Find a PA therapist who truly fits
Ketamine Group Retreats
KAP Training + education for therapists Full Living is led by Karen L.
Full Living is a psychotherapy practice rooted in thoughtful care, clinical depth, and guided support. We specialize in director-led therapy matching, helping individuals find a therapist who truly fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Instead of navigating endless directories alone, our very human director helps you figure out a good move for your healing journey. In addition to therapy matching, Full Living offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for individuals who feel stuck or are seeking deeper therapeutic work. Our KAP offerings are grounded in preparation, integration, and ethical clinical care; including our group retreat, *Becoming Your Own Ally*. We also provide training and education for therapists, supporting clinicians as they begin the journey to onboard KAP into their practices, and then to continue to thoughtfully explore and deepen their understanding of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy within a psychotherapeutic framework. Smith MSS, LCSW, a seasoned psychotherapist with decades of clinical experience. Karen personally facilitates the matching process and oversees all therapeutic offerings, ensuring care is thoughtful, well-paced, and deeply aligned with each individualโs needs.

Love my snark or hate it, therapists interested in working with psychedelics need to give some serious consideration to why they are sprinkling music into their therapy work just because they have added a psychedelic. Should we all put on some patchouli also?

Don't just marvel at the perspective of children. Let it model your behavior. Pay attention Fully. Not all the time. But sometimes. Quietly. With all your curiosity. You will be rewarded with a calmer, more internally organized self.

We can "know" things cognitively, even believe them, but not have access to feeling those truths in our bodies. Transformation happens from lived experiences of safety and goodness. We make small changes in our lives, that open up new opportunities to taste new experiences like pride, confidence, accomplishement, in our bodies. Lived experiences of goodness and safety. That is what heals us.
Enjoy whatever about you is enjoyable.
๐ธ I laugh at the little burst of joy I get when I sharpen a pencil.
๐ธ I sing "this is what I am doing now" whenever I am doing something as if I am rushed and have to get to the new thing to slow myself down.
๐ธ I light candles for myself when I want to delight my soul a little.
๐ธ I smile at myself in the mirror and tell myself I am rocking it when I feel like I could use a boost.
I am seriously great company to myself. Lots of people wouldn't enjoy hanging with me. But I do. And I have to be with me always and forever, so, yep...I focus on being one of my favorite people to hang out with.
Take yourself seriously. If you are stuck, doing something over and over, even though part of you really wants to make a change, another part of you has a damn good reason. Find out what it is. Stop bullying yourself. Be an ally. Part of you is suffering. Find out why and how. You, above all others, are best suited to understand and to to help. Don't be a d*_k.

Come hang out with trained KAP clinicians and therapists interested in KAP. Your interest can be personal and/or professional! Come ask questions, tell us about the work you are doing, and help us build a robust ketamine assisted psychotherapy community here in Philly. Okay, and the burbs. And South Jersey :)

We will be in on the back patio overlooking the schuylkill at a table with big flowers, a little sign, and an old white haired lady with tattoos (that's me)!
If youโre a clinician thinking about KAP, this is where youโll find your people.

Life is never settled or set. It is an ever moving experience with new opportunities at every turn. Keep asking yourself what you want from your life. It will help you notice green flags for that life ๐ธ

Okay, I definitely don't go all out like this every weekend. I think some folx can't imagine a fully rich, dynamic, engaged life as a single person. Here is one way it can look.
๐ธ Day started with a lovely Spell Jar tutorial. Love me some ritual.
๐ธ Next up a b**r and salad at an outdoor sidewalk table, because I love to watch people in my great city.
๐ธ Chinatown for a serious foot massage. Yes, those are flames on my knees. There were several large grown ass men there. I felt very tender towards them coming in an letting themselves be touched.
๐ธ Then some hand pulled noodles. I mean, I was in Chinatown.
๐ธ Ending at home to a puppy exhausted by my absence, to rewatch literally every season of Slow Horses before I start with the new season. (I do a rewatch of this show every time a new season comes out)!
We are all artists/crafters/designers of our lives, creating beauty and wonder with all our bits and pieces. Keep making cool stuff!

Such a proud girl. I literally locked her in her crate until I could calm down my nervous system enough to rescue it!
