I’ve been looking into this whole space for a few weeks now and honestly it feels like the wild west out there. Some places have fancy websites with stock photos and vague promises, while others seem like they’re run out of a strip mall with zero medical oversight. I tried searching for “ketamine therapists near me” and got a mix of results that made my head spin – one place wanted a $500 “consultation fee” upfront without even checking my records, and another didn’t even ask about my medical history before offering to book me in for next Tuesday. For those of you who’ve actually gone through with treatment, what red flags should I be looking for when vetting a clinic? I don’t mind paying for quality care but I really don’t want to end up at some cash grab operation that just straps you to a chair and calls it a day. Also wondering if a psychiatrist being directly involved matters as much as some people claim.
