The Psychotherapeutic Ketamine Trainings for Clinicians course is a 4-day intensive designed to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills needed to implement ketamine-assisted psychotherapy into their practices safely. Tailored for a range of clinicians, including nurses, psychiatric nurse practitioners, therapists, and psychiatrists, the course covers key topics such as ketamine dosing, therapeutic approaches, and contraindications.
It also delves into the nuances of mindset and setting, emphasizing the importance of intention, ceremony, and therapeutic ecology in psychotherapeutic ketamine sessions. The course is enriched by up-to-date research on ketamine’s neurophysiological mechanisms and psychotherapeutic applications, offering participants a well-rounded understanding of this emerging field.
Beyond the clinical aspects, the course provides ongoing support through individual and group consulting services. These services are customized to meet the specific needs of each clinician and include options for virtual or telephone supervision and consultation post-training. This ensures that clinicians gain initial competence and have the resources for continued professional development in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
