We believe that you will get the most out of your ketamine journey if you have a therapist to return to after your experience. If you are not yet established our clinicians can bridge the gap and provide resources on how to find a provider.

The session will take 2-3 hours in office.

You cannot drive after the administration session. We ask that a loved one picks you up or that you utilize a rideshare service.

Most insurance providers do not cover Ketamine treatment. Vitellaria does not handle any insurance billing. Fees are paid with cash or card. We can provide you with a superbill.

You can bring any small special items you would like to have near you, pictures, or items of sentimental or spiritual value. Please bring your own eyeshades. A journal is a good thing to bring if you would like someone to take notes or if you would like to write anything down after your journey.

Preparation sessions are meetings you will have with the PMHNP or therapist before the session to talk about any questions or comments you may have, to set intentions and to go over any important logistical information. Integration sessions are meetings with PMHNP or therapist that offer you the opportunity to make meaning from your journey.
