Unlocking the Power of Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine therapy supports clients who feel stuck by rapidly enhancing neuroplasticity and reducing brain inflammation—two key factors in treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. By acting on the glutamate system, ketamine helps restore synaptic function and create a window of emotional flexibility that can supercharge your therapeutic work.

Unlocking the Power of Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for various mental health conditions. Its unique mechanism of action offers rapid relief for patients suffering from depression, PTSD, migraines, chronic pain, anxiety, and other mood disorders.

Evidence-based Treatment

Ketamine IV therapy is backed by decades of clinical research and is recognized for its effectiveness in treating mood disorders when other treatments have failed.

6 out of 5. Dr. Jenn is a pioneer in this space and her practice is second to none. The integrative process with her is just as important if not more so than the pharmacology. The results of her care have reshaped my view on family, work and play where all other courses of treatment for depression and anxiety haven't made a dent. Go here.

THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE!

I don't know how to thank Dr Jenn enough. I felt like I was drowning and didn't know what was happening to me. I was practically shaking with anxiety that turned into depression. A friend told me about Golden Afternoon. I didn't really want to travel across town and make the effort to get rides etc. But I was desperate. I wasn't functioning anymore. I'm the type of person that can do and handle a lot so I had no idea what was happening to me. I won't get too much into my story but let's just say I had major ptsd that I was running away from and couldn't do it any longer. The process had its dark moments of realizations but I finally had my answers. It made my mind so clear. I finally feel PEACE. I could cry writing this. If you truly feel helpless, depressed or anxiety ridden, do this. I have a new lease on life, truly.

Dr. Jennifer Ellice and her staff at Golden Afternoon provide exceptional care with a warm, compassionate approach from the moment you walk in. As a ketamine-assisted psychotherapist, I can attest to Dr. Jenn's deep knowledge and professionalism, making her one of the most trusted practitioners on the Westside. Whether you're curious or ready to explore ketamine infusions, I highly recommend this clinic for anyone seeking a safe, supportive environment for their healing journey. The staff is attentive, and Dr. Jenn's expertise truly stands out in this space.

I had a life changing experience here -- thank you Dr. Jenn! I had never tried anything like this and I had some apprehension going in, but after the the first session I was feeling and behaving differently. The results were immediately transformative for me, and six months later I'm still feeling better. The staff is professional, caring and knowledgeable. I first heard about the Golden Afternoon clinic on the Tim Ferris podcast. You can Youtube search Kevin Rose/Tim Ferris if you want to hear it. Yelp needs 10 stars for this clinic :)

Frequently asked questions about referrals

What if I don't know anything about ketamine treatment?

It's fine! Dr. Jenn has been practicing emergency medicine for 20 years, and doing ketamine treatment for 3 years and has treated hundreds of patients from all over the world. We can support you in whatever your capacity.

Should I continue working with my patients while you are doing the treatment?

Yes! We actually believe that it can be extremely beneficial for patients to work with their therapists beforehand to set their intentions, and afterwards to deal with what comes up. While ketamine can offer amazing relief from mood disorders, and this relief can create amazing spaces to do the work of real, lasting healing.

Do you practice therapy?

We do not practice therapy, nor do we have any in-house therapists. Dr. Jenn works will all of our patients before and after to prepare for their treatment and to process and begin integration work, but we do not continue integration work outside of treatments.

Should I be there to work with my patient?

If the patient is willing, you are allowed to sit with them. However, IV and IM ketamine therapy allows the patient to go very deep, and the treatment works best when the patient is allowed the hour to go inward. In fact, touching and talking to patients during the session will often bring them out of this state, and research has not shown any benefit to this approach. Keep in mind that IV and IM ketamine is very different from the low doses treatments using lozenges or nasal sprays.

I am a primary care, concierge, or other non-mental health health care provider - is it OK to refer my patients to you without a therapist?

Yes! Ketamine has been show to have tremendous effects on treating mood disorders, and those effects happen regardless of whether the patient uses a therapist or not. Dr. Jenn will make sure your patient is in good hands. If you feel you would like to at least give them an option for therapy, we can refer them to therapists in our network.
