Ketamine Group Therapy
Taking action towards your health can be challenging—going ahead alone for many is much harder. We are firm believers that healing happens in community. That’s why we’re proud to offer our Bonita Springs, FL clients multiple ways to heal together as a community.
A huge benefit of group therapy is that clients have a chance to learn about the connections between their experiences and the experiences of others, contributing to a better sense of wellbeing and social connection.
Learn about the various group therapies and community events we offer at MY Self Wellness below.
Group Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine therapy is revolutionary for people suffering from symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain conditions, drug addiction, and more; especially for customers who have tried traditional medicine without success.
However, pricing can sometimes hold individuals back from seeking the treatment they need for healing. That’s why we’re proud to offer quarterly “Group Ketamine Therapy” sessions.
Hosted by our psychiatrist, Dr. Andrew Ferber, and therapist, Jessica Seibert, together they will lead you through healing and growth in a community setting. Group Ketamine Therapy is 60% off of private individual packages.
Note: An evaluation session is required prior to beginning treatments.
Embrace the Change Group Integration Sessions
If you’re a current client looking for a safe place to share your Ketamine or counseling experiences—or maybe you’ve completed your Ketamine treatments but still want to process your feelings in a group setting, then our monthly “Embrace the Change Group Integration Session” events is perfect for you. Please join us on the second Tuesday of each month at MY Self Wellness in the Group Therapy room.
Led by our resident psychiatrist, Dr. Andrew Ferber, guests are embraced by love and community—and are taken through a powerful program for opening up and letting go. The cost is $25 per session and events are open to all current and past clients, as well as their friends and family. Call our Bonita Springs, FL clinic to learn more.

Psychiatric Evaluation
Your first appointment will be with our psychiatrist, Dr. Andrew Ferber. During the 30 minute visit you will discuss your mental and physical health, both past and current as well as the reasons you are seeking ketamine treatments. If approved you will meet with one of our wellness professionals to go over your ketamine wellness plan. This is determined by a number of factors including current mood, mental health history, tolerance to medications and psychedelics, your assessment scores, and overall health. Your wellness journey is unique to you and, because of that, we custom tailor your ketamine treatment and any supplemental services to meet your exact needs. This can include psychotherapy sessions, integration sessions or groups, dietary planning assistance, yoga classes, meditation groups, healing circles, workout activities, and more.
Before Your First Treatment
Please carefully read the pre-treatment instructions concerning guidelines for your experience to be successful.
Setting Your Intentions
In order to facilitate a positive experience, both set and setting have to be taken into consideration. We have taken great care to ensure that the setting is relaxed and comfortable and we offer music, soft lighting, blankets, sleep masks, etc. in order for you to allow yourself to let go. But how do you prepare your mindset for an experience? The best way to do this is through setting intentions. An intention is a guiding principle for how you want to live and a way to bring heart and mind into alignment.
Your First Treatment
It is not uncommon to feel a little nervous or apprehensive prior to a session, especially the first one. You will work with our staff to find an appropriate dose during your treatment. Generally you will titrate up to larger doses in subsequent sessions which can lead to more profound experiences. No two experiences are the same and no one can tell you what you may experience. Learn about “Trust – Let Go – Be Open”.
Integrating Your Experience
Ketamine can do a lot of amazing things, but it cannot change your diet, habits, environment, or who you associate with. All of these things have to come from the individual and it takes courage and bravery to facilitate these changes. In the days and weeks that follow an experience, it may become easier to allow these changes to become a part of your usual lifestyle. However, it is important that if these changes are resisted the will to make these changes may fade. That is why it is imperative to reflect, integrate, and make changes directly following a session.
