About Us

Pioneering Modern Mental Health Care

Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles (KCLA) has pioneered modern mental health care since 2014. We began with Ketamine Infusion Therapy and have expanded into Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and comprehensive psychiatric care, with more treatments coming soon.

Co-founded by  Steven L. Mandel, MD,  and Sam Mandel, CEO, KCLA is a family-owned and operated group practice with a multidisciplinary team comprising an  anesthesiologist, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and administrative staff.

Our state-of-the-art, 5,000-square-foot facility is located in Los Angeles' Playa District. As one of the first, largest, and only Quad A-accredited Ketamine Clinics, KCLA is dedicated to delivering world-class care.

With over 35,000 treatments administered to more than 6,000 patients, we maintain an 83% success rate in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. We accept most major health insurance, increasing access to care.

With a commitment to innovation, accessibility, and compassion, KCLA is a modern mental health care leader.
