Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

A Collaborative Model of Care

Liberation-Based Therapy offers Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through a collaborative partnership between Tatille Jackson, MFT-LP, and Dr. Maurice Hinson, MD.

KAP combines psychotherapy with physician-guided ketamine treatment to support healing from depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD and other conditions when clinically appropriate. Our approach is intentionally collaborative: your therapist guides the psychological aspects of treatment while your physician oversees the medical aspects, helping ensure safe, coordinated, and individualized care.

Therapy and Medicine, Working Together

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy combines two distinct areas of care.


Psychotherapy

Our therapist provides assessment, preparation, therapeutic support during dosing sessions, integration, and ongoing treatment planning.

&



Medical Care

Our physician evaluates medical eligibility, prescribes ketamine when clinically appropriate, reviews medications and health history, and provides medical oversight throughout treatment.

The therapist and physician collaborate as one coordinated care team.

Your KAP Treatment Team

KAP at Liberation-Based Therapy is built around collaboration between psychotherapy and medical care.

THE TREATMENT PROCESS

How the KAP Program Works

KAP is a structured process that includes preparation, medical evaluation, therapist-supported dosing sessions, and integration.


Clinical Assessment & Preparation

01

Treatment begins with an assessment to determine whether Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is an appropriate option for your goals and clinical needs.

Preparation Includes

  • Comprehensive clinical assessment

  • Individualized treatment planning

  • Three psychotherapy preparation sessions

  • At lease one preparation session conducted in person

  • Education about the KAP process

  • Safety planning

  • Coordination of care with Dr. Maurice Hinson

Preparation is an essential part of treatment and helps establish the therapeutic foundation before ketamine is introduced.


Medical Evaluation

02

Before ketamine can be prescribed, every client completes a medical evaluation with Dr. Maurice Hinson.

The Medical Evaluation Includes

  • Review of medical and psychiatric history

  • Medication review

  • Determination of medical eligibility

  • Discussion of potential benefits, risks, and side effects

  • Prescription of ketamine when clinically appropriate

  • Ongoing medical monitoring throughout treatment.
