A Beacon of Light for a Full Mental Reset

At MY Self Wellness, a beacon of light for mental health in Bonita Springs, true healing and transformation extend beyond the physical and emotional. Using ketamine-assisted psychedelic therapy, their innovative, holistic approach to mental health doesn’t just focus on symptoms but targets root causes.

“Guiding individuals to their best selves and best lives, we help them address the emotional blocks and wounds that may be holding them back. From overcoming addiction, anxiety, and chronic pain to gaining clarity and focus, reconnecting with the inner self, overcoming limiting beliefs, and strengthening intuition, our compassionate and individualized approach can help,” says Charles Patti, CEO of MY Self Wellness.

“We do things differently at our facility because we embrace deep-dive psychedelic experiences. This allows people to reach transcendent states of consciousness, which is one of the reasons we have more than a 90% success rate in as little as three weeks,” Patti adds.

Explaining that he has always been a "see it to believe it" kind of person, Patti shares his personal experience with ketamine therapy. “Before I healed, I spent 20 years addicted to unhealthy processed foods, cigarettes, and alcohol. Now, I live the opposite lifestyle. I went from a victim mentality and fear to a place of love. That experience prepared me to serve at the highest level and live my purpose.”

Today, Patti eats only organic foods, goes to the gym five days a week, meditates daily, speaks positivity into his life, and surrounds himself with a supportive network of uplifting people. “My ‘Burning Bush’ kind of experience changed my life forever. We encourage and teach people to adopt these same positive habits,” he says.

Patti clarifies that ketamine is a tool and a catalyst. “It helps people get on the right track, but it's not a silver bullet. Ketamine is just one piece of the healing puzzle. Long-term success comes from the daily habits and lifestyle changes that follow. As cliché as it sounds, if you change nothing, nothing changes.”

Everyone on the MY Self Wellness team is committed to helping people heal. “From Dr. Andrew Ferber, our Chief Medical Officer, who conducts psychiatric evaluations before accepting patients, to the nurses who administer ketamine, and the certified integration specialists who support clients before and after each treatment—our entire team is focused on true healing,” says Patti.

Patti and Christina Thomas host a free MY Self Wellness podcast with more than 370 videos available on YouTube. These videos provide firsthand accounts of the transformative power of ketamine therapy, holistic wellness, and mental health support.

“We know we can change the world with this. People don’t need to suffer anymore—there’s another option now,” Patti enthuses. “Our mission and passion are to assist and empower people on their wellness journeys by combining the healing benefits of ketamine with new lifestyle practices for a full mental reset, allowing them to live happy, joy-filled lives. As I heal myself, I heal the world. The outer world is a reflection of what’s within, and if I’m always pointing the finger at someone else as the problem, I’m never working on myself. The only way out is in.”
