The Low-Dose Ketamine Program
Sublingual ketamine at a genuinely low dose, prescribed inside a real psychiatric relationship and paired with a daily practice of your own.
Very low-dose ketamine care and full-scope psychiatry, held by one doctoral-level provider who knows your whole story. Not an app, not a rotating care team.
You showed up to the appointments. You took the medication as prescribed. You waited the six weeks, twice.
And still, something in you knows this is not as good as it gets. That instinct is worth trusting.
If several of these landed, that is reason enough for a first conversation.
Come for the ketamine program, come for psychiatric care, or come for both. Goldenturas can be your complete psychiatric provider either way.
Sublingual ketamine at a genuinely low dose, prescribed inside a real psychiatric relationship and paired with a daily practice of your own.
Diagnosis and medication management, plus the parts most practices skip: sleep, grief, nutrition, movement, and what you inherited.
A facilitated monthly circle for integration, accountability, and the plain relief of not being the only one.
“Medication changes lives. But our tools only reach so far, so I look at everything else too.”
Shannon is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice. She founded Goldenturas because the psychiatry she believed in (unhurried, whole-person, honest about uncertainty) was getting harder to find inside fifteen-minute appointments.
The name comes from turas, the Gaelic word for a pilgrimage undertaken on purpose. As she puts it: the gold is what you come back with.
A facilitated monthly circle for integration, accountability, and the plain relief of not being the only one. Guided by Shannon, free to attend, and open to patients and to anyone still deciding.
Turas is Gaelic for a purposeful journey. Nothing here moves faster than you do.
A short, unhurried message about what brought you here. No forms to dread.
We go through history, past treatments, and what is happening now, together.
Ketamine, medication, both, or neither. You decide with full information.
Regular follow-ups, measured progress, and adjustments as your life changes.
There are good options that are not us. Here is the plain difference, so you can choose well rather than quickly.

We are for people who want a gentle dose, a real clinician who stays, and the whole picture looked at properly. That is a narrower group on purpose.
Shared with permission and de-identified at each person's request.
One conversation is enough to find out whether this is the right path for you. If it is not, we will say so.
