HealingMaps Take: Psychedelic Growth is ideal for Boulder-area patients who want the therapeutic relationship to be front and center in their ketamine experience. The structured protocol—at least three prep sessions before any medicine work and integration sessions afterward—ensures patients are psychologically ready and can process what emerges. At $495 for a three-hour ketamine session, pricing is transparent and competitive for a KAP model. The single-operator format means you’re working with the same therapist throughout, building the continuity and trust that are essential for deep psychedelic work. Payment plans through Advance Care Credit help with affordability.
Market Position: Psychedelic Growth treats both depression and PTSD — the two most common ketamine therapy indications, accounting for 34% of HealingMaps patient inquiries.

This 3-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Psychedelic Growth treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Yes — Psychedelic Growth offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.
Psychedelic Growth treats depression via KAP for trauma-anchored depression. Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Yes — Psychedelic Growth treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
