Portland Psychiatric Services LLC — Ketamine Clinic in Portland, OR

Deciding to do ketamine treatments can be a scary step into the unknown: what’s it going to be like? Will I be uncomfortable? How will I feel afterwards? PPS is both grounded in the science and protocol of this remarkable treatment for depression and PTSD, and the staff is warmly human and caring to normalize the weirdness of doing a drug with an outdated stigma. The treatment rooms are not clinical offices, but rather comfy and cozy and creatively beautiful. The environment is conducive to the healing that happens, and the staff is both professional and nurturing. I am immensely grateful for this resource in our community, and would not hesitate for a minute to put loved ones in their caring hands.

I have been seeing Brooks for 4+ years now and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she’s saved my life. From my very first appointment I have received personalized care. She listens to my concerns/symptoms and offers solutions, both medicinal and holistic, traditional and non-traditional. I have never felt judged or ignored and she understands the nuances of serious mental disorders. She’s been there for me during a crisis and for all the stable, maintenance sessions in between. She is brilliant, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, empathetic and passionate about her job. She has advocated for me and educated me on helpful resources (i.e. tenant's rights, navigating paid leave, the best lint rollers for cat hair). She has been a cornerstone in my journey to not just find stability, but to build a fulfilling life. Which unfortunately is not always the outcome for people in my position. I wish this kind of treatment was the norm for mental health care, but seeing as it isn’t, I feel incredibly grateful that I have Brooks on my team. 11/10

I am so grateful to have found Brooks. I was at the lowest time in my life, and she helped me change the trajectory. She has so much empathy for others; I feel seen and heard at every appointment, which is not the norm for me. She helps in any way she can, whether that’s adjusting meds, making suggestions on how to get better treatment from other providers on my care team, writing letters on my behalf, or making book recommendations. If you’re in need of a psychiatric provider, call Brooks. You will be happy you did.

This has been an incredible experience, worth the drive every time. Brooks was recommended to me by my regular therapist as a new med provider who advocates for what is best for her patients. Brooks is clear and kind - and funny! - and advocates for what is right for her patients. The experience of Spravato with both Jayne and Brooks has been one of support. They feel like friends who are genuinely invested in my care and well-being and I look forward to seeing them every week. Thanks to both of them for sitting with me when I need to access the lever and process some trauma and grief. This has been a transformative process and I feel like I’m just at the beginning. I highly recommend engaging with both of them and seeking them out for your care. Maybe it’s the Spravato, but I truly adore them - you will too.

I cannot overstate how fortunate I am to have found Brooks at Portland Psychiatric Services. For many years I had tried many providers and many medications, and had given up on not being depressed and feeling like myself again. Brooks listened to me and looked at everything that didn't work so we didn't go down the same unsuccessful paths other providers wanted to try again. And unlike the temporary relief I previously experienced, with Brooks I've been feeling well for almost five years! My family still comments on the improvement. I like Portland Psychiatric Services' cozy, comfortable office with parking instead of going into a hospital or office in a residential area with no parking. I can't think of enough good things to say about them, coming from someone who was previously "treatment resistant". Thank you!

I've been working with Dr. Jayne for years, and she's the best! She recommended Spravato as an option for my journey of mental health wellness. The Spravato treatment has helped tremendously, and Dr. Jayne and Dr. Brooks make a calm welcoming environment, with really creative cool treatment rooms, perfect for this treatment. Life transforming in my case! Thank you both for taking such good care of me!!

Both Brooks and Jayne feel like close friends. They are kind, helpful, genuine, and fun to be around. The practice is inviting, comfortable, and the experience personalized. I can feel their concern and know that they care. The Spravato, Brooks, and Jayne have made a positive difference in my life.

I’ve been seeing Jayne for years and recently contacted her for immediate help, before our regular check in. I had hit rock bottom. She told me about the therapy that she and Brooks are offering and I was very interested as other things haven’t worked for me in the past. I got started on Spravato and saw immediate results. Day by day, things are improving and I now have the strength I need to get through some difficult times. I believe in this therapy. Jayne and Brooks make you feel comfortable and safe. They’re very warm and easy to talk to.

They take the time to listen and adjust treatment plans according to what you need, finding real solutions to dealing with health issues instead of only pushing medications.

If you are on the fence about Psychiatric care, or need a better doctor to help navigate your situation. I highly recommend this provider. In an industry of extremely high demand and limited time and resources, it’s difficult to find a provider who really cares about their clients, makes time for them, truly listens to their needs, and has a breadth of experience. I am so incredibly grateful to have found Brooks and at a time in my life I needed more support than I could find anywhere else. The quality of care and attention to detail are cornerstones of the practice. Above all, the patience and consistent support have restored hope and are bringing balance back to my mind and family.
