Welcome to Golden Afternoon

All of our ketamine and esketamine therapies are done under the purview of a medical doctor in a comfortable, luxurious setting in the Los Angeles area.

Our journey to Golden Afternoon

Founded in 2022 by Victoria Webster and Dr. Jennifer Ellice. Marissa joined us very early in our journey as an RN and is now a Psych NP. In the following years, we have administered this therapy to hundreds of patients who have found relief from depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and other mood disorders.

Dr. Jenn

Jennifer Ellice, MD, has a passion for helping patients who have not found relief through traditional treatments. She is board certified in emergency medicine and based in Los Angeles. She studied at Princeton University, University of Rochester School of Medicine, and the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University Residency Program in Emergency Medicine before coming to Los Angeles where she has practiced since 2008, gaining extensive experience in emergency medicine and critical care. She first noticed the transformative power of ketamine infusions while using it in the emergency room for anesthesia. She is excited to offer this cutting-edge therapy to her patients. Dr. Jenn is dedicated to providing a comfortable and modern clinical setting for her patients and is committed to delivering high-quality care in a setting that promotes hope and healing. She believes in the brain's capacity for regeneration and healing.

NP Marissa

Marissa is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a deep passion for innovative, compassionate mental health care. After spending more than eight years as an emergency department nurse, she began working in ketamine-assisted treatment, where she witnessed firsthand the profound impact ketamine can have for individuals who have struggled to find relief through traditional approaches.

That experience inspired Marissa to further specialize in psychiatry and psychedelic medicine. At Golden Afternoon, she brings together her background in acute care, psychiatry, and ketamine therapy to provide thoughtful, individualized care in a setting where patients can feel safe, heard, and supported.

Marissa’s approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic. She believes meaningful healing extends beyond treating symptoms and values understanding each person’s story, experiences, lifestyle, and goals. Her priority is to create a genuine therapeutic relationship while helping patients navigate their treatment with openness, curiosity, and compassion.

Victoria

Victoria Webster has been a devotee of alternative medicine her whole life. She co-founded Golden Afternoon after she experienced first hand how effective ketamine therapy could be for depression and anxiety. She is a Certified Core Energetics Practitioner (a branch of somatic therapy) and brings her knowledge of these integrative practices to the clinic. She has a B.A. in History of Science from Princeton University, and has been studying different healing modalities for many years. She believes in holistic, patient-centered care, and is committed to providing a safe space where insight, science, spirituality and beauty come together for a transformative healing experience.
