Counseling can enhance the positive effects of ketamine infusion.
Ketamine infusions can be incredibly effective on their own, but having guidance and support through the experience can help you work through your feelings and thought processes. This can strengthen the amount of good this treatment can do for your mental health.
Counseling can be used to address several treatment-resistant conditions like depression, PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain conditions.
Meet Your Counselor and Psychotherapist
Zumrad Masar, LCSW-S, LCAS, CCS (she/her) is a licensed clinical social worker, licensed clinical addiction specialist, and certified clinical supervisor with nearly two decades of experience. She offers a warm, collaborative space for healing, growth, and self-discovery, working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and honoring the vast richness they bring to the therapeutic process.
Zumrad’s counseling approach is rooted in a holistic biopsychosocial model, embracing the emotional, physical, psychological, cultural, and spiritual aspects of her clients’ well-being. She weaves together somatic, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and relational therapies—alongside cognitive behavioral approaches—to help clients navigate life’s challenges, release old patterns, and reconnect with their inner strength.
A significant part of her work focuses on psychedelic integration, where she creates safe, supportive environments for clients to make sense of profound experiences and transform insights into lasting change. She facilitates the G.R.O.W. Psychedelic Integration Circle, a group designed to help participants integrate their journeys in meaningful ways. This reflects her long-standing commitment to helping people process and understand their experiences while fostering personal development, clarity, and peace.
Through a client-centered lens, Zumrad empowers individuals to prioritize their needs, develop effective coping strategies, and challenge limiting beliefs. Her depth-oriented (existential/psychodynamic) methods, paired with practical skills-building, aim to restore balance and provide relief for those she serves.

The first session determines if KAP is the right treatment for you and identifies your treatment’s end goals.
The following sessions may last anywhere from 90 minutes to 3 hours, but the length of the session greatly varies depending upon the dose, response, recovery time, as well as other factors.
Much like ketamine infusions or traditional therapy, KAP is most effective when you commit to an individualized treatment plan that stretches out over several weeks.
