Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about therapy, pricing, ketamine-assisted sessions, and working with Luminous Pathways.
GETTING STARTED
Beginning the Process
How do I get started?
All new clients begin with a free 30-minute consultation. It's a low-pressure conversation to talk about where you are, what you're looking for, and whether Luminous Pathways is the right fit. Book yours here.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an intake conversation. We'll talk through your background, what's bringing you to therapy now, and what you're hoping to get out of the work. There's no pressure to dive into anything you're not ready for.
Are you accepting new clients?
Yes. Reach out through the contact page or book a free consultation to check current availability. Krystal works with a limited number of clients to ensure each person gets the time and attention they deserve.
THERAPY & PRICING
Sessions, Rates & Insurance
Do you take insurance?
No. All services are self-pay, due at the time of service. Choosing self-pay means your care is guided entirely by your goals — not by diagnostic codes, session limits, or insurer requirements.
What do sessions cost?
Individual psychotherapy and coaching sessions are $200 for 50 minutes. Ketamine sessions are $600 for 3 hours. Intensives start at $1,100. See the full Offerings & Pricing page for rates and packages. Contact us for Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy packages.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on what you're working through. Some people come for a focused season of work — a few months. Others find the ongoing relationship valuable over a longer period. We'll talk about what makes sense for your goals.
EXPANDED MODALITIES
Ketamine & Psychedelic Work
What is ketamine-assisted therapy?
Ketamine-assisted therapy combines medically supervised ketamine sessions with therapeutic preparation and integration work. It's particularly effective for depression, anxiety, and trauma when traditional approaches haven't been enough.
Is ketamine therapy safe?
Yes, when delivered in a clinical framework. Krystal works in coordination with a medical prescriber who provides a medical assessment, prescribing, and ongoing safety and dosage monitoring throughout your treatment. Sessions take place in a comfortable, non-clinical setting.
What is psychedelic integration?
Integration is the process of making meaning from psychedelic experiences — whether from a clinical or other setting. Krystal holds a Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Certificate from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (2024) and works with clients before, during, and after these experiences.
