Before I found Northwest Ketamine Clinics, it looked like I was doing fine.
It looked like I was a happy person—or at least, you know, motivated, determined, accomplishing things in life. But internally, every day was a struggle.

“From the outside, I looked fine. But internally, every day was a struggle.”

I was constantly, throughout my life, researching: What are new ways? Are there any breakthroughs for depression, anxiety, these things?
So I was always reading stuff—hoping that, you know, there would be some miracle cure that someone figured out or came up with.

At some point, I started to read a few things about ketamine.

I probably read every single thing on the website multiple times.
I loved that there were bios of the staff—so I felt like I could kind of get a sense of what they were passionate about.

“I really appreciated that there were statistics. That helped me feel—this is a good decision. This is a good place.”

I also really, really appreciated that there were statistics that helped me be like, This is a good decision. This is a good place. This is somewhere I would like to go.

And when I arrived at the clinic, it was just a beautiful, peaceful, quiet place.
All the staff members I interacted with were just very kind, very friendly, and welcoming.

So all of those things really started to pave the way for it to be a really good, powerful experience.

I’ve kind of described ketamine to friends and family like a personal fitness trainer.

“Ketamine came in and said: You can do this. You can feel this way. You can grow. But you’ve got to put in the work too.”

Ketamine came in, and I partnered with ketamine.
It came in and said: You can do this. You can feel this way. You can grow these ways. And you can heal. But you’ve got to put in the work too.

And as I saw that healing and growth could take place—and as I put the energy into it—I just saw… so many things.
