Get Matched with a Therapist or Partner with Us Alone
If you are already working with a Journey Clinical Member Therapist, your Provider will work closely with them to create a seamless and supportive care experience. We believe this collaborative approach leads to the best mental health outcomes for our patients.
While a Journey Clinical therapist isn’t required for Medication Management, we're happy to connect you with one of our expert therapists to support your holistic mental health needs.
Step 1: Access the Patient Portal
If you were referred by a Journey Clinical therapist, you should have received a welcome email to log into your patient portal. If you haven't received an email yet, ask your therapist to submit an internal referral to Journey Clinical.
If you are not already working with a Journey Clinical therapist, click the button below to get started and create your patient account. After creating your account, you should receive the welcome email to log in.
Step 2: Book Your Medical Intake
Within the patient portal, click the 'Get Started' or 'Continue' button to schedule your medical consultation. You will then have a comprehensive intake appointment with your provider to assess your needs and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Step 3: Receive Ongoing Support
Following your intake, you'll have regular monthly follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust medications as necessary.

• During KAP: To monitor any adjustments needed for your medications, ensuring your safety and the effectiveness of your treatment.
• After KAP: To adjust your medications as needed after completing 6-8 KAP sessions.
A dosing session is a 2–3-hour appointment where you meet with your therapist—either in person or remotely—and self-administer sublingual ketamine lozenges. After taking the medicine, you lie down in a calm, comfortable space to experience an inward journey, while the primary effects last about 45 minutes. Your therapist remains present throughout to offer support and hold space. Read more.
