Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in Berkeley, CA & Online
Integrative. Somatic. Transformative.
Welcome to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy at Integral Insights
I’m Pujita Latchman, LMFT, founder of Integral Insights Counseling & Coaching in Berkeley, California.
I’m honored to offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with Journey Clinical, combining evidence-based medicine with trauma-informed, somatic, and mindfulness-based psychotherapy.
KAP helps clients access deeper emotional healing, nervous-system regulation, and self-compassion through an integrative process that blends modern neuroscience with depth-oriented therapy.
What Is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic approach in which low-dose ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to support breakthroughs, emotional release, and long-lasting transformation.
Through guided preparation, dosing, and integration, clients often experience:
Greater access to insight and meaning
Reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma
Increased neuroplasticity and resilience
A renewed sense of connection and peace
In this collaborative model, I facilitate the psychotherapy and integration process, while Journey Clinical’s medical team manages all medical and prescribing aspects, ensuring a safe and personalized treatment plan.

Why Clients Choose KAP
Many clients turn to KAP when traditional talk therapy has plateaued. The expanded-state experience allows you to access inner wisdom and release long-held emotional patterns in a safe, contained environment.
My approach draws on EMDR, Brainspotting, Hakomi Somatic Mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Expressive Arts therapy, creating a truly integrative experience for body, mind, and spirit.
KAP can be particularly supportive for those seeking:
Relief from depression, anxiety, or PTSD
Healing from developmental or relational trauma
Support in psychedelic integration and meaning-making
A bridge between psychological work and spiritual growth
What Is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a safe, legal, and effective medicine that’s been used in medical and mental-health settings for over 50 years.
It works by increasing neuroplasticity—helping your brain form new, healthier pathways for mood, stress regulation, and self-connection.
Benefits often include:
Rapid improvements in mood within hours
Lasting changes that support ongoing growth
Enhanced capacity for presence and insight
In collaboration with Journey Clinical, I use sublingual ketamine lozenges (dissolved under the tongue), which offer a gentle and well-tolerated route for therapeutic work.
What to Expect in a KAP Session
A typical KAP journey lasts 1–2 hours and takes place in person at my Berkeley office or virtually (for eligible clients).
You’ll recline comfortably, often with an eye mask and calming music.
The medicine induces a relaxed, dreamlike, or expansive state.
I remain present throughout to hold space, support safety, and guide integration.
After the medicine’s effects subside (approximately 45–60 minutes), we’ll spend time processing insights and somatic experiences. Many clients describe a profound sense of calm, compassion, and clarity that carries forward into daily life.
The KAP Process with Integral Insights & Journey Clinical
1. Initial Consultation (with Journey Clinical)
Meet virtually with a clinician from Journey Clinical for a medical evaluation, eligibility screening, and customized treatment plan.

We meet to set intentions, discuss safety and self-care practices, and prepare your mind and body for the experience.
3. KAP Dosing Session
You self-administer your ketamine lozenge (either in-office or remotely) while I guide and support you throughout the process.
4. Integration Sessions
Afterward, we explore memories, emotions, and insights through somatic, mindfulness, and parts-work techniques to deepen integration.
5. Follow-Up Care
Journey Clinical provides ongoing medical follow-ups, medication management, and outcome tracking to ensure your continued progress.
