Announcing Our Queer KAP Group: Community, Healing, and Belonging

We’re excited to share a new offering at The Catalyst Center—a Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (G-KAP) group specifically for LGBTQ+ individuals. This group was created with care and intention, grounded in the belief that healing happens more deeply when we feel seen, safe, and connected.

Why a KAP group for the queer community?

For many LGBTQ+ folx, the current social and political climate can feel heavy. We’re navigating uncertainty, increased stress, and, in some cases, painful reminders that our rights and identities are still up for debate. These realities can take a real toll—emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

At The Catalyst Center, we are committed to creating spaces where people feel a genuine sense of safety and belonging. Our Queer KAP Group is designed to offer just that—a space where you don’t have to explain or defend your identity. A place to explore, heal, and connect with others who understand.

This group is about more than just treatment. It’s about community care, shared strength, and radical self-acceptance. When we come together in this way, we make room for healing that transcends traditional talk therapy. We reclaim joy, connection, and the right to thrive.

Why group Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?

Ketamine is a legal, fast-acting medicine that has shown powerful results for people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, and burnout—challenges that disproportionately affect the queer community due to systemic discrimination and trauma.

When combined with skilled psychotherapy in a safe and supportive environment, ketamine can help loosen the grip of painful patterns, increase self-compassion, and open doors to new insight and spiritual growth.

Group KAP adds something extra: community. When you journey with others who understand your lived experience, there is an added sense of belonging and connection that deepens the healing.

What’s included in our Queer KAP Group?

This small, intimate group (3–4 participants) includes:

• An individual intake and medical screening with our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Adrienne Long, PMHNP-BC
• Two virtual group preparation sessions where you’ll learn more about KAP and begin building connection with your group
• Four in-person group ketamine sessions supported by trained facilitators, followed by an integration group the next day.
• One virtual group closing session to reflect, integrate, and honor your journey

This group is facilitated by Katie Godfrey, PhD, LMFT, a seasoned Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist and proud member of the queer community, alongside Autumn Sarsycki, our Psychedelic Medical Assistant.

Together, they hold a deeply affirming, trauma-informed space that supports each participant’s unique path toward healing.
