Most patients start with a 6-session protocol over 2–3 weeks, a structure that is supported

by many clinical research trials. This series helps build momentum and unlock deeper, more

lasting results. While many find that the initial protocol creates a lasting shift, some patients

choose to return for occasional booster sessions as needed.

Yes. Ketamine therapy is very safe when used by experienced providers in a clinical setting,

and we take extra precautions to ensure your comfort and safety. One Mind adheres to the

most rigorous standards in safety protocols, staff training, emergency medical supplies and

equipment. Unlike many clinics, One Mind is directed by a board-certified anesthesiologist

— the most qualified medical doctor for the safe administration of sedating IV medications.

Every experience is unique. Most patients describe a sense of calm, emotional openness, or

deep introspection. Some have dreamlike visuals or out-of-body sensations. You’ll be in a

private, quiet treatment room, and most patients choose to wear an eye mask and listen to

music to support a focused, inward experience.

Ketamine works best when integrated into a comprehensive mental health plan. With your permission, we’ll coordinate with your existing provider to keep your care aligned, supported, and collaborative.

Unfortunately, ketamine therapy is largely not covered by most insurers, so we are currently a self-pay clinic. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds, and we’re happy to provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Everyone responds a little differently, but many patients begin to notice real changes in

their mood by the third infusion — sometimes even sooner. For others, it may take the full

6-session protocol to experience meaningful relief. Either way, we’ll monitor your progress

closely and adjust the plan together to make sure you’re on the right path.

No. You cannot drive yourself home after your session. All patients must arrange transportation with a friend, family member, or a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft. Ketamine can temporarily impair coordination and awareness, so this policy is in place to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
