From the emergency department to the frontier of mental health care.
For fifteen years, Remi practiced emergency and critical care medicine in teaching hospitals, trauma centers, and community emergency departments, from Boston and the Bronx to Ventura County.
He has also practiced far from the hospital: as a volunteer physician at a high-altitude aid post with the Himalayan Rescue Association, and in earthquake relief in Nepal’s Gorkha region with International Medical Corps.
In 2021 he turned his focus to depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other complex mental health conditions. He trained in ketamine-assisted therapy with the Psychedelic Coalition for Health and in MDMA-assisted therapy with MAPS, then founded the practice that became Lucid Therapeutics. He has since overseen more than 3,000 ketamine treatments.
Lucid now offers IV and intramuscular ketamine, Spravato, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, TMS, and stellate ganglion blocks under one roof. His focus is making these treatments responsible, scalable, and reachable through insurance.

The integration workbook
A companion for the days and weeks after a ketamine session. Exercises, prompts, and practices help you carry insights from treatment into everyday life, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
“Although the experience itself may be enticing, the true power lies in how we integrate these experiences into our daily lives.”
