The Kure Experience

Kure takes a different approach to behavioral health treatment by focusing on the client’s whole being – mind, body, and spirit. Kure’s approach is a blend of modern Western and Eastern techniques that can expand a client’s awareness, consciousness and understanding of the root causes of their mental and physical symptoms.

The Kure treatment program begins with preparing you to receive ketamine therapy.

Whether you turn to Kure for mental health concerns or pain management, our treatment plan begins with a phone consultation by a member of our medical team. After the consultation and a discussion about how ketamine therapy may be beneficial for you, we schedule your first session and make recommendations for both your comfort and to increase the efficacy of the initial treatment. Typically, a full series of treatments consists of six to eight sessions. In the days leading up to your first ketamine treatment, we may recommend breathing techniques for you to do on your own and other practices for mind and body balance. This preparation will aid in recalibrating your mindset – making your experience more tranquil and your therapy more beneficial. 

After your initial session, Kure’s medical team will follow up with you. In some cases, we will follow up after the first few sessions to discuss your progress and ensure that any of your questions or concerns are addressed. Upon completion of your series of six to eight sessions, the Kure medical team will discuss with you whether further sessions may be beneficial. However, we find that many clients respond well to the initial series and may not require additional sessions. Kure’s medical team may recommend additional techniques for you to integrate into your routine that maximize the benefits of your therapy. 

Should you ever feel the need for additional sessions or ongoing therapy, please call us to discuss your options. At Kure, your experience, overall wellbeing, and quality of life is of the utmost importance to us.

The Clinic

At Kure, we are confident that the moment you walk through our door you will realize that you are in the right place. Our well-appointed, yet unassuming, space has been tailored to your comfort, safety, and well-being. Though your treatment is medical and meets all state and federal regulations, our space is inviting and our team is exceptional. Every aspect of our office is designed with you in mind.

Kure provides comfortable reclining lounge chairs for treatment, air purifiers, natural lighting, individual iPads, noise cancelling headphones, eye-masks, and soothing music to make your time in our space as therapeutic as possible. Kure even provides a “couples” therapy room with a double reclining chair for those who may want to pursue treatment with a partner, friend, or parent or for those who may feel more comfortable just having someone sit alongside them as they receive treatment. We also have a relaxation room with plush rocking chairs and couches, spring water, salt lamps, and a water feature to bring you back to neutral – before and/or after your treatment.

It is the aim of our team to make you feel as though your time in our space is equally as healing as the ketamine therapy itself. Each medical team member is knowledgeable and compassionate and believes in the overwhelming benefits of ketamine therapy. Any questions you may have they can answer. Also, Kure believes that follow-up is crucial to your healing. We want to hear how you’re feeling throughout the course of treatment and will be with you the entire way. Please contact us to learn more.
