Preparation
Clarify your goals and intention, discuss expectations and concerns, plan your setting, review grounding tools, and prepare psychologically for the experience.
More than the medicine.
The work is in what you do with the experience.
Guided Prana provides the psychotherapy portion of KAP for eligible adults in Texas—preparation, supported dosing sessions, and integration—with an emphasis on intention, autonomy, safety, and lasting change.
Schedule an Initial IntakeTHE KAP JOURNEY
A thoughtful process before, during, and after the experience.
Dosing Support
Psychotherapy support during the ketamine experience, with space for inward attention, emotional processing, safety, and whatever unfolds without forcing an agenda.
Integration
Return to the experience while it is still fresh, identify meaningful themes, connect insight to daily life, and translate awareness into practical change.
Ongoing Work
KAP is not a single event. Therapy can continue between sessions so new perspectives are supported by real-world choices, relationships, habits, and boundaries.
SET & SETTING
Create a space that helps you turn inward.
The environment matters. During preparation, we consider the sensory and practical details that can support comfort, privacy, safety, and a more cohesive KAP experience.
Guided Prana is developing a curated KAP setup guide so clients can easily find useful items without piecing the experience together from scratch.
Light & Atmosphere
Soft lighting, warm lamps, galaxy or ambient projectors, candles or flameless options, and a visually calming room.
Sound & Immersion
Comfortable headphones, curated music and playlists, eye masks, and optional immersive tools when clinically appropriate.
Comfort
Blankets, pillows, supportive seating or a place to recline, temperature control, and clothing that feels easy and nonrestrictive.
Vitals & Safety
A reliable blood-pressure cuff and any other monitoring or safety items required by the prescribing medical provider.
Grounding
Water, a simple snack for afterward, meaningful objects, aromatherapy when appropriate, and tactile items that help the space feel familiar.
Integration Tools
A journal, art materials, voice notes, or other ways to capture impressions and revisit what emerged after the session.
KAP MEDICAL CARE
Your care. Your choice of prescriber.
Guided Prana provides the psychotherapy portion of KAP. Ketamine eligibility, prescribing, dosing instructions, and medical management are handled independently by your prescribing provider.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you begin.
How do I know whether KAP is appropriate for me?
An Initial Intake is the first step. We’ll discuss your history, goals, previous treatment, and readiness. Medical eligibility is determined separately by your prescribing clinician.
What form of ketamine is used?
Ketamine is prescribed and managed by an independent medical provider. Clients may work with Journey Clinical, Joyous, or their own prescribing clinician. The form and dosing plan depend on the prescriber.
Can KAP be provided remotely?
Yes, when clinically and medically appropriate. Remote sessions require an approved setting, adherence to the medical provider's safety requirements, and a responsible adult chaperone when required.
Is preparation really necessary?
Preparation is part of the psychotherapy process. It gives us time to establish intention, expectations, practical plans, grounding resources, and a setting that supports the experience rather than leaving those decisions until dosing day.
Why is integration important?
An altered-state experience may feel meaningful in the moment, but insight does not automatically become change. Integration helps you make sense of what emerged and connect it to your relationships, choices, habits, boundaries, and ongoing therapy.
Does insurance cover KAP?
Aetna and Curative are accepted for eligible psychotherapy services through Journey Clinical. Coverage does not depend on where ketamine is prescribed. Benefits and client responsibility vary by plan. Prescribing, medication, and medical fees are separate.
READY TO EXPLORE KAP?
Start with the psychotherapy intake.
You do not need to decide on KAP before we meet. The intake gives us space to understand what you are experiencing, what you hope to change, and whether this approach makes sense for you.
