Sometimes the door you've been pushing against just needs a different key.
You've done the work. Maybe years of it. You're self-aware, you understand your patterns, you've read everything — and there's still something that won't move.
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy isn't a shortcut. It's a different kind of access. In low doses, ketamine is heart-opening. It softens the protective parts of us that are just doing their job — the ones that keep us guarded, defended, stuck — and creates a window where real therapeutic work can happen in a less threatening way.
For the right person, it can change everything.
What KAP actually is
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines low-dose ketamine with intentional therapeutic support before, during, and after the medicine experience. It's not a ketamine infusion clinic. It's not a wellness trend. It's a structured therapeutic process with a trained therapist who stays with you through all of it.
The ketamine creates an altered but gentle state — most people describe feeling relaxed, open, and less defended than usual. That state becomes the container for deeper therapeutic work: processing what's hard to reach in ordinary waking life, connecting to something larger than the loop of thoughts you've been stuck in, finding a new relationship to old pain.
The medicine session is only part of it. What happens before and after — the preparation, the integration — is where the real change takes root.
How we work
At Diagonal House, KAP is always embedded in an ongoing therapeutic relationship. We don't offer standalone ketamine sessions — we offer a full therapeutic process that includes ketamine as one powerful tool within it
Our training and approach
Michelle has completed specialized training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy through Novamind (formerly Cedar Psychiatry) and Polaris Insight Center — two of the leading training programs in the field. Her approach is relational and depth-oriented, grounded in the belief that the medicine is most powerful when held within a trusted therapeutic relationship.
KAP at Diagonal House is not a protocol. It's a collaboration.

— Medicine sessions can take place in our Draper office or at a partnering clinic, depending on what's right for you.
