hours of Dedicated Care
Sublingual dosing sessions involve approximately 3 hours, and IV sessions approximately 2 hours, of one-on-one therapeutic presence,far more than a standard therapy hour.
Preparation & Integration
Every journey includes preparation beforehand and integration afterward,the sessions where lasting change is anchored into your life.
Safety & Monitoring
Continuous therapeutic monitoring throughout the entire experience, ensuring your physical and emotional safety at every moment.
Multi-Modal Approach
IFS, mindfulness, resourcing, and imagery rescripting are woven into the dosing experience, while EMDR is integrated into integration sessions,not just sitting with you, but actively guiding therapeutic work at every stage.

What Makes Our Pricing Different
Many providers in the Portland area charge separately for each component of the KAP process,intake, preparation, the dosing session, and integration,which can make the true cost difficult to predict. At Life Solutions Counseling, we list every fee upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Our 6-session packages include all intake, preparation, dosing, and integration sessions,something most competitors charge separately for, often adding $1,000 or more to the total cost of a 6-session protocol.
Why This Investment Matters
Not Just Medicine,Therapy
Ketamine alone produces temporary relief. Ketamine with psychotherapy produces lasting transformation. Studies show the effect size of psychedelic-assisted therapy more than doubles when psychotherapy is included.
Hours, Not Minutes
Sublingual dosing sessions involve approximately 3 hours and IV sessions approximately 2 hours of one-on-one therapeutic presence. Unlike IV clinics that simply monitor vitals for 40 minutes, I provide continuous psychotherapy throughout the entire experience.
Integration Is Everything
The 24–72 hour window after ketamine is when your brain is most receptive to change. Integration sessions during this window are what turn a powerful experience into lasting healing,and they are always included.
Multiple Certifications at Work
You are not just paying for someone to sit with you. You are receiving care from a Licensed Professional Counselor certified in KAP and specializing in IFS, mindfulness, resourcing, imagery rescripting, and EMDR,with years of experience helping veterans, first responders, and survivors of trauma including PTSD, complex PTSD, and debilitating phobias such as fear of flying.
Compared to Years of Therapy
Many clients experience breakthroughs in 6 KAP sessions that would take years in traditional talk therapy. At $250 per weekly session, a year of traditional therapy costs over $10,000,often with slower results.
Your Safety Is Priceless
Proper screening, medical coordination, continuous monitoring, and trauma-informed care ensure that your experience is not only effective but safe. Cutting corners on safety is never an option.
Medical Provider & Medication
Ketamine Prescribing & Medical Coordination
For sublingual KAP: I will refer you to a trusted medical provider who can evaluate you and prescribe the ketamine, or you can obtain it through your own provider. I will coordinate care directly with them to ensure a seamless and safe experience. Sublingual ketamine medication typically costs $50–$100 through a compounding pharmacy for enough doses to complete 4–6 sessions. This cost is separate from the therapy fees listed above.
For IV KAP: I partner with a medical professional who provides IV ketamine administration in his office. His fee of $465 per session includes the medical intake, IV setup, monitoring, and ketamine medication. This fee is included in the itemized breakdown above and is paid directly to his office.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. While 6 sessions are recommended based on clinical research for the best and most lasting results, sessions can always be purchased individually. The 6-session package simply offers a 10% discount for those who choose to commit to the full evidence-based protocol.
Both pathways include the same comprehensive therapeutic support from me. Sublingual (lozenge) is the most common approach for KAP and offers a gentle, gradual onset that is ideal for deep therapeutic work. IV ketamine allows for more precise dosing control and may be recommended for treatment-resistant conditions. We will discuss which option is best for you during your free screening.
Yes. Safety is my top priority. Before any commitment is made, you will receive a complimentary screening to determine whether KAP is safe and appropriate for you. Certain medical and mental health conditions may disqualify someone from ketamine treatment, and it is essential that these are identified upfront,at no cost to you.
Ketamine dosing sessions are generally not covered by insurance. However, the intake, preparation, and integration sessions may be billable to insurance depending on your plan. I currently accept AETNA insurance, and I can provide a detailed superbill for other insurers. Mental health services also qualify as medical expenses and may be paid using Health Savings Accounts (HSA).
If the free screening determines that KAP is not appropriate for you, there is no charge and no obligation. I also offer individual counseling using EMDR, IFS, mindfulness, and other trauma-informed approaches that may be a better fit. We will work together to find the right path for your healing.
Clients are required to provide a credit card on file. Other payment methods can be used at the time of the session if preferred. HSA and FSA funds are accepted. A $100 fee applies for sessions not canceled at least 24 hours in advance.
