Known For: Ketamine Care Clinic is North Dakota’s first ketamine treatment center, opened in 2017 in Bismarck. Led by board-certified nurse anesthetist Jacqueline “Jackie” Materi, CRNA, an active member of the American Society of Ketamine Physicians, the clinic serves patients from across North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, and even Canada.
HealingMaps Take: As North Dakota’s pioneering ketamine clinic since 2017, Ketamine Care Clinic has the longest track record in the state. Jackie Materi’s ASKP membership signals commitment to ketamine-specific best practices, and the clinic’s regional draw—attracting patients from five states and Canada—speaks to its reputation. The top choice for Bismarck and central North Dakota patients.

Patient Questions about Journey to Wellness
This 4-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Journey to Wellness treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Is Journey to Wellness suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Journey to Wellness treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Does Journey to Wellness treat chronic pain conditions?
Yes — Journey to Wellness treats chronic pain. They use IV ketamine for pain, which typically means longer infusion times and higher cumulative doses than mental-health protocols. Common indications include complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, and certain neuropathic pain syndromes. Pain pricing varies significantly by structure: per-infusion vs. multi-day inpatient packages — verify how this clinic structures their billing.
Does Journey to Wellness treat PTSD?
Yes — Journey to Wellness treats PTSD. Ketamine for trauma differs from depression treatment: dosing is often lower per session, and pairing the protocol with trauma-focused therapy between sessions is common. A reasonable consult question: whether PTSD patients here typically use ketamine alone or alongside an outside therapist.
Can Journey to Wellness help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Journey to Wellness treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
