About Us
Pioneering Modern Mental Health Care
At Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles (KCLA), we’re more than just a clinic; we’re your partners in a journey toward lasting mental wellness. Since our start in 2014, co-founded by Dr. Steven L. Mandel and CEO Sam Mandel, we’ve dedicated ourselves to revolutionizing mental health care, establishing ourselves as a trusted leader in innovative therapies.
Our Legacy: Setting the Gold Standard
We have pioneered intravenous (IV) ketamine infusion therapy, delivering over 35,000 infusions with an 83% success rate. Our dedication to safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction has resulted in our global reputation as “world-renowned” and the first and only ketamine clinic accredited by Quad A. We are known for establishing and maintaining the highest standards in the field. The extensive media recognition we’ve earned adds to our reputation as the most trusted leading clinic, and our 400+ five-star reviews from real patients validates it.

Vision
Our vision is to lead a future where mental wellness is a celebrated priority, innovative treatments are accessible to all without barriers, and the inner healer in each of us is nurtured and respected.
Mission
Transforming Lives Through Innovation and Compassion
Our mission is to pioneer compassionate, personalized, and innovative mental health care that honors the inner healer within each of us. Leveraging science, technology, and artistry, we strive to make transformative treatments accessible, independent of financial or political interests.

What We Do
We know mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we take a genuine interest in getting to know everyone who comes through our doors, or computer screens, so we can care for them with the best possible solutions. We offer tailored treatment plans, a multidisciplinary team, advanced technology, scientific innovation, medical expertise, and sincere compassion.

Specialized IV Ketamine Infusions

Additionally, we provide approximately 20% more medicine over a 40% longer infusion, leading to better results. Our preparation and integration support are unparallelled, and our roster of outside referral resources, such as qualified therapists, is extensive.
