Hello and Welcome
to Renew
Hello and welcome to Renew. As close friends and professional colleagues, we’ve had the privilege of working together for many years, treating patients with IV Ketamine. Our experience, both in the Emergency Departments and in daily practice, has shown us the limitations of traditional medicine when it comes to treating mental health and chronic pain. This is why we are so passionate about Ketamine – we’ve seen firsthand how it can transform lives in a profound, evidence-based way.
Our mission is simple: to make this life-changing treatment as accessible as possible for those who need it, while optimizing every part of the experience to ensure you receive the highest level of care.
We believe in the incredible healing potential of Ketamine, and we know that its effects can be even more powerful when combined with a thoughtful, integrative psychotherapy program.
We’re here to help you Renew your outlook on life, and we can’t wait to be part of your journey.

Dr. Tanya Dall
Hello, my name is Dr. Tanya Dall. I am a Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physician. I was raised in a military, and completely non-medical, family. My interest in medicine was piqued in the 5th grade, while watching the hit TV show “TLC-Trauma; Life in the ER.” I was instantly fascinated by how the human body, specifically the brain, functioned. This interest has continued, as I have now shifted to focus on how psychedelic treatments can heal the mind.
I studied Human Physiology at the University of Arizona. I went on to obtain my Medical Degree at Georgetown University. I was blessed with the opportunity to return home to the West Coast to train at UC Irvine for my Emergency Medicine residency training.
I now work on staff in the Emergency Department at the Level 2 Trauma center Providence Mission Hospital, in Mission Viejo, CA. I also travel occasionally to rural Bisbee and Douglas, AZ to offer care to these underserved communities. I specialize in the safe and effective use of Ketamine in my daily practice.
After many years of practicing Medicine, I realize the failures of Traditional Medicine to treat mental health and chronic pain. After much research, I believe psychedelic medicine is the future of treating such conditions.
Welcome, and I cannot wait to meet you and share more about how Renew can help!
Dr. Justin Yanuck
Hi, my name Is Dr. Justin Yanuck and I am board certified in both Emergency Medicine (University of California, Irvine) and Pain Medicine (Harvard Massachusetts General Hospital). My background is a bit atypical for most Emergency Medicine doctors, but throughout my residency I felt for many chronic pain patients that we would see in the emergency room, I didn’t quite know how to best help them. I decided to start doing research in the world of chronic pain, and this led me to pursuing a fellowship where I devoted an entire year to learning about pain management. I practiced in a private pain medicine clinic after this training, and throughout that time I came across a subset of patients that no matter what intervention you would do for them, or medication I would start, they wouldn’t get any robust relief.
While working in the emergency department, which I continue to do to this day, I have had extensive experience working with Ketamine for multiple reasons: procedural sedation, reduction in acute pain, and for calming hyperactive patients. Over the years, I started to become interested in the possibility that Ketamine could be used not just for these reasons but possibly other diseases as well. I’ve since dived into the existing literature on Ketamine as well as other emerging therapeutics including Psilocybin, LSD, MDMA and I am convinced that these medications can really help people who are suffering. For now, Ketamine is the only legal medication to be utilized and is thus where my primary focus has been, and having heard from my own patients as well as reviewing the literature, I am convinced that Ketamine assisted therapy, for the right patient, can be a transformational treatment option.
Meet the Therapists
Sabrina Owen
Hello, my name is Sabrina Owen. I have been licensed in California as Marriage and Family Therapist since 1999. After growing up watching a family member struggle to find effective mental health treatment, I pursued a career in psychology – receiving my BA in psychology and my MA in counseling psychology. To further my practice, I stay up to date on the recent developments in mental health care. One of the most exciting advancements is the use of psychedelic treatments.
As I learned about the effectiveness of psychedelics in clinical trials and the need for psychedelic-informed and trained clinicians, I knew this was what I wanted to do. I completed a one-year psychedelic integration certificate program through Fluence in 2021, a six-month rater adherence training program from MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) and an intensive ketamine three-day training at a well-known ketamine clinic.
Today, I provide compassionate, trauma-informed, and neuroscience-based psychotherapy. In addition to my experience providing psychedelic preparation, integration and harm reduction, my clients benefit from my over 30 years of professional experience and advanced training in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and most recently training in CIMBS (Complex Integration of Multiple Brain Systems). I look forward to working together to assist in your healing and well-being.
Kai Lewis
My name is Kai Lewis (they/he) and I am a CA Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Since 2019, I have been combining evidence-based therapeutic interventions with real world applicability to provide therapy for individuals, relational units, and groups. I have a holistic and collaborative approach to mental health care that incorporates mind, body, and lifestyle as it relates to you- a unique individual.
After receiving my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the California Polytechnic University of Pomona, I attended the University of Southern California for my Master’s of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. Throughout my education, I have been involved in research labs surrounding the mind body connection, including cognitive language processing, social-relational communication, and nutritional effects on mental health.
There is not a one-size-fits all approach to mental health; I value assisting patients in exploring all options available for their care, going beyond traditional talk therapy. After reading emerging research on ketamine’s high efficacy rate and ability to facilitate transformational results as part of treatment for certain mental health experiences, I knew this is something I wanted to offer as part of holistic mental health care.
In 2022, I completed Fluence’s Ketamine Assisted Therapy training and the 2022 Sana Symposium Conference focused on the intersectionality of ketamine and mental health care. I also regularly attend workshops, such as through MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), and consume up-to-date literature around psychoactive substances in mental health care treatment. My approach focuses on harm reduction, preparation, integration, and patient collaboration in exploring mental health care options. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, and I am an LGBTQ and Neurodivergent affirming provider.
