Frequently Asked Questions
Which Therapeutic Services are Offered at OHMHC?
Practitioners at OHMHC offer a range of therapeutic treatments and services—including Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
What is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
KAP integrates traditional psychotherapy in conjunction with prescribed doses of the anesthetic ketamine. Ketamine is a safe, legal, and effective medication that is used to treat a plethora of mental health diagnoses—including treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD. Practitioners at OHMHC partner with the specialized medical team at Journey Clinical to determine KAP eligibility, prescribe ketamine lozenges, and support practitioners in monitoring long-term outcomes for clients.
What are the Benefits of KAP?
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) provides powerful relief to clients who have struggled for years with treatment resistant mental health diagnoses. Ketamine is a uniquely safe and effective medication with relatively few side effects that does not require any drastic change in lifestyle.
When will the Effects be Felt?
Unlike with many SSRIs and other antidepressants, the effects of Ketamine will be felt within hours and last for several weeks.
Is KAP Affordable?
At OHMHC, we strive to ensure that KAP sessions are accessible to all qualified clients regardless of their financial status. KAP at OHMHC is already offered at a comparatively lower cost due to prescribing and providing ketamine lozenges rather than infusions—a preferred medication modality that is both low-cost and non-invasive. Additionally, KAP at OHMHC is available on a sliding fee scale to help us in achieving our mission of offering KAP to all and serving a wide and diverse population of clients in the Hudson Valley, Kingston, Ulster, and Duchess area.
​
What is the Overall Associated Cost of KAP?
In order to be considered for KAP, you must be medically cleared by a provider at Journey Clinical. The initial medical exam is $340, and follow-up appointments are $150. The cost for ketamine lozenges can vary in price and is dependent on your dosing and the amount of medication prescribed. The initial medical exam now includes the cost of medication. KAP sessions at OHMHC are $125 per hour.
Is KAP Covered by Insurance?
Some insurances may cover the necessary medical exams. If your insurance is not accepted by my partnering company, you may request a superbill
and submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Why Should I Choose OHMHC for KAP?
Unlike online counseling platforms such as Mindbloom or large, impersonal group practices that offer KAP, OHMHC offers a personal connection with a trusted therapist in a local private practice operating out of the Hudson Valley. Your KAP therapist will be involved with and participate in all aspects of your care in an open and safe environment. The intimate and familiar nature of OHMHC allows you to build a relationship with your practitioner both in and outside of KAP therapy, develop interpersonal connections, and receive holistic care.
