Nepenthe Wellness Center - Ketamine Therapy — Ketamine Clinic in Cedar Park, TX

Absolutely amazing experience, I want everyone to do Ketamine therapy here! Nepenthe has been amazing to work with, you can tell they really care and are with you every step of the way. I've been for my initial IV ketamine appointment and honestly, I was really nervous but the team made me immediately feel comfortable, the atmosphere is SUPER cozy and comfortable couch recliner you sit in, I loved my experience here and can't wait to go back! I will be returning for the 6-8 sessions they recommend. Such a cool uplifting experience, I immediately felt a little lighter - go here!!!

The one star is for Katina, the NP who administered my ketamine infusion. She was the only positive of my experience. Beware, they only have one person to do infusions three days a week though. MJ, the scheduler, is very nice but extremely incompetent. I had my second infusion scheduled for 3/26 which had to be rescheduled to 3/31 because Katina was in the hospital. I received a confirmation email, text and voicemail confirming said appointment. I took an Uber there only to find the door locked and office closed. I called, and MJ answered and stated there were no appointments because Katina was still in the hospital and she thought someone had called me (nobody did). I then asked for a refund (they take your money prior to day of service) and also asked to be reimbursed for Uber costs. She said she would reach out to management but never did. I received my refund for service but not the rides. I contacted Christopher from management, he “looked into my complaints” and decided I was not eligible for Uber reimbursement. I also looked further into their website and realized I was never offered a therapy appointment with Austin Ketamine Clinic which they are supposed to set up. If you are struggling with your mental health and are looking for immediate relief, this may not be the place for you. I was told I needed to do 6 treatments in 4-6 weeks, that obviously can’t happen here. I hope Katina can find a better clinic to work for and hope she’s out of the hospital soon ❤️

I went through 6 IV Ketamine treatments at Nepenthe and it saved my life. I signed up for the treatments for anxiety not realizing that I was also depressed. Before my treatments all I did was sit in my messy house and watch TV all day. I was sleeping 12 or more hours a night. After my 3rd treatment I woke up the next day at 6AM. I work on cleaning my house and now I get out of my house and have made new friends. I cannot express how life changing this is. Thanks to Nicole and everyone at Nepenthe for your kindness and making sure that my treatments went well and were safe.

My experience with therapeutic treatments has been nothing but outstanding. The staff are always helpful and kind. Thanks for always taking care of me :]

After years of yo-yoing on and off of SSRIs and SNRIs from the VA, I needed to try something different. After a lot of research, I decided to try psych therapy. I landed at Nepenthe mainyl because of their reviews and proximity to my place. I cannot say enough great things about this place. I spent a few months going back and forth on whether or not to do this out of fear, but when i finally did decide, the team put me at ease and helped me every step of the way. The ladies who run this place (Nicole, Candice, and Denice) clearly cared about my journey. They always went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and my OCD needs were met prior to my session starting. I cannot thank you all enough for the experience.

Nepenthe Wellness and all those who work there are kind, caring, and understanding. It helped reset my brain and allowed me to take a step back from my negative thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend it, I just wish that I could have been able to afford more sessions with the coach. I think more sessions would have helped so much more. But ultimately, this is a safe and lovely place. They take precautions to ensure your health, safety, and comfort. If you’re apprehensive, ask questions and work with a therapist or coach if you can. It’s worth it.

Great experience, I highly recommend their IV treatment

Very disappointed with Nepenthe. I did Ketamine Infusions and I am not happy at all with the experience. I waited to post a review b/c I was told that even though during three or four of the six treatments I felt like I was just looking at a fish tank, the treatments were still working and I would improve over time. That has not happened at all. After a lot of research, I paid $2500 for six treatments and I was looking forward to what they might do for me. I have been in a funk was hopeful that I would get some improvement from Ketamine. Of the facilities that I considered, most mentioned that they provide access to a therapist to guide you in the process.I was told by Nepenthe that a therapist "would be in touch" but never heard from him until after my third treatment. When I did, he was obviously frustrated that treatment had begun before our first conversation. He said that is "not how it is supposed to go" and he had never heard of a facility starting treatment prior to that first discussion b/c that might be the most important part of treatment. It prepares the person, helps them understand what they might experience, and gives guidance in how to release bad past experiences during the treatments. Most of the clinics I researched said that during treatment they are in the room throughout to monitor and evaluate your response. At Nepenthe, I sat in a recliner, an IV was put in, and an underwater reef scene was put on a television in front of me. For all treatments, once the IV was started, the nurse left and I did not see her again until the end. In my case for the first three treatments I experienced basically nothing. During the 1st, I got a bit of the good feeling you get just before they put you under for surgery, and expected to experience more of the sensations I had read about others having, but I did not. After, I was asked if I experienced a "floating" or "out of body" sensation. I had not felt anything close to that. I told them about the good feeling, but other than a few minutes of that, I felt like I was watching TV. When leaving, I was encouraged to "journal" and given a small notebook. Because I had not experienced anything, I asked what I should be journaling. I was referred to their website and told there would be instructions there to help me. I didn't find anything helpful probably b/c I hadn't experienced anything. After the 1st treatment they discussed increasing the dosage. During the 2nd and 3rd treatments, I experienced even less than during the 1st. During the 4th treatment, I finally had some of the feelings but not as intensely as others mentioned. The following day however, I experienced what I felt was a boost in my mood which was encouraging, but short lived. After the 4th treatment, the nurse said she was going to increase the dosage more significantly. However, she also increased the infusion time which I believe had the impact of actually reducing it. That was the only thing that I could reason that would result in me feeling like I went back to watching TV during that 5th treatment. She said she was going to push the dosage higher again for the final treatment. The 6th treatment was definitely different from all the others and the first time I truly understood what people were talking about when they mentioned psychedelic experiences. I also had the same boost and it did last longer this time, but eventually dissipated. When I brought up my concerns after the 4th treatment, I was told that I could buy additional treatments for $400 each, but I should give it time b/c even though I had not felt anything for most treatments, it was still working. It's been almost 3 months now and no improvement. I believe it could have been helpful, however I don't think the dosage for most of the treatments was close to where it needed to be to provide a therapeutic benefit.
