Discover How Ketamine Can Help You

Over the past few years, ketamine infusion therapy has had a huge impact on the way we approach and treat various mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and more. 

Unlike traditional treatments and medications like SSRIs, ketamine can provide fast and efficient relief without all of the unwanted side effects that come with many of the other medications on the market today.

But don’t take our word for it, listen to and read some of the amazing testimonials we have received from our clients recently.

Shawmynds is a beautiful place with beautiful and kind staff. Dr. Ahmad is so knowledgeable and uses evidence based practices to help her patients restore and improve their lives. I had a traumatic brain injury and with the sprivato treatments I can already see improvements in my anxiety and depression. From the first appointment I felt heard and truly cared for.

Walking through the doors into ShaMynds (Healing Center), the ambience from checking in with the receptionist followed by the nurse to intention setting with the therapist before, during and after ketamine therapy is like taking the metaphorical “red pill”. After the ketamine therapy sessions and walking out of ShaMynds (Healing Center), the experience is like using the integration process to re-entering everyday life of the matrix with fewer of the metaphorical “blue pill” side-effects, replaced with new or refined tools for overall healing.

Ten out of ten highly recommend! I have been coming here for over a year and I used to tell people I have achieved years of therapy in a few visits and now I say no amount of therapy could have helped me achieved what I have gained from this facility. Every staff member has become a part of my life and has impacted me in a positive way since I began treatment. Earlier this year, I completed TMS treatment here. I had 3 concussions which left me with severe insomnia, mental confusion, difficulty concentrating, memory issues, I had trouble focusing my eye sight so I had to wear glasses for years. After completing treatment I no longer require glasses, I not only no longer struggle with insomnia but I am sleeping through the night and feeling so much better because that. My hearing improved. My cognitive ability improved and my quality of life improved. I did not know what to expect to gain from treatment and these turned out to be unexpected perks I never thought I would overcome. This place has healed me in ways I never dreamed possible and I am so thankful to have the opportunity and blessing to get treatment here. I am so grateful for this amazing team doing phenomenal work to heal me to my best self yet!

Thank you, I walk with a calmness in body and heart today! I have no words. I have no judgment on myself anymore. Wow! Did ketamine give me what I was seeking?

I am a disabled veteran with PTSD and a bunch of other issues (mental and physical). I had tried the ketamine that can be mailed to you (through a different company), and found good enough results that I wanted to pursue it the proper way- in a clinic, with a doctor, with therapy and tools to succeed. So I reached out to the va and they enrolled me in community care for the iv ketamine treatment. The first place they sent me to was closer to me, by a lot, but they only focused on you getting the ketamine… not doing the work to get better. So I asked for a new clinic, and they sent me to ShaMynds. It was a night and day difference. They do a bunch of intake exams. Bunch of labs. Figure out where you are at and how to best help. They are patient and calm and help you work through everything. They are an amazing place that focuses on whole health . It’s the first place I’ve felt safe and felt progress. If you get a chance, go. I will consistently make the 45 minute drive to this place because it’s worth it.

If I could give Shamynds 6 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would. I’m a Veteran, and over the past 20 years I have really struggled with mental health. I came across information that that our VA now approves such therapies, and Dr. Ahmad’s approach to ketamine therapy has been nothing short of transformational for me. Their team provides such a welcoming environment and experience, well worth the wait to get seen. Healing starts with the person being treated and they always focus on you! The team at Shamynds isn’t just facilitating therapy—they’re creating a space for true breakthroughs. I’ve been able to find peace, direction, and renewed confidence in my journey, and I attribute much of that growth to Shamynds. For anyone considering ketamine therapy, Shamynds is the platinum standard. Their work is powerful, their impact is real, and their dedication to healing is beyond compare. Highly recommend!

Transformative Healing Experiences at ShaMynds Healing Center As I continue my journey with ketamine therapy, I am consistently impressed by the exceptional care and professionalism I receive at ShaMynds Healing Center. From the moment I walk through the door, I am greeted by the friendly, supportive, and uplifting staff. The entire team works together, from Alyssa, & Jessica P. [receptionists] to the Cynthia Beermann, [office manager], Lauren, [Nurse] and Akia, [LVN]. Everyone is not only highly professional but genuinely caring, making each visit feel personal and positive. In passing while in the Center for Ketamine therapy, Stefanie, [Psych Nurse Practitioner], always take a minute to say hello or ask me how I am feeling. The acknowledgements are greatly appreciated. Aspects that stand-out is the comprehensive approach to my treatment. For example, the staff’s attention to details such as blood pressure monitoring, along with nutritional and weight loss advice which has had a significant impact on my overall mental health. I feel a greater sense of well-being because of this holistic care in combination with my ketamine therapy. Jessica Julian [LMFT] at ShaMynds is particularly exceptional. As an Army veteran dealing with medication-resistant PTSD, depression, and anxiety, I appreciate the thoughtfulness and dedication she brings to each session. Through our work together, we’ve uncovered physical and emotional traumas from my childhood experiences and vulnerabilities. Ketamine therapy is gradually helping me unravel these deep-seated issues, revealing patterns and conditioning that I hadn’t fully understood before. For example, experiencing culture shock of relocating from the country way of living and being relocated into the fast pace of city life at an early age. The guided ketamine sessions, supported by a meditation practice and ongoing therapy, has created a safe space to explore and examine memories, behaviors and patterns that may be the root of my struggles. Follow-up appointments and practical tools provided from Jessica Julian helps with the integration process in-between sessions. Thanks to the compassionate care of Dr. Ahmad and Jason [Therapist] who takes a special interest in the healing of veterans who continue suffering from various emotional traumas after military life. I continue to learn how to recognize habits and patterns and apply the necessary tools when triggered or have intrusive thoughts. I have work still to be done, I’m hopeful for the future and optimistic that with continued support, I can manage my conditions more effectively, and maybe one day doctors and science might find a cure soon to help all suffering Veterans. Thanks to all ShaMynds staff professionals who work behind the scenes. CL

If you are considering KAT or other wellness modalities as part of your mental health practice, I highly recommend working with the team at ShaMynds. I was fortunate enough to participate in a 6-week KAT program in 2024 and was humbled by the warmth, safety, and guidance I experienced throughout the process. Dr. Ahmad, Jessica, Akia, Lauren, Cindee, Alyssa - and everyone else I've encountered at ShaMynds are not just impeccable professionals, it's clear they truly care about the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of their clients.

This was life-changing. It is an experience I will carry with me for the rest of my life. The CPTSD and the major event that I visited ShaMynds to address was traumatic on a level most people don't experience. I was absolutely terrified to try this approach. Cindee (who is wonderful!) told me "we are where people go when nothing else has worked." That was true for me. I have tried countless things that helped temporarily, but nothing that fundamentally transformed the way I perceive myself and the world. So I pushed through the fear and tried it. I do feel it is very important to have an established, trusted therapist that you can talk to before and after treatments to make the most of them. I have never once received the impression that Dr. Ahmad is "in it for the money" as has been suggested, and was shocked to see that review. She was kind, compassionate, and validating. She took her time with me and every single person in the room equally. Nobody was treated with inequity as far as I observed. Rather, it felt like a warm and caring community. When I needed my hand held through the more difficult moments in the treatment, they were right there, and stayed there until I gave them the "I'm ok" hand squeeze. Dr. Ahmad knew that I had worked through quite a bit in my session, and made a point to come and talk to me afterwards to offer support. This treatment has unlocked my ability to see myself in a new way, to rewire my most traumatic experiences, and leave feeling empowered instead of defeated. I am still in awe that it was even possible. And that the results are still with me. I will never see myself the same way again, and I have Dr. Ahmad and her wonderful team to thank for that.

Discovering ShaMynds Healing Center has been an incredible gift. From the very beginning it has proved to be a place of healing and hope. The staff genuinely cares about their clients emotional and physical health. The atmosphere is serene and inviting. The infusions are given with a professional therapist or Dr Ahmad herself, monitoring for safety and therapeutic input. Nourishment of dates, nuts and fruit is provided after the infusions to help reset your body’s homeostasis.

Shamynds' Narrative Medicine workshops are groundbreaking healing experiences, using the power of story to heal and integrate life's biggest challenges. The facilitators create a safe and open environment of non-judgment, curiosity and compassion, allowing creativity and connection to flourish. In this space, participants can process their unconscious through creative exercises, inspiring deeply meaningful reflections upon their healing journeys and forming resonances with one another through courageous sharing. I cannot recommend these workshops enough for anyone who is willing to go a further step in moving towards wholeness. I attended these initially as a researcher but soon became a participant and was moved by each and every session I experienced. Special stuff!

My personal experience trying to find a way to navigate all the tribulations I have experienced in life have been difficult. It is thanks to Dr. Ahmad, therapists, nurses, front desk, and everyone involved, are a great supporting team. I, without hesitation, recommend ShaMynds Healing Center treatments to anyone and try K.A.P at least once in their lives! It is a game changer! Having a great support group to help a person to process certain things is key towards healing and understanding of one’s self. I invite anyone, struggling w/ anything, mentally, physically and spiritually, to come in w/ an open heart and find a treatment best suited for their specific need! Thank you, Dr. Ahmad and everyone at ShaMynds healing Center. Best wishes, P.M

I’m incredibly grateful for the entire ShaMynds staff, whose support has been instrumental in my healing journey. Having qualified personnel by my side to guide me through my experiences has brought me closer to understanding the root causes of my suffering. ShaMynds' integrative approach has equipped me with tools for spiritual experiences that foster healing of my mind, body, spirit, and soul. Through several ketamine journey experiences, I have noticed the integrative process gradually influencing my daily life, helping me cope with the constant stressors and triggers caused by PTSD, depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts. The combination of ketamine therapy and Narrative Medicine Workshops at ShaMynds has enabled me to express myself creatively through writing and journaling. This practice helps me externalize my thoughts and see my experiences clearly on paper. As I continue to learn about self-compassion, my goal is to apply compassion to reactive situations as they arise, to the best of my ability. This can be challenging, especially when stepping out of my comfort zone or being triggered by intrusive thoughts or experiencing hypervigilance. Nonetheless, I am committed to this path of healing and growth. CL

Dr Ahmad and the outstanding staff and services at the healing center have had a profound effect on my mental and physical health and well being. After decades of suffering debilitating cptsd and being a trauma survivor I was despondent and open to trying alternative therapies. I honestly felt hopeless at times and the therapy offered through ShaMynds had a profound effect on my mental, spiritual and physical health and well being. Dr Ahmad was present and actively engaged with my care answering all questions with genuine kindness and authenticity. I was at ease knowing she and her staff were aware of my history of hypertension as I was monitored closely. In a world where it is easy to be despondent and lose hope, the treatment at the clinic has been life changing. The anxiety I suffered has diminished significantly and I am learning to trust again, to believe. In addition, the clinic offers a holistic approach incorporating therapy, yoga, and group support sessions with a strong emphasis on one’s spiritual well being. I highly recommend ShaMynds healing center as the results speak for themselves.

I have been undergoing ketamine-assisted-psychotherapy since February 2023. I was a patient at ShaMynds for nine months. My overall experience receiving treatment was positive. The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, my therapist and guide were nothing short of amazing, and ketamine has been pivotal in my C-PTSD healing journey. However, I noticed a shift in my quality of care once I concluded my initial series of infusions as cash pay and switched to coverage under the VA Community Care. Dr. Ahmad was suddenly absent from infusion appointments. The once warm and welcoming energy in the office became distant and cold. Staff appear to be overextended and staffing changes were more abundant. Had it have not been for the inconsistent and diminished care, I’d be more inclined to recommend their services, but I highly recommend ketamine as a tool for healing.

The people at Shamynds are the absolute best. They are very caring, experienced, and their style of treatment is top notch. I would recommend this clinic over any other clinic in Sacramento or online/at home Ketamine Therapy. Having a safe environment and an experienced therapist there is very important. I have had 9 sessions and have not experienced any depression since I began. The medicine is safe and comfortable. If you are thinking about getting treatment, go for it! It’s worth every cent. My life and outlook has completely changed for the better and I hope that more people can find relief from their suffering and trauma.

This program is saving my life. I’ve lived with treatment resistant depression for over 20 years, and have struggled with other mental health diagnoses as well (ptsd, anxiety, substance abuse). I’ve been through years of talk therapy, tried around 15+ psych meds, been to inpatient and outpatient programs, support groups, and even tried Spravato for a number of months before my intake at Shamynds (which helped a little bit while I was taking it, but its effect faded almost instantly after each treatment). A clinician of mine at a treatment center I attend recommended Shamynds, after my treatments with spravato weren’t as effective as I had hoped. I signed up for the MetaMynd package (intravenous ketamine with therapy). The entire process flowed quickly and easily from the phone consultation and intakes to the ketamine sessions and into aftercare. The staff are all such incredibly sweet individuals. Kati and Laura at front desk are so kind and helpful and Dr Ahmad and my therapist Kirsten are very skilled, easy to talk to, humble and compassionate people. The nurses are also awesomely kind and gentle. The atmosphere at the clinic is very welcoming and I felt/feel very cared for there. Ketamine did not magically erase all of my symptoms of depression, anxiety and ptsd but it definitely took a huge chunk out of the intensity of those symptoms. As of about two weeks ago, after finishing the initial 6 sessions of intravenous ketamine with psychotherapy, normal everyday stressors don’t send me spiraling into pits of despair or suicidal ideation. It doesn’t feel like I’m constantly trying to distract myself from having my next mental breakdown. My family and friends have been noticing that there’s more light in my eyes and that I seem to be “doing much better”. And probably most importantly, ketamine woke up the part of me that genuinely wants me to take care of myself- which in itself is huge because I struggled with intense self-hatred for almost all of my life. It’s been easier to be kind to myself, to treat myself with compassion and to just relax and enjoy doing the things I enjoy doing. This is still blowing my mind. Also, by the way, ketamine is not scary at all, it feels like a warm cozy blanket filled with all the love and care that I always wanted to have and feel but drowned in depression instead. It feels magical, mystical, beautiful and healing. And it can also change stressful memories into more meaningful and healing ones (which I did with my therapist Kirsten and it was nuts. The memories have been altered into non-traumatic ones when I remember them now). I highly recommend Shamynds. I highly recommend the MetaMynd package. And I highly recommend Ketamine assisted psychotherapy in general, if you are struggling with depression, ptsd or anxiety. The work I’ve been doing with these amazing individuals is changing and saving my life. I am so grateful for Shamynds and always will be.

I cannot say enough about the entire team at ShaMynds Healing Center. They make you feel safe and cared during the entire process, from scheduling, to the journey, to aftercare. I came to them a few months ago in really bad shape. I had been experiencing dark depression for about 8 months with debilitating anxiety. After my first session, I felt night and day better. There wasn't this profound thing or epiphany of any sort that happened during my journey, it was more like, the next day everything was just different. My significant other also recognized the swift change. Because we are so closely connected, he was having chest pains during those 8 months, and his pains went away the next day following my first appointment. By healing myself, I am able to help others heal too <3 I will admit, I was apprehensive at first about spending the money for my health, but I decided to not let fear dictate my healing, so I went for it. After the first session, I knew that this treatment was for me, so the paying the money didn't matter anymore. I am thankful that the medicine showed me that. From my full heart, thank you to everyone at ShaMynds Healing Center. You have already changed my life in ways I cannot fully express.

Came to ShaMynds in attempts to find a way to heal myself and lower the amount of self harm thoughts. My struggle has been ongoing over the past thirty years, with multiple hospitalizations and different medications. After research on the use of Ketamine and discussion with my mental health providers at the VA I was allowed to start treatment. After the first visit, my suicidal ideations were gone, and I continued to grow with the help of the therapists and providers at ShaMynds, I continue examine the path I am currently on, and see colors where before everything was in black and white, and the path blocked by my self harm now opened to healing and rebirth.

My deeply existential nature means that sometimes I get lost in the web of consciousness, and don't know my left from my right. I had spent half a decade in psychoanalysis, and felt ready to explore my psyche using a different modality - which is when I found ShaMynds. ShaMynds is a very special place, and was exactly what I was hoping to find... A clinical setting - meaning nurses, doctors, and trained therapists - to safely explore, and untangle my knots. I got exactly what I needed.

The years of searching for an answer are, dare I say, over? For the last 20+ years I’ve been searching for that missing link, that secret that everyone with a smile on their face seems to know, but isn’t telling me. The grasping at - ‘this must be the solution that will fix me, I feel it!’ Only to be let down by the new exercise, supplement, diet, naturopathic doctor, medical doctor, various programs, mindset work…. ALL. THE. THINGS. Not to say those things don’t work, they just didn’t work for me. In the last 20 years I’ve been diagnosed with depression, then depression + anxiety, then PMDD, and everything I ever did for all those things always fell short. Inevitably, I would hit bottom again, even though…I have such an incredible life full of experiences, adventure and most importantly, true love from a man who does and will do anything for me. It is maddening to have such a uniquely incredible life, yet feel so empty and lost. Finally, last year I got the diagnoses that ticked every box, that made so much sense, that finally made me feel a whole lot less crazy….PTSD. I then began researching, understanding and seeking out support to live with PTSD, because the truth is, there is no cure. But, that doesn’t mean that emptiness and despair are there forever. Fast forward several months of trauma therapy and not feeling like I’m making enough progress and as a last ditch effort, I decided to try ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with ShaMynds Healing Center. In this place where I was full of fear and desperation, telling these strangers ‘this has to work,’ I found myself. I had this vision of what a happy and healed Lindsey would be like, look like, act like, live like, love like, I wanted her so badly, so desperately. With the help of Dr. Ahmad and Meg Lear I have not only found her, I’ve gone beyond what I even thought was possible in becoming the Lindsey I deserve to be. Dr. Ahmad and Meg are true heroes, I owe my life to them, and not only that, but I found out how to be my own hero too and that is surely something to celebrate. KAP with these heroes, a lot of hard internal work and following their specific guidance has helped me process my trauma, develop healthy coping skills, calm my nervous system, think differently, react differently or not react at all. It was the key that unlocked so much that I had buried into the depths of my being. I am enlightened to how amazing my life truly is and for the first time in my life, I actually FEEL it. I feel what I thought was impossible. As crazy as it feels to say out loud, “I forgive my abuser and am grateful for the experiences that brought me here.” Regardless of how traumatic my experiences were, I would not be who I am now without them. My deepest appreciation goes to the team at ShaMynds for giving me my life back, for introducing me to myself and for now being able to live as the best version of myself that those who are most important to me, deserve. If you’re struggling as I was, I encourage you to find a way to do this. To desperately commit to all the things that are a part of KAP and integration. You may just save yourself. You may just find yourself. I realize I’ve shared something so close and personal here and that I’ve made myself vulnerable, but I feel the responsibility to pay it forward, to share about my experience. Maybe in doing so, someone else can be saved too. And to the person who shared their experiences with me, ‘thank you.’

ShaMynds is a kind and professional place. Every member of the staff is great and makes you feel welcome. Dr. Ahmad is incredible. I have never had a doctor who really took the time to listen. Her suggested healing journey has been wonderful. I have learned so much. I cannot recommend ShaMynds enough. They are helping me become me.

My journey to healing at SHAMYNDS was met with grace and compassion from the first time I called. Every staff member took the time to answer all my questions and always have time for me. The entire process was easy to understand and very reassuring. I can’t recommend Ketamine highly enough to anyone struggling.

ShaMynds has brought a focus of calmness and wellbeing to my life. It’s not just about the ketamine therapy, which has been very beneficial to me, but also about the way the staff cares about me. When I walk in the door I immediately feel happy and supported, never rushed. I am enjoying the weekly yoga class in a small intimate and total zen environment. Thank you so much ShaMynds

I highly recommend ShaMynds for people who are not satisfied with their experience of life and are willing to work to change it. It's been a year since ShaMynds assisted me with their MetaMynd package. There has been an almost complete reduction in pain from osteoarthritis in my hands and feet. Anxiety, which was once such a familiar feeling that I could have called it 'friend', has been on hiatus since introducing it to the ShaMynds team. It was not the easiest thing to do, but it definitely ranks as one of the most valuable and long-lasting investments in healthcare. I highly recommend Jaya as your guide. Thanks so much guys!

I absolutely love everything about ShaMyds! The ambiance is sublime, being supportive of healing and growing. The staff are kind, gentle and professional. I am so looking forward to my treatments. However, the Psychedelic Integration Art Circle was a totally thrilling. To be in the company of lovely staff and co-journerers and to immerse in art so affirm the metamophasis I am manifesting. Thank you Shamynds and thanks for your super energy!

ShaMynds healing center is amazing, and is actively saving my life. I suffer from sever treatment resistant depression, and so far the treatments from ShaMynds have been the only thing to make an impact on my depression. The doctors, practitioners, and staff are wonderful people who really want to help their patients. The rooms are comfortable, the office is welcoming. I really can't say enough good things, or recommend ShaMynds more if I tried.

Received therapy for my depression/anxiety at this clinic and had extremely positive and comfortable experience. The providers take their time to listen to you carefully. I had blood work done that no other doctors in the past have considered checking. The ketamine therapy itself is very transformative and helped me reconnect to myself, my intentions and my spirituality. This experience really helped me through a difficult time in my life and I would strongly suggest it to anyone who is looking for treatment for their depression.

Treatment and care at ShaMynds is not a clinical nor cold experience- quite the contrary! I feel so very cared for and supported during one of the hardest years of my life. This team collaborates to put my healing before anything else- and I am forever grateful. I honestly have a hard time articulating something so personal in professional terms- yet they are consummate professionals- every single one of them. I have some unique medical considerations that pertain to my personal journey - and the Doctors took all of that into consideration along with my therapists and nurses and the front office staff. I seriously love this group— and the way they helped me out of a very acute, depressive season.

The most amazing place and experience yet!! I highly recommend!! While everyone's experience will be different and completely their own, you will leave feeling and becoming a new and better version of yourself...that's if you are intentional with the process and you actually want it. This is not a one time process, this I would recommend various therapies to receive a maximum impact and change.

I came to ShaMynds with severe depression, anxiety & PTSD. I had tried many meds & lots of other therapy’s that helped, but only took me so far. I was simmering in misery & believed that’s where I belonged. Ketamine helped me get my life back. This center is amazing - the staff is warm, kind & loving. They changed my life!
