Expanding access to at-home ketamine therapy is one of Mindbloom’s core objectives, which we're achieving by making access to treatment more approachable, affordable, and available.

Today, we’re proud to announce a big milestone in treatment availability: 50% coverage of the U.S. population.

You now have access to a team of licensed psychiatric clinicians, and dedicated Mindbloom Guides, who will provide personalized, transformational treatment experiences in the comfort and safety of your own home. This means no long drives to in-person appointments, no cramped waiting rooms, and no providers who have limited mental healthcare experience.

The level of care we provide speaks for itself: Over 90% of Mindbloom clients report improvement in anxiety or depression symptoms following Mindbloom treatment.

If you —or anyone you know— may benefit from working with Mindbloom, take our brief assessment to see if you’re a candidate.

Users with a personal or family history of psychosis should be cautious using any psychoactive substance, including ketamine, and discuss potential risks with your MindBloom^® clinician before proceeding with treatment.
The dissociative effects of ketamine may increase patient vulnerability and the risk of accidents.
