Safety is one of the most important parts of the GroupKAP process.

Before participating, individuals complete a screening and consultation process to determine whether ketamine assisted psychotherapy is an appropriate fit. Sessions take place in a structured, professionally supported environment with preparation and integration built into the experience.

Our Asheville ketamine therapy program emphasizes:

• trauma informed care

• emotional safety

• preparation support

• guided integration

• community connection

Many participants find the group setting helps reduce isolation while creating a greater sense of support throughout the healing process.

Our program utilizes sublingual ketamine, which is administered in a carefully structured therapeutic setting as part of the GroupKAP process.

Participants receive preparation and guidance throughout the experience, with professional support available before, during, and after sessions. The focus of ketamine assisted psychotherapy is not only the medicine itself, but the therapeutic framework surrounding the experience.

Integration support helps participants process and apply insights that emerge during ketamine assisted psychotherapy sessions.

The experience itself is only one part of the healing process. Lasting change often develops afterward through reflection, therapy, nervous system regulation, journaling, relationship repair, and ongoing support.

Our psychedelic integration support in Asheville helps participants:

• process emotional experiences

• better understand recurring patterns

• reconnect with themselves and others

• create meaningful behavioral change

• build healthier coping strategies

Integration is woven throughout the GroupKAP process rather than treated as a separate step.

Healing often happens more effectively in connection with others.

Group ketamine therapy creates a supportive environment where participants can feel less isolated while moving through a shared healing process together. Many individuals find that the group setting helps normalize emotional experiences and creates a deeper sense of safety, accountability, and connection.

Our Asheville GroupKAP program combines ketamine assisted psychotherapy with community support, trauma informed care, and guided integration throughout the process.

GroupKAP may be supportive for individuals who feel stuck in patterns that traditional approaches have not fully resolved.

Many participants are:

• emotionally exhausted

• navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief

• highly self aware but still struggling

• disconnected from themselves or others

• seeking deeper healing work

• looking for a more supported therapeutic experience

Not everyone is an appropriate fit for ketamine assisted psychotherapy, which is why the screening and consultation process is an important part of care.

Each GroupKAP cohort typically includes 5 to 9 participants. This intentionally small group size helps create a supportive, connected environment while still allowing for individualized attention, emotional safety, and meaningful group process work throughout the experience.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals better understand and relate to different parts of themselves with greater compassion and awareness.

Many people experience inner conflict between protective patterns, emotional wounds, fears, and deeper needs. IFS helps create a more connected and supportive relationship with these internal experiences.

IFS informed work may be incorporated into the GroupKAP process as part of preparation, integration, and ongoing therapeutic support.

No previous psychedelic experience is required.

Many participants entering GroupKAP are completely new to ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Preparation sessions are designed to help individuals feel informed, supported, and emotionally prepared before participating in the process.

Questions, uncertainty, and nervousness are normal parts of beginning this work.

After a ketamine session, participants move into the integration portion of the process where experiences, emotions, and insights can be explored in a supportive therapeutic environment.

This stage often includes reflection, discussion, nervous system support, journaling, and continued therapeutic guidance. Integration helps participants translate experiences into meaningful and sustainable changes over time.

If you are interested in participating in an upcoming Asheville GroupKAP cohort, the first step is scheduling a consultation or completing the application process.

This initial conversation helps determine whether GroupKAP is an appropriate fit and provides space to ask questions about safety, preparation, structure, and expectations.

Many individuals seek ketamine assisted psychotherapy support for experiences related to depression, anxiety, emotional burnout, trauma, grief, or disconnection. Each person’s experience is different, which is why consultation and assessment are important parts of determining whether GroupKAP may be an appropriate fit.
