Transformative Healing Begins Here.

At Empathy Grove in Portland, Oregon, we are dedicated to helping you rediscover hope and vitality through expert ketamine therapy and a full spectrum of holistic wellness services. Our experienced medical team specializes in evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and other treatment-resistant conditions, empowering you to regain balance, clarity, and joy in daily life.

  • 1-on-1 therapeutic support (you are never left alone).
  • Preparation and Integration sessions included.
  • A focus on long-term growth, not just short-term relief.

Standard medication and talk therapy can take you far, but sometimes the root cause feels
just out of reach.

If you feel stuck in patterns of depression, anxiety, or PTSD, you aren’t broken, you just need a different
key to unlock your healing. Ketamine therapy is that key.

We don’t just treat symptoms. We weave together advanced medicine, therapeutic depth, and intuitive care to support every layer of your healing journey.

Healing in Their Own Words

Read the honest experiences of those who moved beyond feeling “stuck” to find safety, clarity, and themselves again.
“I feel like this reintegrated entity that is me—whole in a way I’ve never felt before. I’ve discovered where I want to go, and I know I have choices. I’m no longer just surviving to die—I’m surviving to live. Now I can say with confidence: I’m excited for tomorrow, for next week, for next year.”

“I used to feel like a black hole—wadded up and heavy. Now I feel like a golden tree: tall, rooted, expanded. No longer emotionally slouching or shrinking—I’m standing tall, unapologetic in my space. I feel this most in my throat.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Rooted in both science and compassionate care, ketamine therapy supports individuals in accessing deeper layers of the psyche, fostering emotional insight, and creating new neural pathways for growth and transformation. 

It’s natural to have questions when exploring a new path to healing. We are here to provide transparent answers so you can move forward with confidence.

Is ketamine therapy safe?

Yes. While Ketamine is a powerful medicine, it has an excellent safety profile when administered by professionals. At Empathy Grove, your physical safety is our baseline. You are monitored continuously with hospital-grade equipment to track your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. 

Read more about ketamine therapy safety.

Ketamine therapy can produce a range of experiences, often described as a deep sense of relaxation, detachment from the body, or altered perception of reality. Some people report heightened emotional clarity, vivid imagery, and a sense of expanded consciousness.

We offer two methods of ketamine administration:

Intramuscular (IM) Injection

  • Ketamine is administered via a single injection into the muscle.

  • Effects begin within minutes and last approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

  • This method allows for a more intense and immersive experience.

  • A trained provider monitors you throughout the session to ensure safety and comfort.

Sublingual Lozenges

  • Ketamine is administered in the form of a dissolvable lozenge placed under the tongue.

  • Effects are milder and more gradual, lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes.

  • This method is often preferred for those new to ketamine therapy or for those who require a gentler experience.

  • Lozenges may be used in conjunction with therapy to facilitate ongoing integration work.

The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs. A typical course of treatment may involve 4–6 sessions over several weeks, followed by periodic maintenance sessions if needed.

Currently, ketamine treatments for mental health purposes are not covered by insurance. However, therapy sessions that occur alongside ketamine treatment may be eligible for reimbursement depending on your insurance plan.

We take:

  • Pacific Source

  • Moda (with the exception of the Beacon and Affinity networks)

  • Oregon Health Plan: Care Oregon plans only

  • Regence Blue Cross/Blue Shield (with the exception of the Legacy network)

  • United Health Care

    ASH (American Specialty Health) manages the insurance coverage of most Providence, Aetna, and Cigna plans. While we are not currently taking new patients with ASH coverage, we might be able to bill your plan directly. Check with your plan.
