What Happens During a Group Ketamine Therapy Session?
Ketamine therapy sessions at New York Integrative Psychiatry in Manhattan typically last 2 to 2.5 hours, allowing time to connect with your therapist, review intentions, and prepare thoughtfully for the experience.
The dosing portion takes place in a calm, supportive environment and may include music, eye shades, and a weighted blanket. Whether participating in individual or group ketamine therapy in NYC, your therapist remains present throughout the session to ensure safety and support.
The experiential effects of ketamine generally last 45–75 minutes. Sessions vary and may include altered perception, emotional openness, expanded insight, or dream-like imagery. Following the experience, time is set aside to reflect, share observations, and begin the integration process—an essential component of meaningful therapeutic change.
