Your Treatment: What to Expect
Laura is partnered with Dr. Sandhya Prashad, and together they work with patients to customize a treatment plan. Prior to scheduling a Ketamine Assisted Therapy session, prospective patients need to schedule an initial assessment with Laura as well as complete a medical evaluation and screening with Dr. Prashad.
During a Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy session, the medicine is administered via lozenge or Intramuscular Injection (IM) under the medical supervision of Dr. Prashad. This method differs from the Intravenous (IV) model (though the IV model can be appropriate and the right choice for some patients).
Initial therapy assessments are 60 minutes in length, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions are 3 hours in length.
Laura and Dr. Prashad recommend a commitment of at least 4 sessions, as the treatments can have a cumulative benefit.
Pricing
KAP therapy is billed at $200/hour, and insurance rarely covers the cost. However, Laura will provide you with a “Superbill” if you have “out-of-network” mental health benefits and would like to submit this to your insurance company for partial reimbursement.
The medical portion of the KAP experience is billed separately by Dr. Prashad’s office and will vary based on your individualized treatment plan. You will have the opportunity to discuss costs with Dr. Prashad at your medical screening/intake appointment.
