Klarisana

Doctor of Medicine Chicago Medical School 2013 Masters of Business Administration Rochester Institute of Technology 2009

I completed my bachelor’s in nursing at the University of Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner), and my master’s with Frontier Nursing University in Kentucky. My experience prior to Klarisana mostly took place in the hospital- on the cardiac, transplant, and orthopedic units. My top priorities for my practice are safety and integrity, I want patients to feel cared for and feel trust in this clinic and our process. I have a passion for this type of medicine, and a lot of this is due to the outcomes in our patients and the amazing transformations I have been able to witness. When I am not working I enjoy walking my senior dog, being out in nature, and spending time with my friends, family, and partner.

When she’s not working Trista enjoys watching her son play soccer, taking naps whenever possible, and watching Purdue basketball.

Current Ketamine Therapy Medical Provider and Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner. Retired ICU RN of 9 years. I have personally lived through a traumatic injury and other major life changes which turned out to be a blessing professionally, as I have truly learned first-hand the challenges and needs of a patient. I also worked diligently as a bedside ICU nurse during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. My unique personal and professional healthcare experiences give me a level of motivation, maturity, and compassion that distinguishes me from other providers. I am a Colorado Native and love spending time in the mountains. Work-life balance is important to me, when I’m not working, I enjoy off-roading in my Jeep, hiking, paddle-boarding, swimming, reading, swimming and going on adventures with my three sweet dogs who are my kids.

My name is Arlene. I identify as Queer/Non-Binary and I am a Licensed Social Worker. I am intensely passionate about trauma informed healing modalities and social justice. I’m currently geeking out about ant farms and ant species/colonies in my spare time. I love to dance, thrift, be outside and be goofy with my friends. A weird fact about me is that I was born in the Outback of Australia. Oh and I love collecting miniature alligators and horse trinkets

I am a family nurse practitioner with 10 years of experience in the healthcare field. I am passionate about mental health and holistic wellness and I am currently completing a program in functional/holistic medicine. I believe in working with patients to find the root cause of their symptoms in order to help them fully heal. I believe that psychedelic medicine can be a gateway to help patients address the root cause of their mental health struggles in a way that other therapies are not able. It has been a privilege to work in the psychedelic medicine space and to witness the healing transformations of so many patients. I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my patients, and in the clinic I hope to serve as a beacon of hope, supporting my patients on their healing journey. I am a Kansas City native and recently moved to Colorado. Outside of work I like to spend as much time as possible outdoors, exploring the beauty that Colorado has to offer.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner who started my career in Exercise Physiology before pursuing a nursing degree. I obtained a BSN from Regis University in 2012 and after nearly a decade of critical care and post-surgical care, I returned to school to become a Nurse Practitioner. My passion is to not only save lives but to increase the quality of life by having a collaborative approach with my patients. I believe that we are a team- I may have medical expertise, however, you are the expert of your own body so together we will work to improve your life. My journey to psychedelic medicine was a personal one. After working through the pandemic as a front line nurse, there were several colleagues of mine who struggled with their mental health. One of my them found Klarisana and she expressed to me how significant this treatment was to saving her life. Now that I have been working closely with this team for almost two years, I can see why she overcame her depression. I feel very lucky to be a part of a culture committed to compassion, authenticity, and patient-focused care. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing fetch with our four dogs, learning a new sport to play, and re-watching the Office.
