Synaptic Institute | Ketamine Therapy | Naturopathic Medicine | Acupuncture in Portland Oregon

“Dr. Monica Toth and Synaptic Institute have been some of the greatest blessings of my life. Dr. Toth is the first naturopath that I've worked with and I'm not sure why it took me so long. Her holistic and collaborative approach encourages me to have agency in my life and foster a willingness to try new things and imagine a better way. I've been dealing with chronic migraines for years and under her supervision I've been able to experiment with new interventions, some of which have given me a new lease on life. I'm so grateful and highly recommend all of the practitioners at this clinic. Thank you thank you thank you!!!”

“I decided to book some sessions with Dr. Ali Bigelow, as I am a psilocybin facilitator and completed training in KAP but had no experience with this medicine. I am absolutely blown away by the insights and healing that I am walking away with. Ali is such an incredible human and such a joy to sit with, her presence made me feel cared for, safe, understood, and seen. I had a lot of anxiety trying something new, and she made me feel at home in her presence and at Synaptic. The clinic itself is clean, beautifully decorated with lots of plants, and nice and quiet/calm. I have already recommended Synaptic and Ali to many people and will continue to do so, the potential for this medicine to heal is amazing. My PMDD and complex trauma literally feel like they have melted out of my body, and in their place is a feeling of profound, infinite love that I will carry with me always. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”

“I started with Dr. Mathew Hicks and this has been a life changing experience. I now work with Dr. Olivia Hicks and she is just as amazing. I can’t say enough positive things about both Synaptic Institute.”

“I had a very positive experience at Synaptic. Dr. Olivia Hicks created an environment in which I felt safe, comfortable and supported. She provided her expertise and treatment facilitation in a way that made me feel respected and empowered. She was not only understanding but also relatable, which made me trust her guidance even more. I felt as if I were opting into a power dynamic, rather than being forced into one.”
