Mind Balance Flow

Mind Balance Flow is a mental health counseling practice in Livermore, California, offering physician-led ketamine and psychedelic-assisted therapy for depression, PTSD, and anxiety that has not responded to standard treatment. Care is provided in person at the Livermore office, with treatment built around ketamine or esketamine alongside targeted psychotherapy, integration therapy after treatment, and management of medications clients are already taking. The practice also addresses substance misuse, suicidal ideation, and chronic pain, and screens for conditions such as a history of seizures before treatment begins. It holds a rating of 5.00 from 13 reviews.

Elyas Parsa, DO, is a board-licensed osteopathic physician and surgeon in California and a Family Medicine physician who has spent fifteen years in medicine. He has run a county hospital residency program, treated homeless patients through street medicine, founded a Gender Health Clinic for transgender care, worked in the ER, and practiced in New Zealand and Thailand. He is a Buddhist practitioner, completed Columbia University's Narrative Medicine program, has done a 10-day silent Vipassana retreat, and speaks English, Dutch, Farsi, and Romanian.

The practice begins with a virtual care review, followed by a consultation with Dr. Parsa to determine whether ketamine treatment is appropriate and how it will be administered. Clients are encouraged to stay with their current therapist rather than switch to one at the clinic, provided that therapist is familiar with ketamine therapy; referrals are available when they are not. A typical course is a six-week program of six ketamine sessions and two integration sessions, with a further virtual consultation if continued treatment is recommended. Appointments are available Monday through Friday, and telemedicine consultations are conducted over a HIPAA-compliant video platform.

The office is on First Street in downtown Livermore, a short walk from Railroad Avenue and Fourth Street. Stockmen's Park and Carnegie Park are both about 0.2 miles away.

Mind Balance Flow is known for a solid reputation among the clients it has served, reflected in a 5.00 rating across 13 reviews. In Livermore, that standing rests on a physician-led approach that pairs ketamine treatment with integration therapy and keeps clients working with the therapist who already knows them.
