Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy. The socialist lawmaker hired Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on “novel” therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street.
Her campaign paid Boyle $11,550 in March 2025, another $2,800 in May, and $4,375 in October for a total of $18,725, Federal Election Commission records show.
The expenses were marked as “leadership training and consulting.”
It’s unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
Boyle, a Harvard-trained doctor, calls himself an “interventional psychiatrist” and specializes in unorthodox methods for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and anxiety.
He’s considered a “leading authority” on ketamine, the controversial horse tranquilizer given to “Friends” star Matthew Perry in the month leading up to his tragic death. ***
The “Squad” rep, who campaigned to end the federal prohibition of marijuana in 2018, has three times proposed legislation to make it easier to study magic mushrooms and other psychedelics.
As a freshman congresswoman in 2019, she introduced an amendment to allow the feds to spend taxpayer money on studying the medical potential of psilocybin, ecstasy and other drugs to treat mental illnesses, calling the early research “promising.”
“It’s well past time we take drug use out of criminal consideration and into medical consideration,” she tweeted at the time.

Money wasted. No discernable change noted in her conduct.
So she’s a drug addict. Anybody surprised?
Thinks she’s a rock star….delusional.

ketamine, the controversial horse tranquilizer
That reminds me, I just got depression, PTSD and anxiety.
How do politicians get away with spending campaign money on things such as this?
Thanks. A gag that wrote itself but needed those photos.
Now we know why AOC is said to munch on carrots, sugar cubes and hay.
Sheesh, she’s nuts.
That phony sounding therapy from the psychiatrist sounds like a lead-in to a scam on Law and Order SVU. Let Det. Terry Bruno and Ice-T rough him up a little.
SVU, season 21 episode “We Dream of Machine Elves,” Detective Amanda Rollins goes undercover by joining a spiritual/psychology group led by a suspicious professor, played by Adam Arkin. She poses as a vulnerable student to gather information on the professor, who is suspected of drugging and assaulting tourists.

She is Godless, and so prone to mental illness. This, I think, is the principal cause of the wild irrationality and anger of the Left. The unresolved guilt they carry around with them is exhausting and destructive; their conduct follows accordingly.
If laudanum were still in vogue, she would probably consume it by the case.
A bartender... and Ketamine. There’s a combo...
TDS
She is crazy, but will psychotherapy do any good? I doubt it.
Can she legally use campaign money for that?
She has been heard saying, “W-i-l-b-u-r!!!”
No known treatment for terminal TDS.
Thanks. The Ramones were awesome in their own particular way. Two Tons of Steel from Texas, often plays this song at Gruene Hall
