OUR PHILOSOPHY

We were motivated by the tremendous success of ketamine treatment, which has been proven to rapidly decrease, serious depression symptoms, including thoughts of suicide. After researching the outcomes of ketamine, a drug that has been safely used in clinical practice for decades, we were excited to make ketamine treatment available to the many individuals and families plagued by debilitating mental health conditions in Utah.

Minds Journey is committed to providing the best possible medical care by using the latest monitoring and safety equipment. If you believe that ketamine therapy might be a viable treatment for you or a loved one who is struggling with mental health, we would like to help.
