Client Testimonials
I came to Modern Mindwork to deal with job burnout, CPTSD, and difficulty with maintaining empathy and understanding my clients. While the experience was far more intense than I imagined, the infusions allowed me to process my emotions and reinvigorated my brain. I was skeptical about the concept of ketamine stimulating new neural pathways, but I now believe. The ketamine showed me the work I needed to do on myself, and Joanna provided an absolutely safe environment for a very personal, intense experience.

It took time to realize that I stopped having derealization episodes after the first infusion and after 6 months, they are still gone. I still struggle with disassociation but it a lot less. I can find happiness in day to day life. I can regulate myself so that my child can be safe while they feel their emotions. Joanna says the hard things to me and she reminds me that being imperfect is what humans are suppose to be. She lets me feel safe enough to sit with the hard parts.

Ketamine changed my brain. It let me stop hating myself. Joanna made the whole scary deal, safe. It is hard, hard work. It doesn't fix everything. It lets you do the work a little easier. I tried other clinics. I will never go anywhere else. Set and setting are everything. Joanna makes it all work.

Joanna is warm and professional. She took her time and explained the process thoroughly.

Chronic depression almost killed me. Ketamine allows me to feel normal, sometimes happy, sometimes sad.
