New Clients Only
The following additional fees apply to new clients before starting ketamine sessions. A thorough mental health intake and preparation session are essential to build a strong therapeutic connection, understand your goals and expectations, and prepare you to get the most out of your dosing sessions.
- Mental Health Intake Session (55 min) – $250
- Preparation Session (55 min) – $250
- If choosing the Sublingual option below: doctor’s visit for a health check and sublingual medication prescription.

What’s Included in Every KAP Session
Specialized Training
The clinical team has specialized training across KAP, IFS, mindfulness, resourcing, imagery rescripting, and EMDR.
Up to 3 Hours of Care
Sublingual KAP sessions last approximately three hours; IV KAP sessions include approximately two hours of one-to-one therapeutic support.
Preparation & Integration
A licensed mental health provider establishes a baseline at the start of the KAP treatment series and reviews progress in a follow-up assessment at the end. Preparation takes place before dosing. For IV KAP, the two-hour therapeutic session serves as the integration session, not an additional appointment.
Safety & Monitoring
Therapeutic support is provided throughout dosing, with attention to physical comfort and emotional safety. IV infusions also include vital-sign checks and medical monitoring.
Multi-Modal Approach
IFS, mindfulness, and imagery rescripting may be used during dosing; EMDR is incorporated into integration sessions.
Payments & Policies
Session Payments
Clients are required to provide a credit card on file that will be charged after each session. Other payment methods can be used at the time of the session if preferred.
Cancellation Courtesy
We reserve your appointment time exclusively for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours notice to avoid being charged the missed session fee. A $100 fee will apply if a session is not canceled at least 24 hours in advance. Clients who cancel more than three sessions in a row without prior arrangements may lose their spot.
Insurance
We currently accept only AETNA insurance. Clients who wish to use other insurance can request a detailed bill (Superbill) to submit for potential reimbursement. Clients are responsible for full payment at the time of service and can download or print the invoice from the client portal. Mental health services qualify as medical expenses and may be paid using Health Savings Accounts (HSA).
Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships are available for low-income clients, including some specifically for survivors of domestic violence and abuse. There is a waiting list for these scholarships. If you are interested, we will add you to the list and notify you when a slot opens. Scholarships are income-based and require completion of paperwork to determine eligibility.

Six-week program
Six-Week Intensive Trauma Therapy
A structured, time-limited course of trauma-focused outpatient care
The Six-Week Intensive Trauma Therapy Program offers adults a focused period for trauma treatment. It is designed to support continuity of care and concentrated therapeutic work over six weeks.
This is outpatient treatment, not crisis care, inpatient treatment, or an intensive outpatient program (IOP). The program does not guarantee that trauma or related symptoms will resolve within six weeks.
Program investment
Approximate program total: $8,600
Three-installment payment plans are available. The final amount may vary slightly based on the individual treatment plan.
Clinical context
The VA National Center for PTSD describes growing research on brief, or “massed,” delivery of evidence-based PTSD therapies. EMDR, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and prolonged exposure (PE) have often been provided over 8 to 18 weekly sessions, although shorter schedules have also been studied. The VA notes that shorter formats may support engagement and reduce dropout.
Some intensive programs delivered over several days or two weeks have reported reductions in PTSD symptoms and high completion rates. Those programs use treatment models that differ from this one, so their outcomes should not be assumed to apply to the Life Solutions Counseling program.

Program fit and structure
This format may be appropriate for adults who, in consultation with their clinician, are prepared to commit to six weeks of focused treatment. It is not intended for people who require inpatient or intensive outpatient care. Six weeks is a defined period for treatment, not a deadline for recovery.
The program combines IV ketamine infusions with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), psychoeducation, and skills development. Treatment modalities include EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Ongoing support and continuity
- One to three family or couples sessions may be available as needed during the six-week period
- A plan for weekly ongoing therapy after the program, if needed
