Ketamine is a fast-acting medication that boosts brain flexibility by creating new neural pathways, helping relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more.
Most describe it as peaceful, light, or even transformative. Some feel relaxed, while others report a gentle, dreamlike state.
You may experience a rise in blood pressure, slight nausea, or anxiety. We closely monitor you and treat any symptoms immediately.
A typical treatment plan includes six sessions over 2–3 weeks. Many patients feel relief after just one, with boosters as needed.
We offer IV treatments because they’re the safest and most controllable. Other methods don’t allow for real-time dose adjustment.
Most insurance doesn’t cover ketamine yet. However, we can provide a Superbill you can submit for possible reimbursement.
Yes, it’s one of the safest anesthetics. We monitor you throughout the session for blood pressure, oxygen, and heart function to ensure safety.
When used medically and under supervision, Ketamine is not addictive. Recreational misuse is different from controlled clinical use.
Schedule a consultation. Our provider will review your history, medications, and symptoms to determine if Ketamine therapy is a good fit.
Yes. Someone must drive you home and stay with you for several hours post-treatment, as it may temporarily affect your coordination and judgment.
Absolutely. Ketamine works even better when paired with therapy, such as CBT, enhancing both mood and cognitive flexibility.
Some patients feel better within hours. Most notice a steady improvement after a few sessions, especially by the third or fourth infusion.
No. Ketamine is used at sub-anesthetic doses. You remain awake but deeply relaxed or introspective during the experience.
