As ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) continues to be integrated into mainstream mental health care, the need for a trauma-informed program that teaches its clinical application is imperative. Due to this growing and unmet need, Inner Path Wellness has developed the first trauma-informed certificate training program that not only provides the fundamental knowledge necessary to practice KAP ethically, but also focuses on its utilization with specific populations, in tandem with other therapeutic modalities.
Taught by experts in these areas, our course work covers the use of KAP with marginalized populations (BIPOC & LGBTQIA+) and those struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders, as well as its integration with modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, and Creative & Expressive Modalities, such as Play and Art Therapy.
What Makes this Training Different?
We are the first trauma-informed KAP practitioner training.
We offer learn-at-your-own pace modular learning. The 3 modules of our certification program can be completed consecutively or over time. Practitioners who are unsure if they want to pursue the full certification can take module 1, which will provide an in depth overview of KAP.
The 3 Modules Include:
Module 1 - Virtual Learning
Module 2 - a 4-Day Experiential Immersive Retreat
Module 3 - 20 Hours of Case Consultation - exploring topics such as how to start using KAP in your practice, innovations in the application of KAP, case consultation, and more.We will explore the integration of complimentary modalities with KAP such as IFS, Somatic Therapies, and Creative and Expressive Modalities.
We believe integration is where most of the shifts happen. Our program has a strong focus on methods to work with clients to integrate their dosing sessions.
Our training is a 6-month immersive experience that includes all the components we wish we had learned in other KAP and psychedelic-assisted therapy trainings!

Module 3
20 Hours of Small Group Consultation
Our 20 hours of small group consultation is designed to help you integrate the learning from the first two modules into your practice and life following the immersive retreat.
It can be very challenging to transition from an intensive & supportive learning environment to your home work environment.
This module is designed to help bridge the gap and support you as you begin to add KAP to your practice.
We will meet 2X month to answer any questions and dive deeper into topics and explore the application of KAP.
This 5 months of consultation is meant to serve as the training wheels to get you up and running and feeling confident about offering this work.
This is a crucial part of the training process and the missing piece that all of us wished we had received in our previous KAP and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy trainings.
Topics explored will include: integrating KAP into your current practice, combining your current modalities and therapeutic orientation with KAP, working with marginalized and special populations, ethical and legal considerations, transference and countertransference, integrating music, case consultation and more!
