Ventura Center for Advanced Therapeutics (Ketamine Clinic): Stefany Wolfsohn, MD

"Dr. Wolfsohn and her team are unlike any other I've experienced, and I have a lot of other health problems. She will make sure to contact any other doctors you see to exchange updates and treat you holistically. She'll check up on you if you're not doing so well. You can tell she's really conscientious in everything she does. She gives thorough advice in preparing and integrating your ketamine session. The rooms are very clean and calming. There's lots of laughter and love. I've done ketamine therapy before at Ketamine Clinics of Los Angeles, but without concurrent psychotherapy. Without psychotherapy, I felt I had some big insights in my first sessions, but after that plateaued. It seemed to just be peaceful imagery that meant nothing. With concurrent psychotherapy at this office, I'm much more able to explore various themes pertinent to both my daily life and inner life. I've had so many more breakthroughs. The current regimen I'm on is a booster every 3-8 weeks. I get relief from depression and SI for about 3.5 weeks, and then symptoms return. Since then, I've experienced less fear regarding my sexual assault history, a dental trauma (even preparing for dental surgery right now), fewer cognitive distortions, more peace with the loss of a friend, much less dissociation, and more emotional regulation. My therapist, Rachel Bornfeld, was recommended to my by Dr. Wolfsohn. She really understands me and is wise. I tried over 35 medications prior to ketamine to no avail. It's saved my life on multiple occasions. Each IV session is $600, though some have luck with insurance. I believe Dr. Wolfsohn also offers IM, sublingual, and nasal ketamine at lower prices."

"I can not say enough nice things about my experience with Dr Stefany Wolfsohn and her wonderful team at Ventura Center for Advanced Therapeutics. I rank it as the single best healthcare experience of my lifetime! Dr Wolfsohn is clearly highly skilled, intelligent, and expert in her field. More importantly (to me), her humanity, compassion, sensitivity and kindness are unrivaled. She and her wonderful practice also exemplify the Latin origin of the word doctor, or “docere”, meaning to teach or a scholar; I will be forever grateful for her teachings."

"I rarely post reviews but Dr. Wolfsohn has made such a profound difference in my life in the time I have known her that I make this exception. The office is clean and relaxing. The staff is always welcoming, friendly, and professional. Dr. Wolfsohn always takes time to listen, answer questions, and respond to my needs as they vary on any given day. She is sensitive and caring and I would definitely recommend Ventura Center for Advanced Theraputics."

"Dr. Wolfsohn has been nothing short of a blessing in my life. I’ve lived with chronic pain since the age of 12. I’m a mother of two young children. My husband and I caught Covid this past December 2021 and I have had debilitating pain throughout my body ever since. A week or more would go by at a time where all I could do was rotate being curled up in a ball in pain in bed or lay in hot baths with magnesium salts trying to relieve the pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have been passed around from physician to physician because nobody wants to treat me. Dr. Wolfsohn’s bedside manner immediately put me at ease. She took the time to listen to me and wasn’t in a hurry to rush me out of the office. She even took the time to help me find a new general practitioner and a specialist that are actually interested in helping me. Dr. Wolfsohn runs a professional practice. I feel completely safe in her more than capable hands. The treatments allow me to have my life back for a time so that I can function and be there for my family’s needs. She actually cares about her patients. Sad to say this isn’t the case with the majority of doctors nowadays. I highly recommend her practice. Dr. Wolfsohn is amazing."

"I have been seeing Dr. Wolfsohn since January 2020 for my chronic migraines. I've had migraines for roughly 3,624 years so I've seen my fair share of medical providers and she is by far the best BEST of them all. She really partners with me to figure out what else beyond her treatments might be helpful and because she is so connected in the community, if I ask her about any other provider, not only does she know them, she usually knows exactly why I should or should not see them. I have never felt more cared for by any other doctor and I have seen a LOT of doctors. Oh, also, yes, my treatments with her have helped me considerably or else I wouldn't still be going. :) You've never met a doctor as involved in your care as Dr. Wolfsohn. It's taken me far too long to write this review. She's top notch and a true partner in your health care."
