An Invitation to Transform
This six-week group experience weaves together three virtual preparation sessions, one in-person ketamine-assisted psychotherapy experience, and three virtual integration sessions.
We begin by building safety, trust, and relational grounding, clarifying intentions, exploring internal landscapes, and preparing your body and nervous system for expanded states of consciousness.
On medicine day, you will be supported within a small, queer-centered therapeutic container designed to foster safety, inward exploration, and emotional processing.
In the weeks that follow, integration sessions support you in making meaning of your experience and weaving insight into daily life, relationships, and embodied self-experience.
Queering psychedelic therapy means bringing the resilience, relational wisdom, and creativity of queer community into the healing process. This group is designed not only to support individual healing, but also to cultivate a sense of shared humanity, belonging, and possibility. Together, we create a space where healing can unfold with care, where pleasure and grief can coexist, and where transformation is supported at the pace your nervous system can truly integrate.
Over 6 weeks, you will:
-
with Nurse practitioner Rick Clark to review health history, medications, and safety considerations and determine the most appropriate route of administration.
-
during three virtual preparation sessions, where we clarify intentions, explore internal landscapes, and prepare your nervous system for expanded states of consciousness.
-
to support pleasure, embodiment, and emotional openness, including somatic grounding, breath awareness, and tools to increase safety and pleasure in altered states.
-
held in a queer-centered container designed to support emotional processing, self-connection, and the return of aliveness and joy.
-
through three virtual integration sessions, translating your experience into daily life, relationships, and a deeper capacity for presence, self-trust, and liberation.
-
in queer community, strengthening belonging, resilience, and the shared joy of being fully seen and supported with your journey.

Timing & Process
Step One: Reserve Your Discovery Call
To join the Queer Joy: Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Group, begin by scheduling a discovery call with Dr. Nicole or Meggie. This one-on-one conversation is an opportunity to explore your desires for this journey and ask any questions you may have about the group experience. During the call, we will take time to understand your unique intentions, goals, and the kind of support you’re seeking, ensuring that this space feels like an aligned, nourishing fit for your growth.

Step Two: Schedule Your KAP Group Intake
If that conversation feels supportive on both sides, the next step is a KAP group intake session with Meggie. This is a clinical intake for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in a group setting. Together, we’ll continue assessing fit, review your history and intentions, and explore whether this particular model of KAP feels appropriate and supportive for you at this time.
This step helps ensure the safety and integrity of the group while giving you space to ask questions and fully understand what participation entails.
If, after the intake, we determine there is mutual fit, we’ll confirm your participation and share next steps to prepare.

Investment
Details about group cost and payment options are discussed during the Discovery Call, which is also a space to explore fit, readiness, and what kind of support would be most aligned for you at this point in your journey. If you are feeling drawn to this work, we would love to hear from you!
Dr. Nicole and Meggie are deeply committed to making this work accessible and to supporting the liberation of our community. 30% of group positions are reserved for sliding scale support through the Community Care Fund, which operates as a form of community resourcing and mutual aid. Those who are able to contribute at higher levels are not only investing in their own healing, but also helping to make this work available to others who may have fewer financial resources. In this way, individual transformation and collective liberation are not separate paths, but intertwined, each sustaining and strengthening the other.
