Intro

Based in New York, Dr. Ben Medrano operates an adult-focused practice specializing in integrative psychiatry and ketamine assisted therapy, harmoniously paired with principles from Buddhist theories of consciousness, transpersonal psychology, and psychedelic harm reduction. Dr. Medrano’s distinctive approach is rooted in the synthesis of evidence-based complementary alternative medicine, designed to forge a personalized, effective care plan crafted through a collaborative effort with each patient. Recommendations and treatment plans are custom-made, potentially including lifestyle changes, therapy, and prescribed medication. Notably, patients may benefit from Dr. Medrano's expertise in providing in-depth mindfulness instruction, useful for stress management and personal growth.

Dr. Medrano earned his MD from the University of Colorado School of Medicine's Urban Underserved Track, before completing his psychiatric residency at Mount Sinai Hospitals NYC. His experience in community psychiatry sparked a longing to make a profound difference as a healer, leading him to his present specialization in integrative psychiatry, psychedelic harm reduction, and ketamine assisted therapy. Building upon years of service as the Senior Vice President and US Medical Director of Field Trip Health, Dr. Medrano's dedication to integrative approaches in mental healthcare has continued in his current role as Chief Medical Officer of Nue.Life. In addition to directing Field Trip NYC, Dr. Medrano maintains a private practice.
