I had a wonderful experience with CIT. It was my introduction to Ketamine therapy and after…read moreresearching several different clinics in the area I decided to start (And will continue) with them. Their very warm, welcoming, unpretentious, and professional initial consultations separated them from the other clinics I spoke with. Before I entered the clinic in person I already had a rapport with a staff member who was a phenomenal guide. I was elated to see that the rooms were made perfectly to provide a comfortable and serene environment (Like, they seemingly hired a psychedelic interior designer/therapist with the goal and experience to create blissful and beautiful surroundings). The guides and the medical staff are all top notch and EVERYONE there is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, professional, and invested into their client's direct and long-lasting wellbeing. I would have been happy with the experience from a strictly medical (I.E. the infusion itself, direct monitoring, and after care), that combined with their invaluable and integral therapeutic services set CIT into a different level than other clinics (I've spoken with friends and family about other clinics and they were impressed and envious of the level of care I received). I have struggled with anxiety and depression for all of my adult life and ketamine therapy with CIT has been much, much more beneficial for my mental health than years of trying a plethora of different psychiatric medications and traditional therapy. This review is being written eight months after my initial sessions and I'm planning on returning to CIT for another one.  One of the things that made me hesitant to try ketamine therapy was my history of having many "bad trips" with prior psychedelic experiences. I sought out ketamine therapy for my anxiety and depression and to work on personal issues (PTSD, grieving the recent loss of a family member, social anxiety, etc.) so the thought of having a psychedelic experience was slightly unnerving considering past trips I have had. The infusion method of administration is great for a individualized doses and provides the benefit of being able to increase dosage during your session. The medical staff was amazing and compassionate and were able to help with emotional state and every time it began to feel overwhelming (I requested higher dosages after the initial infusion) but the guides themselves were stellar in helping me navigate any level of anxiety I had and always brought me back to a calm state and truly made my sessions not only therapeutically beneficial but actually enjoyable.  CIT is a wonderful clinic and highly recommend them to anyone interested in ketamine therapy.

Unfortunately for him, I had advanced information and experience regarding similar procedures being done worldwide, in Mexico, Panama, the Caribbean, Germany, Eastern Europe, etc. Rather than welcoming the depth and breadth of my research, information, and experience, the poor soul found it necessary to bestow a negative evaluation of my experience and research...and me. Strange as it may seem, he found it necessary to call me on under a pretense to find out my identity. I vote to give the seminar leader a vacation!

I worked with Christina V. two years ago for complex PTSD and trauma thinking this was a reputable…read moreand trusted organization. She retraumatized me by making me write out my trauma and reread it every day to myself and her while I was currently in an unsafe environment. I can say that this did not alleviate the trauma symptoms and rereading it and reliving it every day only made my symptoms worse which she gaslit me and reassured me that it would subside. The trauma has not subsided and I got fired from my job for having severe symptoms which I experienced alone loosing the ability to afford therapy. This is absolute negligence and comes from a dangerously uninformed non- trauma-informed lens. This approach is not empirically supported and she touts. This experience added to my trauma and I spent an insane amount of money only to be gaslit, retraumatized, and revictimized.

Dr. Kirschner is the first psychiatrist I've felt comfortable seeing for more than a few sessions, and I am positive that her support has made, and continues to make, a difference in my life (and, by extension, that of my family). She is *incredibly* insightful; this alone is worth "the price of admission". Yes, I'm admitting on a public website that I see a psychiatrist. (Whoop-dee-doo!) I might not normally do so, but Dr. Kirschner deserves accolades. And really, folks: we all have issues. If you're keen on tackling yours one way or another and could use some expert help, give Dr. Kirschner a try. My life is better for having met her.

From the owner: My belief is that therapy can help you gain new insights and a new perspective on how to connect…read morewith others. Effectively manage stress and pursue the life you desire. This discovery begins by approaching each concern with an open and collaborative attitude in an environment where thoughts and feelings are safely explored. An artist pursues their expression, through whatever modality, because something inside of them desires to be known, heard, make connections and spark feelings in others. This expression is not unlike the patient in therapy. There are parts of the self that want to be recognized and connected with. This is not always an easy process. There may be blocks both creatively and/or psychically keeping the artist/patient from allowing these parts to be known and understood.

I am so very thankful to work with Clare because I know I can "go there" with Clare…read more "There" is exploring all of the parts that comprise who I am. "There" is bringing her the stories and thoughts that I don't share with my friends or family. "There" is living out an on-going grieving process for my father, ambitions for my life, disappointment in relationships, stresses in career, existential angst about death, etc. And when I'm "there", Clare is walking me through it all with no judgment, and riding my emotions alongside me. Once I'm done getting it all out, she'll help me unpack the message and we'll come back from "there" to "here", together. "Here" is where Clare encourages me to be, even when I don't want to believe it. "Here" is where I'm compassionate to myself, others and living in flow. I'm sure Clare will help bring you back to "here" as well. I, like you, was once looking for a therapist on Yelp. I found Clare and didn't need to look again.

I worked with Dr. Maccarin for about seven sessions. Unfortunately, even after I asked to change…read moreour approach, she did not listen to me. I work best with strategies and tools; with Dr. Maccarin, I just shared my trauma and while she would reaffirm me - we never delved deeper into how it affects me today and what I can do to fix it. Additionally, she would tell me multiple times that she thought I might have a different disorder/illness, but then tell me it wasn't a formal diagnosis and give me no steps to get diagnosed. In our last session, I was extremely emotionally overwhelmed as I am going through a big life change right now. Because my mood did not match an email I had sent the night prior, one that I wrote over a period of time, when I was much calmer from not recounting the life change to my therapist, and was an agenda of things I wanted to address so I would not get sidetracked by my emotions - Dr. Maccarin suggested with just two minutes left in the session that I was bipolar. This was unprofessional and unfair. If you want to spend a chunk of money for someone to listen to your history and offer no suggestions, Dr. Maccarin is the way to go. But, if you want someone to listen to you and help you build a better life through strategies and guidance, please please work with someone else.
