Summary – My experience with ketamine therapy and the Transcend Health Solutions team was overwhelmingly positive, and I would recommend working with them without reservation.

Full Review
After trying talk therapy and anti-anxiety medication for extended periods of time, both of which helped but didn't quite "fix" my anxiety or depression, I decided to explore ketamine therapy.
During the session, you sit in a comfortable chair with your therapist and nurse in a quiet, calmly lit room. First your nurse places your IV in preparation for the ketamine infusion. Next you spend 30 minutes with your therapist and set an intention for the session. Then the ketamine infusion begins, and as you recline with an eye mask on, visuals begin to appear as you talk through the topic. You finish by debriefing on the session with your therapist as you come down from the ketamine infusion.
Generally, the ketamine creates an emotional distance between you and the topics that enables you to engage with them fully. We covered a variety of different subjects and experiences that I believed might be contributing to my anxiety and depression, as well as some that came up unexpectedly but were clearly matters I needed to talk through.
Throughout the course, my therapist displayed a high degree of empathy and understanding, and always made me feel at ease even when discussing difficult topics. By the end of my treatment, my anxiety issues had improved immensely and my depression symptoms felt fully resolved. The staff are all incredibly welcoming and professional, and I would highly recommend the group to anyone seeking help with persistent mental health challenges.

I was very pleased with my experience receiving ketamine-assisted therapy at Transcend Health Solutions. Everyone, from the front desk, to the RNs to the therapist were extremely professional, friendly, and client-centric. Highly recommend to anyone looking into this type of therapy.

I can’t recommend Transcend highly enough. After weeks of researching ketamine therapy options in the midst of depression, I’m so grateful I found this team and their approach to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
From the very first call, Transcend’s care and professionalism stood out. I had been considering another practice but was really put off by how they handled scheduling and logistics. When I connected with Ava from Transcend, everything changed. She was compassionate, meticulous, and SO supportive throughout the entire intake process. Her warmth and efficiency made treatment feel accessible, especially with their sliding scale program that made it financially possible for me. In a way, Ava helped me get my life back by making sure I actually started treatment at the right place.
Will, my nurse practitioner and co-founder, brought exceptional expertise to the medical side of treatment. His approach to IV KAP is incredibly thoughtful - he can titrate the dose in real time to find the true “sweet spot” for optimal results. Beyond the clinical sessions, his passion for educating the broader community about KAP’s potential (even when facing resistance - hi Reddit mods!) shows how much he genuinely cares about this work and making it accessible to more people.
Finally, Annabel, my therapist, created a space where I could finally process things I’d been carrying for years. Her guidance during the sessions empowered me to access breakthroughs around identity, authenticity, and deeply rooted patterns I didn’t even realize were holding me back. She helped me integrate these insights in ways that are genuinely changing how I move through the world. I told my boyfriend I was sad to meet Annabel in this setting because I now we can’t be best friends but I will get by knowing I have her guidance and support to get me through the darkest of days.
I can only describe the treatment itself as magical. I completed six sessions (plus a couple of talk therapy integration sessions) and experienced significant shifts in how I relate to myself, my nervous system regulation, and my ability to show up authentically. I fundamentally reconnected with who I actually am beneath layers of hypervigilance and people-pleasing patterns. I’m not ‘fixed’ and my problems didn’t magically go away, but I have the capacity to deal with whatever life throws my way.
If you’re considering ketamine therapy, I’d strongly encourage you to choose a program like Transcend’s that integrates real psychotherapy with the treatment. The combination of medical expertise, therapeutic support, and genuine human care made all the difference in my healing journey and there is absolutely hope for you too.

My time at Transcend Health Solutions was exactly what I needed after losing my father and going through a year of back to back difficult events. I had felt stuck in a painful emotional cycle and was experiencing intense somatic activations that were overwhelming and deeply uncomfortable. After trying everything I could think of, I was desperate for an alternative that did not involve long term medication or side effects, something that could genuinely support my nervous system for the long run.
After extensive research (and the guidance of a few trusted NP friends), I landed on Transcend’s program. I did not want a healing experience with no follow-through. I wanted something intentional, structured therapy, meaningful integration, and support that extended beyond the infusion itself. I have friends who have done ketamine programs without therapy, and in my opinion, the therapy is absolutely the key to long term success. That is where Transcend truly stands apart.
My nurse, Will, was incredible. He was personable, supportive, easy to talk to, and helped me feel safe and welcomed from the moment I walked in. My therapist, Annabel, was equally amazing. She helped me get to the core of my wounds and gently reframe the ways I held them so I could finally access the joy and lightness that had been hiding just beneath the grief.
Another major piece for me was the somatic experience. Self awareness is one thing, but KAP helped me actually embody feelings of self trust, joy, and release. For the first time in a long time, the heaviness of grief and anger began to lift in a way I could physically feel.
The entire experience was worth every penny, and I deeply appreciated that the clinic worked with me on pricing. The facility itself is calming and thoughtfully designed. As someone who can get overwhelmed in intense environments, the attention to detail around ambiance made a huge difference.
Overall, I am incredibly grateful I chose Transcend for this deep healing work. It was the right place, the right people, and the right support at the right time. I have already recommended their program to friends and will continue to do so for anyone ready for the next phase of their healing journey.

Transcend has wonderful and well educated staff. They are very open, caring, and empathetic towards patients. The intake process feels very safe even while in crisis and they do everything in their power to reinforce patients autonomy. Treatment here has quite literally saved my life and is actively putting me on track for a better future.
