What To Expect

Taking the First Step

Our philosophy is meeting you where you are.

Starting ketamine therapy shouldn’t feel like a leap into the unknown. At Pala Medicine, every client moves through the same four supported steps — beginning with a free, no-pressure consultation call and continuing beyond your session.
 
Here’s exactly what to expect at each stage, so you can begin with clarity and confidence.

Step 1

Free Consult Call

Every journey at Pala Medicine begins with a conversation. This free, no-commitment call is a chance to share what you’re going through, ask anything on your mind, and find out whether ketamine therapy is a good fit for you.
 
No pressure, no obligation — just honest answers from people who do this work every day.
 
  • 20–30 minute phone call, free of charge
  • Talk through your goals, questions, and concerns
  • Learn how our approach works and what treatment involves
  • Find out if you’re a likely candidate for ketamine therapy
  • Clear next steps if you choose to move forward
Step 2

Customized Treatment Plan

No two people arrive with the same story, so no two treatment plans are alike. Your journey starts with a thorough medical evaluation with Dr. Rahman, who reviews your health history, current medications, and goals.

From there, we design a plan tailored to you — the right dose, the right pace, and the right support.

  • In-depth medical evaluation with a physician
  • Personalized dosing and session plan built around your needs
  • Coordination with your existing therapist, if you have one
  • A clear picture of costs and scheduling before you commit

Step 3

Fully Supported Healing Journeys

This is the heart of your work with us: a series of six ketamine sessions, plus preparation and wrap-around integration support. You’re never alone in the process — a physician and certified integration coach are with you at every session, and integration support continues between visits so each journey builds on the last.

  • Standard series of 6 physician-administered ketamine sessions
  • Preparation and intention-setting before each journey
  • In-person integration immediately following every session
  • Follow-up integration support between sessions
  • Comfortable, home-like journey spaces
Step 4

Integration & Community Events

Healing doesn’t end when your session series does. We help you carry what you’ve learned into daily life through continued integration support and a community that keeps you connected — sound baths, group gatherings, and practices that sustain your transformation for lifelong wellness.

Continued integration opportunities:

  • Community events including sound baths and yoga classes
  • Guidance as you build lasting self-care practices and habits
  • A community that supports your continued growth
  • Small group and individual ketamine booster ‘maintenance’ sessions available as needed
