At Kilauea Ketamine Clinic, patients are encouraged to optimally invest in their experience with ketamine through work with a licensed counselor or psychotherapist familiar with transpersonal therapy and familiar with the psychotherapeutic effects of ketamine in particular. The psychotherapist counselors we refer to have specific training in the use of ketamine to achieve psychological insight and transpersonal healing.
