KAP Assisted Psychotherapy
TO WHOM IS IT ADDRESSED?
KAP Assisted Psychotherapy is currently indicated for treatment-resistant depression. There is also emerging scientific evidence for other clinical indications in which it can be applied when simpler treatments have not worked, and in collaboration with your attending psychiatrist.
Our intervention follows international standards of KAP Assisted Psychotherapy.
KAP Assisted Psychotherapy uses a neuromodulator with psychedelic properties licensed for clinical use in Portugal, through off-label medical prescription. It has antidepressant effects, opens transforming states of consciousness and enhances learning and the creation of novel neuronal connections. These different effects are integrated into a brief and structured therapy.
