What sets us apart from other KAP Training Programs?
Jennifer Montjoy brings an integrative, holistic approach to her private practice and trainings. Jennifer holds a Ph.D. from the University of Arizona. Her doctoral substantive is biobehavioral neuroscience and her dissertation study, Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): Clinical Outcomes and Self-transcendence in depression and PTSD is an important contribution to the field of psychotherapeutic psychedelic research.
Ceremony and ritual are important aspects of Jennifer’s personal and KAP practice; she participated in Web of Life’s 1-year Animist ministry ordainment program and was ordained in September 2021. Animism is a non-religious, earth-honoring spiritual practice emphasizing the sacred connection between human and non-human peoples.
Psychedelic therapies undoubtedly require vulnerability and intimacy as we share our inner experiences with others. TRIPP cohorts are limited to small groups so that each participant has the opportunity to feel safe, seen, and heard.
TRAINING LOCATIONS:
Tucson (in-person)
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS:

Q: Will we receive a certificate?
Currently, there are no national guidelines for KAP certification at this time. There is no KAP governing body that dictates whether someone is certified or not. Offering KAP is based on the clinician’s scope of practice in the state(s) where you are licensed and each clinician’s confidence and competence.
At the end of our training, you will receive a certificate for completing specialized ketamine/KAP training. However, if you are a non-prescribing mental healthcare clinician, you will need to partner with a prescriber to offer KAP.
