About this clinic
Aion Trauma Center, a Ketamine Therapy Clinic in Frederick, MD, specializes in trauma-focused treatment using ketamine-assisted psychotherapy alongside eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). The clinic addresses post-traumatic stress, treatment-resistant depression, and related presentations through a protocol-driven approach combining pharmacological support with structured psychotherapeutic intervention. Ketamine therapy is offered as an adjunct to counseling rather than as monotherapy, allowing patients to access deeper processing work during and after infusion sessions. The practice also provides ED treatment as a secondary offering. Treatment plans are individualized following intake assessment, and the clinic emphasizes
I came to Aion Trauma a suffering combat veteran and law enforcement officer who was on a long list of psych meds that were ruining my health. Rick seemed like one of the coolest guys I had ever met at our first appointment. Learning he was an imbedded journalist with the Marines during heavy combat was a huge bonus. He suggested I read the book "The Body Keeps the Score" which talks about the modalities of treatment he does in his office. I read it and was amazed at some of the claims this book made. Well I was made a believer. EMDR coupled with ketamine infusions next-door gave me my life back. I am totally free from that bondage and I'm doing better mentally, emotionally, and spiritually than ever before. I got my life back. Thank you Rick and Meagan!

Rick helped me more than I ever could have thought possible. His approach is unlike any other therapist I have worked with, and that is what made the difference. Professional, cooperative, and truly a valuable asset to the community, I recommend Aion Trauma Center to anyone struggling with trauma and looking for that extra boost to really make an impact.

It’s a shame when two bad reviews are enough to drop the rating, so doing my part to try to balance that out. Personal experiences are just that. Rick is certainly empathetic, and has spoken to the parts that need light without even the need to say them outright.
Additionally, the fact that there is a clinic offering Ketamine assisted therapy locally is also incredible. No one is forced to take a profound pharmaceutical aid… that’s just not how any of this works.

Rick Steele told my partner and I that we were too unstable to receive EMDR, which we were also not informed involved Ketamine at this practice. He required that we both be on psych meds after admitting ourselves to the hospital with no solid diagnosis applied to either of us, solely because his version of "trauma informed care" hates people who ACTUALLY have lifelong trauma to deal with. His only positive reviews are from colleagues for a good reason, because he's a really rude and disrespectful guy towards patients in need.
Edit: No, I will not be calling you back so you can attempt to gaslight me some more, Rick. You know what they say; fool me once, right?
