Join us for the upcoming Music Module next Friday, March 27th:

Music for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Sessions
Trainers: Eric Sienknecht, PsyD • Ryan Hoffman, LMFT
Friday, March 27th, 2026

In this module, we explore various aspects of using music to enhance patients’ experiences in ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP), including track selection and arrangement, matching music and sound effects with drug effects, effective use of transference and countertransference in relation to music. We give participants a better understanding of the methods used to prepare and create music sets for ketamine sessions to deepen the patient’s therapeutic process, open their hearts and minds to the vibrational dimensions of consciousness, and support healing from depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
