How Discreet Ketamine and Mindbloom Compare

Both Discreet Ketamine and Mindbloom offer at-home ketamine therapy for conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. However, the two providers differ significantly in their approach to physician involvement, session guidance, pricing, and the level of personalized care you receive throughout treatment.

  • Discreet Ketamine: board-certified physician (Dr. Ben Soffer, DO) provides direct, ongoing care
  • Mindbloom: larger telehealth platform that typically uses a network of clinicians across many states
  • Discreet Ketamine: AI-guided sessions (KetAI) with real-time safety monitoring and integration support
  • Mindbloom: guide-led sessions with peer support model
  • Discreet Ketamine currently serves Florida and New Jersey; Mindbloom operates in more states

Physician Quality and Personalization

One of the most meaningful differences between at-home ketamine providers is who oversees your care. At Discreet Ketamine, every patient is treated directly by Dr. Ben Soffer, DO, a board-certified physician who personally manages your treatment plan, dosing adjustments, and follow-up care. This direct physician relationship may offer advantages over larger platforms where you may see different clinicians at each visit.

  • Single physician who knows your history, goals, and response patterns
  • Personalized dosing protocols adjusted based on your individual experience
  • Direct access to your treating physician between sessions
  • Treatment plans tailored to your specific condition, not a one-size-fits-all protocol
  • Continuity of care that larger platforms may find difficult to provide at scale

AI-Guided Sessions: The KetAI Difference

Discreet Ketamine offers KetAI, a proprietary AI-guided session companion that supports patients during their at-home ketamine sessions. This technology layer adds safety monitoring, guided breathing, and real-time check-ins that are not typically available through other at-home ketamine providers.

  • Real-time safety monitoring throughout each session
  • Guided breathing and relaxation exercises tailored to each session phase
  • Post-session integration prompts and journaling tools
  • Emergency contact features including a one-tap "I Need Help" button
  • Session data shared with your physician to inform treatment adjustments

Cost and Value Comparison

Pricing is an important factor when choosing an at-home ketamine provider. Mindbloom's pricing has typically been reported in the range of $250 or more per session depending on the program selected. Discreet Ketamine aims to offer more affordable pricing while maintaining board-certified physician oversight and AI-guided session technology.

  • Discreet Ketamine typically offers lower per-session costs compared to Mindbloom
  • No hidden fees for follow-up consultations or medication adjustments
  • Discreet delivery of medication included in the treatment cost
  • Transparent pricing with no surprise charges after your initial consultation
  • Both providers require an initial consultation before beginning treatment

Research Supporting At-Home Ketamine Therapy

Telehealth-delivered ketamine therapy demonstrated comparable efficacy to in-clinic treatment for depression, with high patient satisfaction and safety profiles supporting the at-home treatment model. (Hull et al., 2022 (Journal of Affective Disorders))

Single subanesthetic ketamine doses produced rapid antidepressant effects within hours, with up to 70% of treatment-resistant patients responding, establishing the foundation for modern at-home protocols. (Zarate et al., 2006 (Archives of General Psychiatry))

Meta-analysis found ketamine produced significant antidepressant effects within 24 hours, with benefits persisting for up to one week, supporting the therapeutic-dose session model. (Wilkinson et al., 2017 (American Journal of Psychiatry))
