Dr. Denise Lin brings decades of mental health expertise to Juniper Psychiatry, including additional training in psychedelic and ketamine therapies.
Dr. Lin provides full psychiatric evaluations, psychiatric medication management for patients going through a ketamine treatment series and in-office, monitored ketamine via intramuscular injection (IM). She does not provide IV ketamine infusions. Dr. Lin feels that IVs are more invasive and that injection ketamine for psychiatric conditions is equally effective for psychiatric conditions. At Juniper Psychiatry, the emphasis is on careful screening, safety, psychological support, and close monitoring via in-person appointments and our state-of-the-art Osmind patient portal. Dr. Lin is committed to providing the highest standard of care to our patients. As such, she follows the KRIYA Institute’s Ethical Guidelines for Ketamine Clinicians.
Dr. Lin looks forward to discussing how Juniper Psychiatry and ketamine therapy may help you on your healing journey.
