Crystal's Story:
Finding Light After Loss

When Crystal first reached out to South Dakota Ketamine Clinic, she was in the midst of profound grief, stress, and emotional exhaustion. Within a few short months, she lost her mother to terminal brain cancer, became the full-time caregiver for her father with Alzheimer’s, and lost her job. On top of it all, she was struggling with depression, anxiety, and the physical and emotional toll of perimenopause.

Traditional treatments hadn’t brought her lasting relief, and the emotional weight was becoming unbearable. “I was at a point in my life where I felt I was at rock bottom,” she shared.

Ketamine Therapy in a Supportive, Healing Environment

After connecting with one of her healthcare providers, Crystal was introduced to Ransom Jones and the team at South Dakota Ketamine Clinic. She reached out, and was quickly contacted by Ransom himself.

He took the time to listen to her story, explain how ketamine therapy works, and confirm she was a good candidate. For Crystal, that first call was life-changing:

“After I got off the phone with Ransom that evening, I was able to see that light at the end of the tunnel. He was the hope I had been praying for.”

Her treatment began that week in a quiet, welcoming space designed for comfort and care. From the private rooms to the cozy chairs, music, and weighted blankets, everything was set up to help her feel safe and supported.

Crystal chose to receive fluids with most of her infusions and took the time to journal her experience along the way. Throughout the process, she worked closely with the care team to monitor her progress and adjust treatment as needed.
