Depression
Ketamine has a robust antidepressant effect and can quickly alleviate symptoms of severe depression.

Chronic Pain
Ketamine for chronic pain has proven to be efficient for those seeking fast relief from chronic pain.
ShaMynds Healing Center
Psychedelics, found in nature have long been overlooked for their healing powers. For centuries, indigenous healers have used the power of these medicinals to manifest healing of the body with inner intelligence and to expand states of consciousness.
We embed the concepts of “Holism” as it applies to medicine and beyond. Holism embodies the belief that any single part of a bodily system is inextricably connected to the whole and in order to understand each part you must consider the whole.
At Shamynds, our mission is to combine the traditional healing arts with science to exalt the possibilities that exist within you and your consciousness.

The team at ShaMynds was so calm, caring, and supportive throughout my experience that I was able to relax and take in the benefits of the session and medicine. Kati’s detailed instruction about how the morning would unfold, the caring approach of my RN, Natalie, the guides, Jaya and Christina, and Dr Ahmad’s kind and nurturing ways made my experience truly extraordinary. I felt cradled in their hands. I noticed for a week afterward that my anxiety had dissipated and things that bothered me a lot before the treatment were no longer a problem. The team at ShaMynds left me with an overwhelming feeling of warmth, care, and support. Thank you! Read LessCynthia B.1/14/2023

I'd like to share a thank you note I sent to Dr. Ahmad after receiving treatment for depression and ptsd. If you are struggling, please consider ketamine therapy as a way to feel better. Like SO MUCH BETTER! Dear Dr. Ahmad, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I would have used exclamation points but I’m afraid I’d break the key on my keyboard if I used enough to do the words justice. Thank you for taking a HUGE leap to open a ketamine center and make this life-changing healing possible for me. Thank you for putting together a beautiful space and lovely team to support all the good that happens there. Thank you for the life-changing benefits I live with because of treatment. Most of the time I feel grounded and good inside. I can't remember when I felt this steady and happy. But most of all, thank you for our conversation after my 4th session. Your words helped to heal a jagged regret I carried inside and gave me a new way to see my life and my worth. I am FOREVER grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Well, there we go with the !s!)
