Pamela J. Havens is an exceptional psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She is kind, extremely knowledgeable in her field, and willing to go the extra mile for you. I highly recommend Luvita Psychiatry for compassionate and evidence based care. Depression, anxiety, trauma--they can help.

I have been in and out of offices relating to mental health for over two decades. In all my years of working with mental health professionals, rarely has there been any that are as comforting and supportive as those at Luvita. I actively look forward to going in for my infusions because I know that I can be completely open and vulnerable and that they will give me the support I need as I work through my trauma and mental health challenges. I have found it extremely difficult to find mental health professionals who make you feel like they genuinely care about your well-being and that it is not just a job for them, or they just want to prescribe medication and hope for the best. Doing these infusions can be a vulnerable experience, but knowing that when it's over I would have the team at Luvita there to support me, answer any questions or concerns I have and make sure I am doing OK, made each infusion a positive experience. Even if the infusion brought up something intense or traumatic, I could remind myself that once it was over, I could lean on them to help me understand why I was feeling that way and how the Ketamine is helping me heal and gain a better understanding of what I was experiencing. I have never enjoyed giving blood, having IV's or getting shots. At no point did I feel uncomfortable with the nurse's ability to get the IV setup to begin my infusion. If it was a bad experience, I likely would go into each subsequent infusion with immense anxiety about having the IV started, but I never felt any sort of negative association when the IV was being applied. Over the course of my 30+ years of mental health struggles, virtually none of the mental health professionals I have worked with have stood out in my mind as genuinely wonderful people who I will likely never forget having met. The sheer level of positivity I felt each time I stepped foot into Luvita was infectious and made me sad each time I left because I felt so comfortable being around these wonderful people. I felt like no matter what I was going through, how vulnerable or down I felt, I could talk to them and they would take a genuine interest and provide me with feedback, advice or suggestions on how I can deal with each situation. They were always happy to provide as much detail about every step of the process as I wanted and there was no question they would not answer in-depth. I would actively try to come up with as many thought provoking questions as possible in order to gain a better understanding for my own comfort as well as just the sheer enjoyment I would have when speaking with them regardless of the subject matter. Now that my round of infusions are over, it makes me immensely sad that outside of a few possible 'booster' infusions over the next several months, I will not get to see the folks at Luvita multiple days per week. No matter how bad of a day I had, I always looked forward to being in their presence to help lift my spirits. How each person may react to Ketamine or interpret what they experience or feel afterwards is different. But I can't think of anything different Luvita could have done to improve my experience. I think that for what these infusions may bring about for each person, you would be hard pressed to find a more suitable environment for venturing on a mental health journey such as this. The people I met at Luvita will forever remain in my mind for the positive experience they provided me and the hope they have given me for a brighter mental health future. They have given me hope that there are actually mental health professionals out there who are capable of caring about each person they see as if they were more than just a patient. Thank you to the team at Luvita for exceeding my expectations in every way and giving me positive experiences that I will hold onto forever.

Fresh perspective on life! The staff at Luvita was exceptional in their care and support throughout my entire experience. From my first appointment to the last, they created a welcoming and peaceful environment that allowed me to fully immerse myself in my journey. After the first session, I noticed a significant improvement in my mental health. The weight of my depression and anxiety had been lifted, and I felt more positive and optimistic. I was able to let go of past traumas that no longer served me and focus on the present moment. My creativity and confidence have also returned, and I am incredibly grateful for this treatment and its impact on my life. I highly recommend this option to anyone who is struggling with their mental health. The staff and experience will provide you with a fresh outlook on life and help you better your overall well-being. Jacob J
