Reviews
I suffered with depression for a VERY long time. When I went to Dr. Berniard for the consultation, I was honestly very pessimistic about seeing results. After my final session with IV infusion, I feel like that part of me is gone. I am very grateful for the service Elysian provided and would highly recommend it. Thank you Elysian staff for all the help you gave me.
I can’t express enough how grateful I am for this clinic. It bulldozed away some stuff that’s been holding me back majorly. I have done 3 ketamine infusions so far, aiming for 6 total. I feel an absolute difference, it’s totally changed my life. I probably wouldn’t have tried it if my friend hadn’t pushed me toward it since it does cost some $ but it’s absolutely worth the cost, life changing. If you’re thinking of it at all please try it, it’s honestly the best thing I could have done.
I suffer from chronic lower back pain and my current doctors are not progressive in that they shy away from alternative therapies. A friend of mine referred me here for my chronic pain after she had success with their CBD salves. I'll tell you, I was miserable from the pain. I can say that this salve has made such a difference in my pain and I don't have to take pain pills like a lab rat. I wish more doctors would explore these different modalities for pain.
I have suffered from depression for over three decades and have tried many different treatments including talk therapy, EMDR, CBT, DBT, along with a long list of pharmaceuticals. After a great deal of research on the positive results using psychedelics to treat depression and with the support of my family, therapist, and psychiatrist I decided to try ketamine. The journey was not simple. Before Elysian I tried two different ketamine clinics, one that administered ketamine infusions only and the other a ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) group. The group doing infusions was very mechanical with limited interest in understanding clients' individual needs. The KAP group was also very rigid in their approach and appeared to be more focused on 'mind expansion' rather than anything else. Elysian was incredible. They were warm and welcoming from the start. I got to meet the Matt Berniard, founder of the client and a veteran. He was clearly interested in my individual story and needs. We worked together to create a protocol that was right for me. The doctors at Elysian do the same with each of their clients rather than sticking to a rigid protocol. The doctor was with me with every infusion and available at all times. Together we created a model that was much more effective that the KAP clinic's model. We worked collaboratively with the doctor to determine the proper dosage, method of administration, and duration of the infusion. Just as important, I was able to have my therapist work with me to set an intention before the infusion. My therapist was also with me during the infusion and helped my recall and integrate the journey immediately/soon after the journey. It was a very worthwhile experience. I would certainly recommend Elysian to anyone interested in ketamine treatments or any of the other services that they offer.
The clinic staff are exceptionally professional. Scheduling was very easy and the whole infusion process was relaxing and pleasurable. The ketamine significantly reduced my anxiety and eliminated my negative thoughts. I would recommend Elysian wellness to anyone seeking alternative treatment. Well worth the money.
