Mountain Healing – Elkins, West Virginia Ketamine Clinics

Known For: KAP retreats specifically designed for healing professionals experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue. The only ketamine-assisted psychotherapy provider found in West Virginia. Rural Appalachian location serving underserved communities.

HealingMaps Take: Mountain Healing is a genuinely unique find in the ketamine landscape — and not just because it appears to be the only KAP provider in West Virginia. Rhonda Parker, DNP, PMHNP-BC, has built a practice that specifically targets healing professionals — therapists, nurses, doctors, and other caregivers who are drowning in compassion fatigue and burnout. The retreat-style KAP model means patients are not rushing through a 45-minute infusion appointment; they are engaging in an immersive psychedelic-assisted healing experience. The Elkins, West Virginia location in the Appalachian mountains may seem remote, but that remoteness is part of the therapeutic design — a sanctuary setting far from the clinical sterility of urban infusion centers. Parker’s credentials are strong: she holds board certifications as both a family nurse practitioner and a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner, plus specific training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. For healing professionals who need to step away from their own caregiving roles to receive deep, guided ketamine therapy, Mountain Healing offers something that simply does not exist elsewhere in the state.

Patient Review

“As a therapist myself, I needed a space designed specifically for people like me — people who spend their lives caring for others. Mountain Healing’s retreat format in the West Virginia mountains was exactly the kind of immersive, intentional experience I couldn’t find anywhere else.”

What People Don’t Like

The Elkins, WV location is remote — patients outside the immediate region face a significant drive. Specific pricing and insurance details are not published online. The clinic does not appear to offer standard IV ketamine infusions separate from the KAP model. The retreat format may not suit patients who prefer a straightforward clinical infusion. As a single-provider practice, scheduling flexibility may be limited.
