Innerbloom Ketamine Therapy

“I was given a second chance at life. Thank you Dr. Rivas, Libby, Cindy and Ehli for the wonderful experience. I can not say enough about how amazing my journey has been. I have been suffering every second of every day from severe anxiety and catastrophic thoughts for over 20 years. I have tried every medication possible with little to no success. Until I tried the I.V. Ketamine treatment with Dr. Rivas I’ve never truly felt at peace, safe or this happy. My anxiety has gone from being all consuming to almost non existent. On my worst days my anxiety is completely tolerable and I have the tools to calm myself down. Tools I’ve had for years but prior to treatment never worked. I am forever grateful for the environment and opportunity that Dr. Rivas has brought to SLO. I have felt supported and informed every step of the way. Dr. Rivas is brilliant, informative and gentle with wonderful bedside manners. Libby is such a warm, calming and supportive presence who is there for you every step of the way. Cindy is so knowledgeable and kind. Ehli is just a furball of perfection who is there with snuggles when you need her. Short story long, My journey has been so incredibly healing. There are no words to truly describe this journey, however, I know it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.”

“I knew next to nothing about "Ketamine", but a trusted friend strongly encouraged me to try it. I have suffered from PTSD, Chronic Pain, and Depression for many years. Regular Cognitive Behavioral Therapy simply could not get me over the "hump", past the negative thoughts that would play criticism in my head. I cannot recommend Innerbloom Ketamine Therapy enough. Dr Rivas, Libby, Cindy and Ellie, the therapy dog provided a safe, calm environment for me to undergo Ketamine Infusions. I strongly believe in them and this type of therapy. I now feel like a young, carefree person with so much to look forward to. That negative loop that once played in my head is gone. A Big, Heartfelt, Sincere Thank You to Innerbloom Ketamine Therapy.”

“For more than 20 years I've woken up most mornings dreading the day. I couldn't tell you what exactly I was afraid of, just that I felt something bad was going to happen and that I wouldn't be able to handle it. I would be sick with anxiety. So many times I would dry-heave in an attempt to rid myself of that anxiety. I've spent countless hours in therapy with multiple therapists. I've been on anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication for longer than I can remember. Despite all of this, the thoughts in my head continued to cause desperate and negative feelings. The morning after my first infusion at Innerbloom with Ketamine, I felt unlocked. I woke up with zero anxiety for the first time in more than a decade. The morning after the third infusion, I sent the following text to Innerbloom: "I just wanted to say that my gratitude for you guys and this treatment continues to overflow. Yesterday's infusion was life changing and I can't believe I'm only midway through the initial treatment." My mindset has shifted from dreading the day to being ready for the day. I have this newfound confidence that come what may, I have all the tools I need to handle it. Words are incapable of doing the treatment justice. You have to experience it for yourself and everyone's experience will be different. I will just say that my experience was incredible and my gratitude for this treatment and the team at Innerbloom is boundless. Doing this treatment can be scary. However, I have never experienced a level of care and passion for the mission like what I experienced at Innerbloom. Ray, Libby, and Cindy go above-and-beyond to do everything in their power to make it the best experience possible for you. I consider that one of the main reasons this treatment was so successful for me. I felt informed, safe, and cared for every time I was in the chair having my infusions. I can't say enough good things about this team. Similar to the Ketamine itself, words are incapable of doing their service justice. Innerbloom provides the tools and the setting, it is up to you to accept the experience. For the first time ever, I feel freedom from my anxiety and depression. But in order to do so, I had to be willing to let go of my fear of the unknown and just lean into the treatment. Innerbloom made that possible.”

“I started looking into ketamine treatment back in December when my seasonal depression seemed to be out of all-time high and I didn’t know what else to do. I immediately found inner bloom and talked to Libby. She was such a ray of sunshine and was super understanding and helpful with me getting started with the process to be approved and to even figure out how to apply for CareCredit. Once I started and I got to meet Dr. Ray and Libby and sweet Ellie (The golden retriever therapy dog there) I didn’t feel so alone. Every step of the way I was made to feel comfortable and asked about how I was feeling and processing through things and every step of the way I felt heard. I can’t recommend inner bloom enough for anybody who is interested in ketamine infusion therapy.”
