Boise Ketamine Clinic

Testimonials

When I first discovered this clinic, I was in one of the darkest places imaginable — completely suicidal and terrified for myself. I had just left a rehab facility that I thought would help with mental health, but it turned out to be something very different, and I left after only being there for 24 hours. I didn’t know where else to turn.I called the Boise Ketamine Clinic and got an appointment even though I honestly couldn’t afford it at the time. The treatment series cost a couple thousand dollars, which felt overwhelming — but it ended up being the best investment I’ve ever made in myself. It completely changed my life.During one of my early treatments, I truly thought I was dying - “Oh, how things in my mind suddenly flipped.” It was an intense, life-changing experience that I still don’t fully have words for. But from that point on, something shifted in me. My trauma, my anxiety, my PTSD — all of it started to finally make sense and heal in ways that years of therapy had only touched on.Since then, this clinic has carried me through so much — including a breast cancer diagnosis and surgeries, on top of already surviving stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma when I was 19. Through it all, the Boise Ketamine Clinic has been my safe place — a space where I’ve felt understood, cared for, and truly supported.Nykol, the owner, deserves special recognition. She is one of the most genuine, knowledgeable, and compassionate people I’ve ever met. She has spent so much time talking with me, sharing her wisdom, and offering guidance that has deeply inspired and comforted me. Her dedication to helping people heal is truly life-changing.The rest of the team is just as incredible. Marcela is an amazing nurse — kind, attentive, and skilled. The front desk staff is always accommodating, warm, and genuine. They go above and beyond to make every visit feel comfortable and welcoming.I can’t say enough good things about this team. I only wish this treatment was more widely available and covered by insurance, because everyone deserves the chance to experience this level of healing.I’m currently finishing the final stages of my breast cancer surgeries, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have made it this far mentally or emotionally without Boise Ketamine Clinic. It’s become a place I genuinely love — my safe space and my time to reconnect with myself.Forever grateful. 💛

Boise ketamine clinic has changed my life. I went to another ketamine clinic before and they were horrible. This clinic has been so flexible and supportive. They have amazing therapists and I continue to do it about every 3 months or when I have triggers. I never thought I would have this high quality of life. It’s changed every aspect of my life and CPTSD, MDD, and anxiety/agoraphobia. I highly recommend Marisa for a therapist trauma lead therapy session. Thank you everyone who works there!

Words cannot describe how amazing BKC is. The office is always incredible clean and comfortable. You are in individual rooms with doors shut while on your healing journey. Every single staff member that I have come in contact with has made me feel so taken care of, valued, and cared for. I have never once felt like I was just being rushed along and rushed out. While everyone’s experience is different, I appreciate the wide variety of options that they have to help you take care of yourself. I came in shy, hesitant, and nervous of what it was going to look like. Since then, I have only been met with kindness and sincerity.Due to the nature of what BKC does, it everyone’s treatment looks a little different. For me, I enjoyed being in their comfortable recliners, watching their lights on the ceilings, and the freedom to do what makes me comfortable. I love that I was able to be by myself while recording treatment all while having staff only a button press away. They provide music, blankets, weighted blankets, pillows, little snacks if you need them, candy to suck on, music, and more.I have never felt less like a burden. It felt like the staff knew me by name and made an effort to get to know me and my preferences. It created a safe environment for me to ask questions and do what I needed to do. I could not recommend them enough. I am actually sad I will no longer get to see them as regularly!

🌟 The Boise Ketamine Clinic – A Safe Haven for Healing⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Bringing my daughter to The Boise Ketamine Clinic was one of the most important decisions we’ve made in her healing journey. She lives with PTSD, trauma, and anxiety, and after trying multiple traditional therapies, we felt it was time to explore something new. We were guided with compassion every step of the way.She completed six IV ketamine sessions, and I can say with full sincerity: this experience brought hope, light, and true healing into our lives.🌿 Why We’re So Grateful:• Compassionate care: From the very first call, the staff was welcoming, informative, and kind. They understood our concerns, listened without judgment, and made us feel completely at ease.• Calming environment: The clinic itself is peaceful and thoughtfully designed. My daughter felt safe—something that’s not always easy when living with trauma.• Professional and knowledgeable team: Every member of the staff was caring and highly trained. They explained everything clearly, monitored each session closely, and treated my daughter with the utmost respect and dignity.• Results we could feel: After just a few sessions, we started to notice real changes—her anxiety began to ease, her sleep improved, and most importantly, she began to feel hope again. By the end of the six sessions, she described feeling “lighter,” “more in control,” and “more like herself again.”💬 From a mother’s heart:Watching your child suffer from trauma and anxiety is heartbreaking. But witnessing her come out of these sessions with a spark in her eyes, a softening in her shoulders, and a sense of possibility—that was everything.🙏 Thank you to the entire team at The Boise Ketamine Clinic for holding space for my daughter’s healing, for walking beside us with care, and for offering a treatment that made a real difference.⸻✅ Final ThoughtsIf you or someone you love is navigating the difficult path of PTSD, trauma, depression or anxiety, I wholeheartedly recommend The Boise Ketamine Clinic. This is a place of science, soul, and sincere healing.— A deeply grateful mother

Nykol’s knowledge of ketamine therapy is truly impressive. I recently sent a patient to Boise Ketamine clinic who was under my care for pain related issues and hadn’t made progress with her ketamine therapy at a different clinic. Afterward my patient’s feedback in Nykol’s care was as a provider who finally listened, helped her finally find relief from her symptoms and she was even able to improve her pain condition because of the progress Nykol helped her through with her depression and anxiety. I will continue to send my patients to Boise Ketamine Clinic, great provider to have in our valley.

It’s taken me nearly a year to write this review because it’s hard to find the words to describe how incredible my experience with Boise Ketamine Clinic has been. This therapy and the practitioners I’ve worked with at BKC helped save my life. I was at my lowest low with anxiety, panic, and depression in 2023. I’d forgotten how to have fun, how to relax, how to break out of the cycle of anxiety and panic over everyday life. After my first therapist attended and solo sessions, that mindset changed. I slowly started to gain the ability to regulate my nervous system, and with a few more sessions, I felt like I could breathe deeply again (figuratively and literally).The intake process is extremely quick and easy. Scheduling is a snap (I always text as an established patient.) The staff is amazing! The clinic is homey and welcoming. It has clean, comfy rooms with lots of blankets, soft lighting, sleep masks, and relaxing music. I bring my own music and blanket, but I love knowing if I forget one of these items, they have them. I appreciate my husband being welcome to attend every session, which immediately removes anxiety about trying something new.I’ve primarily worked with Sean Brosnan In the therapist-assisted sessions, and Marcela typically places my IV or gives the injection. I can’t express how wonderful, kind, caring, and generous Sean and Marcela have been. They’ve truly made a major impact on my life. I’m incredibly grateful for each person who greeted me, set up appointments, delivered medications, and listened to my ramblings during sessions. Boise Ketamine Clinic is a place of healing, a place to rest and reset. I can’t recommend them enough!

I’ve recommended friends and family. I love this place. I’ve done at least 12 sessions in the last year. It’s changed my life. Marcela is an amazing and caring nurse. Can’t recommend this place enough. I love that it’s not a dr office setting, it feels like home. Heated blankets, headphones with soothing sounds and dim lighting make for the best experience and long term benefits.

I am very impressed by Nykol, the owner. Her training to become both a CRNA and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner speaks volumes to her commitment to using Ketamine in the most therapeutic way.

I had 10 sessions at this clinic and I was satisfied with 9 out of the 10. I adore their kind, welcoming staff. Nykol is very knowledgeable and explains everything to you. Their calming environment made me feel safe and comfortable to be able to enjoy the experience and make the most out of the treatment. Ketamine has been a literal life saver for me when I thought nothing would ever help. Even their receptionist is amazingly kind and she always returned my calls. They were accommodating and flexible with the schedules to make sure I got the treatments I needed. I highly recommend choosing BKC!

after about 10 years of fighting mental illnesses and finding nothing to help with my constant suicidal ideation, this clinic has changed my life. i can now feel things clearly and pinpoint exactly where my trauma comes from and work through it in a calm, peaceful environment with the most wonderful staff, especially marcela!! she is so caring and you can really tell she loves her job and loves her patients. nykol as the owner did a wonderful job at explaining everything about the experience at my first session. i’ve been coming here for over a year now and just getting boosters. if you’re ready to take control of your life and mental health, give this a try!!!

This is the ultimate healing medicine. I believe everyone can benefit from this treatment so if you’re on the fence, get down from it so you can feel and think better.This is also the ultimate clinic to visit. It feels safe as everyone working there is lovely. Compassion is on the forefront of what they do.
