About Us
Meet your team of mental health professionals helping you heal with the help of Ketamine, telepsychiatry, and wellness.
We founded LUMUS because we'd seen too much suffering go unmet.
We'd watched patients cycle through medications that didn't work, sit in therapy that helped but wasn't enough, and leave appointments feeling dismissed by a system that had little left to offer. We knew there had to be a better way. Not just clinically, but humanly. That belief is the foundation everything at LUMUS is built on.
Our Team
At LUMUS, we approach every patient with nuance, precision, and compassion, especially those who have not found relief through conventional treatments. Our clinical backgrounds span psychiatry across the full lifespan, and that depth informs everything: the questions we ask, the plans we build, the way we are present with you.
We offer evidence-based IV ketamine therapy in a calm, private clinical environment in Corona, CA, alongside comprehensive concierge telepsychiatry and medically supervised weight-loss care. Each service is built on the understanding that mental and physical health are inseparable, and that every patient deserves a plan built around them specifically.
The treatment itself is only part of what we offer. What we're really providing is a space where you are genuinely seen. Where your history is taken seriously, your fears are answered honestly, and your care is guided by listening, not a checklist.
Clinical Excellence
Board-certified expertise across the full spectrum of psychiatric care, with specialized focus on treatment-resistant conditions. The cases where others have run out of answers.
Human-First Care
We slow down when you need us to. We answer the questions you're afraid to ask. We stay present, not just clinically, but as people genuinely invested in your healing.
Continuity & Insight
From consultation through infusions and integration, we stay with you. Real recovery isn't a single appointment. It's a journey, and we walk alongside you every step.
We are holding a sacred space for people in profound pain to receive something that might genuinely change their lives. We don't take that lightly. We carry it carefully, and we are honored to be part of your story.
