Innerbloom Ketamine Therapy
January 2025
As we step into the new year, I’ve been reflecting on what it means to heal. At Innerbloom, we see healing as more than just relief from symptoms—it’s about rediscovering joy, rebuilding resilience, and reconnecting with the parts of ourselves we thought we’d lost.
For our patients, ketamine therapy has been a transformative tool in their journey. It’s not just the medicine—it’s the process:
- The preparation, where we set intentions.
- The infusion, where breakthroughs often happen.
- The integration, where insights are woven into lasting change.
One of the most powerful aspects of ketamine is its ability to reopen “critical periods” in the brain—a window of heightened neuroplasticity. This means that for a period of time during and after your treatment, your brain is uniquely open to learning, growth, and change. Ketamine can be a “reset” providing new energy and motivation “to do something”. The key is figuring out what to actually do!

Spotlight: Meet Cindy Nelson, LMFT
A cornerstone of the healing journey at Innerbloom is the expert care and compassion of Cindy Nelson, our certified ketamine-assisted psychotherapist. With her deep understanding of the integration process, Cindy has guided countless patients in making sense of their experiences, uncovering meaningful insights, and creating actionable steps toward lasting transformation.
Cindy encourages curiosity, and her thoughtful approach ensures that you have the tools and support you need to turn breakthroughs into enduring growth.
If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to work with Cindy and you're curious about starting ketamine therapy, I wholeheartedly encourage you to reach out to our clinic to book a session. Her expertise and warmth make her an invaluable part of the whole Innerbloom experience—you’ll feel the difference from the moment you meet her.

🥰 Featured Patient Story
"After 20+ years of depression and anxiety medications that were no longer working or never really had worked correctly, I was at the end of my rope. I decided to try ketamine and it was exactly what I needed to help start turning myself around. It’s been nearly 3 months since my first of six infusions, and I wake up every morning filled with hope instead of dread, a feeling that I had become so unfamiliar with that it surprises me every day."
