I've worked with Sasha Carrion for nearly 5+ years through completely different seasons of my…read morelife--business expansion, emotional blocks, physical trauma, fear, and major life transitions. Sometimes we've worked briefly on one issue; other times, consistently for months. Every time, I'm amazed by how quickly and deeply her work affects me. I've experienced talk therapy, journaling, mindset and spiritual work, and other healing modalities before hypnosis. All valuable, but Sasha showed me that understanding a pattern and actually changing the subconscious belief underneath it are two very different things. I am extremely analytical. I can analyze a problem from twenty directions and find twenty more. Sasha is one of the few practitioners who can meet me at that level without allowing my analytical mind to become an obstacle to healing. She knows how to get underneath it. Most recently, we worked weekly for 4+ months during one of the most destabilizing periods of my life. I was experiencing deep depression, recovering from a traumatic plastic surgery experience, and simultaneously dealing with an escalating HOA legal dispute. It affected my mind, body, recovery, home, and sense of safety. At the beginning, I could go from hopeful to terrified within minutes. Sasha didn't just tell me everything would be okay; she helped my subconscious begin to feel safe again. As new fears appeared, we addressed them before they became permanent beliefs. Eventually, I watched myself respond differently. Things that months earlier would have completely destabilized me happened, and I found myself thinking, "Okay. We'll handle it." And meaning it. Actually feeling calm. The external circumstances eventually began resolving too--far beyond what I believed was possible. But that isn't even the result I value most: The journey to the resolution did not destroy me. When I couldn't access faith in the outcome, Sasha could. She would tell me, "Borrow my faith." And I did. She held a vision of healing, safety, and resolution until I could believe in it myself. Empty reassurance doesn't work on me; Sasha's words have power because there is genuine conviction behind them. She understands me and is genuinely invested in helping me move forward. I trust Sasha deeply and respect her intelligence, intuition, compassion, and mastery of her craft. She validates what I'm experiencing while helping me change the pattern keeping me there. I've also realized I don't want hypnosis to be something I use only when something is wrong. I think of Sasha as an exceptional trainer for the subconscious. We train our bodies to become stronger--why wouldn't we give our minds that same support? There will always be new desires and expansions revealing new blocks. Sasha helps me move through them instead of building my life around them. Working with her is one of the most valuable investments I've made in myself--not simply because she helps me resolve problems, but because she has helped me become someone who moves through problems differently. And if you're skeptical about hypnosis, I understand. It has never felt like surrendering control of my mind. It feels like communicating with the part of my mind influencing me all along. You can consciously know you're safe while your body feels unsafe; you can understand a pattern perfectly and still repeat it. That gap is where this work can be transformative. 5+ years and countless limiting beliefs rewired and goals achieved later, Sasha is an invaluable part of my support team and someone I recommend wholeheartedly. She is a powerful healer, gifted hypnotherapist, and deeply intuitive and compassionate human being. She has held hope, calm, and possibility for me until I could hold them myself. Perhaps the greatest evidence that this work works is that I've needed to borrow those things less and less. The greatest compliment I can give Sasha's work is this: It changed the version of me who was going through it. And once that version of you changes, everything else has the opportunity to change too.

Shira has a friendly personality and a gentle, understanding approach that makes it easy to open up. While she's the first provider I've seen for psychiatry, I've had plenty of experience with doctors over the years, and she stands out for how much she genuinely listens and cares.

I initially began my ketamine infusion therapy back in December of 2019, up in the San Francisco…read moreBay Area where I am from. By the time I found Gateway on Montana, I had already had 10 treatments, so I was extensively familiar with the myriad benefits. After a series of situations requiring a temporary relocation to Santa Monica recently brought me to the neighborhood, I happened to stumble upon this beautiful facility one sunny day in July, and was warmly greeted by Zohreh. After a lovely chat, I immediately scheduled their next available appointment, and was able to get an infusion within two days (on a Saturday), at about half the price I was paying in the Bay Area, which was such a relief to discover. I am so grateful to have found this place, and have now had five sessions at Gateway Clinics. As someone who is very sensitive to all pharmaceuticals, and neither tolerates nor desires any traditional medications, I am thankful to have discovered ketamine on the advice of a functional (aka holistic) psychiatrist a few years back. I have since learned that Ketamine is a tremendously safe, versatile, and wonderful drug that has been used since the early 1960s, and may be administered at different dosages, in any one of three ways: as an anesthetic (for sedation, like during surgery), as an analgesic (to achieve relief of chronic pain), and as a psychedelic (requiring much lower doses, for mental health support). In my case, ketamine has been instrumental in helping me with all of the following areas of concern: depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, trauma, addiction, suicidal ideation, fatigue, sleep, cognitive performance, mental clarity, and even everyday functionality on a seemingly ordinary human level that so many of us take for granted (until compromise thereof occurs). Within one treatment, ketamine also gently washed away a lifelong fear of needles and IVs, and this annoying obstacle has never returned. I like to say that ketamine (as with most psychedelics) often quite dramatically improves one's capacities: to care for self and others; to move through the world of experience with greater ease, mindfulness, and attention to the present moment; to love more of what is; to gravitate away from the tendency to overcomplicate things, and rather toward a preference for simplicity; and in general to suffer less. It was by way of studying philosophy for 10 years that I discovered meditation and psychedelics. I would never have imagined that a deep immersion in academia would lead me here. Absolutely everyone on the Gateway Clinics team is of the highest caliber. Locally, Zohreh is phenomenal, and creates an inviting atmosphere that makes you want to come in and stay awhile. All of the Nurse Practitioners are phenomenal, and treat their patients with the utmost care, kindness, compassion, respect, and even joy. The founder, Clay, and his wife, Ariane, are both spectacular human beings. I am genuinely impressed with every detail of this practice. The entire organization feels very much like a family, and without doubt they are mission-driven to heal the world, one bodymind at a time. In addition to safe, convenient, and legal psychedelic therapy, Gateway also offers several vitamin infusions, B-12 shots, and a perfect array of products to go, such as: targeted wellness and supplement sprays; high potency medicinal mushroom tinctures (e.g. Lion's Mane and Shitake); raw superfood chocolates featuring adaptogenic mushrooms and herbs; and a nice selection of quality CBD products, including tinctures, gummies, and flower. Life is already struggle enough in so many ways. On my view, every being alive deserves the chance at a happier, healthier, more peaceful experience of existence if at all possible. Wholeness is a birthright; and psychedelic therapies are unquantifiably vital to the end of helping to facilitate precisely that. I highly recommend this "Gateway" to infinite possibility. We are so fortunate to have it here.
