Medicine Within Ketamine Therapy — Ketamine Clinic in Bend, OR

I went into this experience unsure of what to expect and honestly pretty anxious. Dr. Emma set a steady, grounded tone from the beginning, which made it easier to relax and stay open. What stood out to me was the thoughtfulness around the entire process.... not just the session itself, but the preparation and the integration afterward. It didn’t feel rushed or generic. It felt intentional. The experience itself was powerful and meaningful for me, and I left with the tools to find the peace I had been looking for. I’m grateful I found Dr. Emma and had the opportunity to work with her.

I have grown tremendously through remote visits with Dr. Emma Andre at Medicine Within over the past year+. Dr. Emma’s integrative approach has introduced me to new insights and I have arrived at a place of much greater peace and enjoyment of life. I encourage anyone even remotely considering this type of therapy to schedule a consultation.

Dr. Emma and Dr. Derek have played a meaningful role in helping me get my life back. They are warm, welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable, and over the past six months I’ve felt genuinely supported and cared for. Their approach goes far beyond treatment itself—it’s thoughtful, integrative, and focused on real healing and growth. Their space is beautiful, calming and full of positive energy. I’m very grateful for the care I’ve received and can’t recommend them highly enough.

After a lifetime of carrying deep shame that no amount of prayer or traditional therapy could touch, my sessions with Emma opened a doorway to a felt sense of safety and okayness I had never known. Emma’s calm, grounded presence created a sacred and supportive container, allowing each journey to unfold with trust and grace. Her integration guidance was offered with humility and wisdom, rooted in authentic self-discovery. After three sessions and months of intentional integration, I find myself living with greater ease, wholeness, and freedom. Longstanding health issues are beginning to clear, and I no longer move through life from fear and shame, but from a heart-centered connection to my True Self. My deepest gratitude to you, Emma, for this truly transformative experience.

Dr. Andre is empathetic and has the tools to help with Depression. Changed my life.

I recently began working with Emma and feel incredibly fortunate and grateful to be in the hands of someone so capable, skilled, passionate and experienced. Her teams communication is flawless, and Emma takes it to the next level with her hands-on compassionate approach, and integrative post session work. On top of that Emma's space is absolutely beautiful and soulful. I highly recommend Emma and her services!

Doctors Emma and Derek are two of the most compassionate and skilled medical practitioners that I’ve ever worked with. With their many years of expertise and experiential wisdom, they have thoughtfully created a comfortable, community-centered approach to using ketamine medicine as a vehicle for healing for those seeking relief and for cultivating a sense of hope, especially for those that have seemingly tried everything else and still feel stuck or hopeless. I believe their overall approach and methodology is superior to some other models out there and I feel this way because the Medicine Within model goes far beyond the experience with the medicine itself – it is a comprehensive, integrative approach towards healing that seeks to compassionately educate, encourage, and empower patients to thrive in all facets of existence – emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I cannot recommend Emma and Derek enough and feel such deep gratitude that I have had the opportunity to work with and know them.

Such an amazing experience to open the mind, understand oneself, gain perspective for past traumas, and start seeing an enlightened path forward. Change doesn't have to be scary. Thank you!

I recently had the privilege of working with Dr. Emma Andre and the team at Medicine Within to address some persistent, long-term depression. After using traditional antidepressants for most of my life, I found that over the past year, they had started to lose their effectiveness so I started to explore other options—particularly naturopathic approaches. I read every review I could find and dove into the research … eventually landing on Medicine Within in Bend. (I live in Bend and Portland and could have chosen to do therapy in either location, but was most impressed with them) From my 1st first consult, I was impressed. She didn’t make me feel rushed … it felt like a genuine conversation with someone who actually cared. My treatment included an initial intake call, a group pre-therapy Zoom call, a five-hour group therapy session, and 2 post-session follow up calls. Going into it, I wasn’t sure what to expect and while I didn’t have any big ‘breakthrough’ during the group session … what surprised me were the noticeable changes in my behavior/actions the week after as I found myself reacting to situations in ways I wouldn’t have just a week earlier. So … if you’re looking for a team that truly cares, asks the right questions, and is deeply invested your well-being and outcome, I can’t recommend Medicine Within enough. I’m looking forward to continuing to use them and seeing where this work leads.

I have just started on my journey of healing with Dr. Emma and feel so many positives already from the short few weeks I have seen her. The entire experience so far has been more than I could possibly have imagined from her beautiful work space, prompt communication and personal care every step of the way, to the follow up and next step discussions which always leave me excited and feeling cared for and valued. Dr. Emma truly has an incredible skill set in her care for her patients and I would suggest their service to any and all who are in need of specialized, personal attention. I can only imagine how incredible I will feel when we reach the end of our current treatment plan, as one treatment has left me feel more free than I have been in a long time. Thank you Dr. Emma, you are one of the best!!
