Product Description

Known For: Richmond’s premier integrative ketamine-assisted psychotherapy practice, led by a uniquely dual-credentialed provider who is both a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Registered Dietitian with functional medicine certification.

HealingMaps Take: Nourish Health & Wellness represents the therapist-led, integrative end of Richmond’s ketamine spectrum — and it fills a niche that no other local provider occupies. Ashley Mannell’s credentials are genuinely unusual: she is simultaneously a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (she can prescribe), a Registered Dietitian, and an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. That triple qualification means she approaches treatment-resistant depression not just as a brain chemistry problem but as a whole-system issue — examining nutrition, gut health, inflammation, hormones, and trauma alongside the psychiatric presentation. Her KAP model uses IM and oral ketamine (no IV) paired with structured preparation and integration sessions, typically 3-6 experiential sessions over several weeks. This is not a high-volume infusion clinic — it is a deeply personalized practice where the therapeutic relationship is central. For patients who want their ketamine treatment to be part of a broader functional medicine investigation into why they are depressed, rather than just symptom management, Nourish is the strongest option in the Richmond market. The 4.9-star rating with consistent praise for personalized care validates the model.

Patient Review

“Ashley is unlike any provider I have worked with. She looked at my depression from every angle — my diet, my gut health, my trauma history, my medications — and built a treatment plan that included KAP alongside nutritional changes. The ketamine sessions were powerful, but it was the integration work and the holistic approach that made the difference stick.”
