Full Living

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 individual’s needs.

The best way to find a therapist is through a well-connected clinician who actually knows the landscape - who understands specialties, personalities, modalities, and who works well with whom.

If you live in Pennsylvania and you do not already have that person in your life, I can be that for you.

Give me 15 minutes on a video call so I can understand who you are, what has worked before, what has not, and what kind of clinician will actually serve you. 📲

This is how you start therapy intelligently.

In the world of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, “Set and Setting” is the umbrella term for how we enter journeys prepared.

In the psycho-education materials you receive the week prior to the retreat, and our virtual groups leading up to the retreat days, we will help you with mind Set. During that same week, my team and I will be preparing the Setting.

We start to build the safe Setting container through screening because not everyone is a good candidate for ketamine assisted psychotherapy, or for this particular group experience.

This is how we protect each participant and the group.
I spend the week doing a ridiculous amount of cleaning, and tidying, and tinkering, and loads and loads of laundry, to make the place feel clean, comfortable, and even a bit magical.

I cook fabulous food for our each journey day for the group because I absolutely want you to feel personally cared for and deeply nourished by this experience.

The team builds the retreat space with me, clearing out furniture, building pods, fluffing pillows, plating food, and filling the space with our excitement and energy for our upcoming retreat. 🌿

New upcoming dates of April 20th to 26th. If you want to learn more about this opportunity, DM me “KAP” or click the email button on my profile to begin the conversation. 💬

There comes a moment when the structures that once held you no longer fit. 👇🏻

You feel the quiet tug of misalignment. You notice how often you’ve been orienting around others. Something in you knows it’s time to come back to yourself; not to improve, but to rely on yourself more fully. 🌿

Becoming Your Own Ally is a medicine-supported psychotherapy group experience I created for people ready to build a grounded, trustworthy relationship with themselves.

This work centers inner alliance, agency, and self-trust through carefully prepared ketamine-assisted psychotherapy held within a deeply supported clinical container.

Hear about our program from participants (including many of our therapist participants). 🙏

An element of the richness of our ketamine assisted psychotherapy group experience is that participants are never new to therapy. In fact, a bunch of them ARE therapists!

A handful of group participants are always psychotherapists. Largely because therapists are brave and curious consumers of psychotherapy, but also sometimes they are learning how to use this medicine and this treatment model for their own work with clients.

Therapists will be using the group like all participants, to do their own piece of psychotherapy work. A extra draw of this retreat for psychotherapists interested in introducing KAP into their own work is a chance to see an expert in the KAP world walk a group of participants through this journey. 🌱

Stay tuned for the next Becoming Your Own Ally experience. It is coming. ✨

This is during the actual medicine journey, when the room is quiet, everyone is in their comfy pod, eye masks on, blankets pulled up, with each person is deep inside their own psyche. 🧠

You can hear the sound bath moving through the space, sprinkling sound and energy, calming and delighting the system, but background enough to disappear into your own self.

Therapists are sitting through out the room, tracking breath, posture, shifts in energy, making sure participants have anything they might need to make their journey the most fruitful.

Our day together has group therapy conversations before and after the medicine journey, but the medicine journey is an individual experience, in the safe, soft, magical container of the group. ✨

Our next “Becoming Your Own Ally” group experience enrollment ends in two days.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Doesn't Require You to Trip Your Brains Out - Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Doesn't Require You to Trip Your Brains Out Tell me if you have heard this story. You have a friend curious about trying

Dont’ worry. Ketamine-assisted group psychotherapy isn’t a recreational drug rave. 👇🏻

Ketamine medicine journeys can absolutely be fun, exhilarating, and pleasurable. Which is great since we are going to use all that goodness to go the darkest and most stuck places in your soul, body and psyche.

Nothing wrong with a good time, but in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy we are using that interesting time to work on trauma, grief, hopelessness, anxiety, rage, addiction, self-hate, etc.

Psychedelic assisted psychotherapy is invested in the long-term use for a better life…not just a fun event. The medicine can open a door. It can soften defenses. It can help you re-write your story.

Our next Becoming Your Own Ally group runs April 20th to 26th, 2026 in Glenside*, PA.

*Out of town attendees will stay in Fort Washington PA

Curious what a KAP retreat actually entails? 🤔 👇🏻

It might bring deep relaxation, but it isn't a spa weekend. It might bring what feels like epiphany or revelation, but a cool/deep moment isn't enough. It isn’t ketamine assisted psychotherapy until the experience is made usable to change your life.

We offer a curated, structured, medicine-supported group experience, where your intentionality, our container, and a group of other participants hungry for their own change, set the stage for radical life transformation.

We will help you with the work of preparation and intention setting before you arrive, in virtual group work and journal/conversation prompts through the week. We will handle building a supported, non-impinging setting, for your medicine journeys. The group will help you metabolize the experience. And under the direction of our therapist team, we will help you on your way to integrate the lessons gained from your journeys. 🌿

Enrollment closes March 12th (or once our 10 person group is filled) so we have time to secure a medical evaluation and prescription.

Random recommendations, directories, Google searches, and admin intake coordinators cannot clinically match you ⬇️

My first question on our free intake will be “What is bringing you to therapy right now”? After a brief but real conversation about what you need right now in your life, I will ask the big question, “What do you think would be helpful for you in a psychotherapist”? Trust me. People have a lot to say. As they should!

People actually know a lot about what works for them. Certainly, if they’ve been in therapy before, but even if they haven’t. They may not have language for it, but they know, for example, they “want to be pushed”, “need someone who can laugh”, “someone who will hold me accountable”, “someone gentle”, “will totally want homework”, “someone to help me talk”, “someone to stop me from talking”!

This information is the data for our conversation about my clinical opinion on who I think you should work with in my Pennsylvania practice. You and I might be a good match, but I might also have someone more suited. And that is the issue. The match matters!

If you are in Pennsylvania and want a thoughtful, human match, DM me “MATCH” or click the email button on my profile to begin the conversation. 💬

Are you seriously and deeply curious about psychedelic therapy? 👇🏻

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can help loosen entrenched narratives, lower emotional and cognitive defenses, and create direct access to emotional material stored in the body. 🧩

When entered with intentionality, psychedelics, ketamine in particular, can give you access to embodied experiences of self love and compassion, well-being and this potent, concentrated, lived experience of goodness.

During the days that follow, your brain’s neuroplasticity is wildly fluid and flexible, offering up novel thoughts, whole trains of thought, never considered, on the issues that brought you to the treatment…the themes where you and your brain and body and your therapy have been most stuck 🧠

Psychedelic assisted psychotherapy will feel a lot like therapy week in and week out. The medicine is used for new access, new opportunities, new angles, but for the same work of re-engagement with your own life, but from a different stance.

When engaged in KAP treatment you will be working with a KAP psychotherapist for at least several weeks, maybe as your primary therapist and maybe in collaboration with your existing therapist.

Really. First, dont drown out your own thoughts and energy by flooding it with the most mood and mind altering substance ever...music. We are using this treatment to be with the self. Your thoughts are enough.

But also, silence is profoundly rich while on ketamine. Give it a try.

And if you haven’t read my book, I published an excerpt on my blog from my “Snarky Opinions” section of the book.
