Vice President

Renee C. St.Clair

Ms. St.Clair is an Attorney At Law with twenty-five years in private practice, including twelve years as co-owner, co-manager, and partner of a Southern California law firm, England, Ponticello & St.Clair.  She is a state certified workers’ compensation specialist, was voted amongst the top employment attorneys in California in 2008, is a recognized expert in the medical-legal application of the AMA Guides To The Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, and proudly capped off her professional legal career as part of a legal team successfully litigating a maritime law case before The Supreme Court of the United States in 2018.  She is admitted to practice before The Supreme Court of the United States, the U.S. Court of Appeals For Veterans Claims, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, and the Supreme Court of California. While Ms. St.Clair’s profession is in the legal field, her passion lies with mental health treatment issues; specifically assuring parity in accessing advanced psychiatric treatments such as TMS, ketamine, psilocybin and other psychedelic medications soon to be approved for mainstream use.  She served as COO of Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute, where she began advocacy on behalf of San Diego veterans seeking ketamine treatment in the community under the Mission Act. Ms. St.Clair firmly believes that mental health, well-being, and life-saving treatments, such as ketamine, should not be out of reach of those without the means to pay the costly clinic fees.  Thus, she joined our team as an advisor and advocate to help push for Medicare and insurance coverage of ketamine for patients suffering from chronic pain, depression, and/or suicidal ideation.
