Ketamine Wellness Services
Compassionate, physician-led care for healing and transformation.
Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to show effects, ketamine can provide relief within hours for some people. It is believed to work by enhancing neuroplasticity—helping the brain form new connections and pathways—while also modulating the glutamate system, which plays a key role in mood regulation. At therapeutic doses, intramuscular (IM) ketamine can induce a non-ordinary state of consciousness, which may facilitate emotional processing, insight, and psychological healing.
Why Ketamine?
Why IM ketamine with Ketamine Wellness Services?
A unique, personalized, physician-led, comprehensive intramuscular ketamine clinic in Southern Oregon.
✦ Many ketamine clinics only focus on the medicine itself, administering ketamine with minimal screening, medical oversight, or support.
✦ Dr. Canning offers intramuscular ketamine treatments through a personalized approach that emphasizes thorough medical screening, thoughtful preparation with a strong focus on informed consent, and a safe, supportive environment with him present throughout your sessions.
✦ Ketamine therapy is not appropriate for everyone, and we are committed to minimizing risks through a thorough evaluation process. This includes a detailed review of your medical and mental health history, use of standardized assessment tools, and a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Canning prior to treatment.
✦ I believe the most meaningful and lasting healing often arises from the integration work* that follows the ketamine experience. Because of this, I strongly encourage clients to have an established relationship with a therapist, counselor, or integration coach with whom I can collaborate.
I can help refer you to an integration specialist if necessary!
*Integration in ketamine and psychedelic medicine refers to the process of reflecting on, making sense of, and applying insights or experiences from the medicine session into one’s daily life for lasting psychological, emotional, and behavioral change.
This work is about
more than medicine.
It’s about creating the conditions for insight, connection, and lasting change.
My goal is to provide a personalized and truly transformative healing experience—not just a temporary change in mood, but a shift in perspective that supports long-term growth and well-being.
⚕ Dr. Peter Canning
Dr. Canning is a board-certified, practicing emergency physician with over 17 years of experience working with ketamine. Throughout nearly two decades on the front lines of acute care, he has witnessed the profound toll of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and existential distress.
To help address this suffering, he expanded his practice to support healing in a different way—through the intentional, monitored use of ketamine for mental health and personal transformation.
In addition to his conventional medical training, Dr. Canning has pursued extensive specialization in psychedelic medicine.

He obtained specialized training in applying ketamine for palliative care through EOLPC (End of Life Psychedelic Care), and is an active member of the Psychedelic Medicine Association (PMA).
Dr. Canning’s approach is rooted in medical expertise, trauma-informed care, and a deep respect for each person’s healing process. His work emphasizes psychedelic risk reduction to ensure safety, and includes supporting patients through integration practices that help translate psychedelic experiences into meaningful life changes.
He works with Paradigm Mental Health and Wellness to offer thoughtful, personalized care.
Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, severe burnout, a life-limiting or terminal illness, or are simply feeling stuck, Dr. Canning is here to help you move toward clarity and healing with compassion, and support.
Testimonials
“Dr. Canning is incredibly compassionate and intuitive. I was naive to ketamine treatment and psychedelics and a bit nervous about the process, but he made me feel totally comfortable and safe. His preparation materials and process were very effective and valuable. I would highly recommend Dr. Canning for ketamine treatment. ”

Clients:
“The framework Dr. Canning created for my psychedelic experience struck a remarkably thoughtful balance. He offered the knowledge, skill, and reassurance necessary to support safety, paired with a level of humility that enabled my own exploration into potentially uncertain mental territory. His empathy and curiosity helped inspire me to embrace those things for myself. Even in moments when I encountered heavy memories and emotions, his presence and support served as a gentle, non-intrusive, yet strong tether. This ultimately allowed me to stay open to those thoughts and feelings long enough to begin understanding and shifting my relationship with them. During and since my session, what have long felt like sources of vulnerability in my life increasingly feel like sources of empowerment. Although I imagine each person’s psychedelic experience is highly unique, I would trust Dr. Canning to be the person alongside you for that journey.”
— Katherine T.
“I have had the privilege of consulting with Dr. Canning for the last two years. He is thorough and kind, combining decades of knowledge in the ER with deep compassion and extensive knowledge of altered states. But what really sets Dr. Canning apart is his humble, client-centered approach. I would recommend him to any client without reservation.”
