Lumin Health – Newton, Massachusetts Ketamine Clinics

Having battled profound, treatment-resistant depression for over three decades, I am grateful to have found Lumin Health. This is not my first rodeo with ketamine; I received IV infusion at a world-renowned Boston hospital. It worked, but I did not matter as a patient. Subsequent to that, I tried esketamine elsewhere. Not as effective in my brain as is ketamine. And again, little concern for me, the patient, as a thinking, feeling individual. Dismal. Was overjoyed by my first ketamine-treatment experience at Lumin! The space is calming, from the soothing color of the walls to the decor to the subtle music (ocean waves for me) if desired, and kind reception. And then there is Kerry. Kerry is the NP who administered my first seven treatments. Her warmth and genuine concern is palpable. It radiates and permeates my being, enhancing the impact of ketamine for me. On day one, Kerry was up front in stating that the drug treatment alone is not the answer to all prayers. It was time for me to do the work on the deepest level, rewiring pathways in my brain that had evolved over decades to cope with/compensate for dysfunction, trauma, etc. Wow. Light-bulb moment! This made so much sense and I jumped in. Years of mandatory psychotherapy accompanied my anti-depressant journey. More recent work with a former RN-turned-MSW/life coach and guide has proven helpful. But none of this compares to Kerry’s on-the-spot insight into and assessment of my world and journey as I have briefly shared struggles and efforts to move forward. She is nothing short of brilliant. When I connect with her before receiving ketamine treatments, I feel embraced with her full support and heartfelt intentions for my healing. My brain recognizes this in her and allows me to enter into the deepest space while under the anesthetic of ketamine. I am in a very safe space with Kerry. Also to be noted is the kind, compassionate energy of Jonah, medical assistant and patient advocate. He has been my hand holder during many treatments when I am barely aware. I feel an alignment with him; his background in neuropsychology, music and spirituality could not be a better fit for me. Lumin administers ketamine via shot. My previous experience involved a 40-minute IV drip. Noticeable difference in my brain’s response; the shot has yielded much quicker and more substantial healing from depression. My journey continues…at Lumin Health! Grateful for the facility and the gift in Kerry.

I knew nothing about Ketamine treatment until my psychiatrist recommended it and it has been a life changing experience. This team is phenomenal, I felt very taken care of, seen and heard. Kerry was an integral part of my experience and I feel lucky to know her. Gene was amazing in handling logistics and scheduling, couldn’t ask for a better team. Thank you so much!!

My experience at Lumin and Ketamine therapy has been amazing. I knew nothing about Ketamine treatment and after my first phone call with Gene I learned so much and soon decided to proceed. Julie who guided me through most of my treatments was so kind and helpful. I always felt safe and comfortable. Ketamine therapy for me has been the most effective treatment of my depression and anxiety I have ever tried. Years of different meds plus TMS have masked my symptoms and eventually stopped helping. The Ketamine experience for me is like a deep meditation that provides me with great perspective, all the while lifting my depression and anxiety. I started Ketamine treatment at an extremely stressful and hard time in my life and it absolutely helped. I cannot speak enough of how much I would recommend Ketamine and more over Lumin Health.
