KAP Client Screening Form (Pre-Intake)

Thank you for your interest in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). This brief form helps us get a sense of your background and current needs, and whether KAP might be a good fit for you. Your responses will remain confidential and are only used to support

your care.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Practice

The Artful Life is an LGBTQIA+ affirming practice. We welcome and support clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities, and provide care that is safe, respectful, and trauma-informed. We honor and respect each person’s pronouns and identity.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We are committed to honoring diversity in every form—race, ethnicity, faith, culture, and family structure. Clients are matched with our clinicians based on clinical expertise and therapeutic needs. While we may not have a clinician that reflects every individual preference, each member of our team is committed to providing affirming, high-quality care.

If the possibility of working with LGBTQIA+ or diverse-identifying clinicians is not a comfortable fit, our practice may not be the right match for you.

All fields must be filled out in order to submit the form. If a question is not applicable then please fill in "N/A" .
