Located in San Luis Obispo, CA, Innerbloom Ketamine Therapy is a physician-led practice offering insurance-covered nasal esketamine (Spravato), intravenous ketamine infusions, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). Our mission is to help patients live happier, healthier lives through a holistic approach that integrates psychedelic-assisted therapy as a key component of healing. We provide safe, effective care through individualized treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Our top priorities are safety and efficacy, which is why we offer Spravato, IV and IM ketamine. Dr. Rivas, a board-certified trauma surgeon with over 10 years of experience in emergency and trauma medicine, leads our team. Recognizing the significance of 'set and setting,' we meticulously curate an experience to maximize the benefits of ketamine therapy. Our approach is that ketamine should be used as a tool and catalyst to break negative thoughts and maladaptive behaviors. Our goal is to facilitate positive lifestyle changes to promote enduring effects. The process of integration with psychotherapy is key to fully utilizing the insights and gifts that ketamine can offer.
