Ketamine affects the brain’s glutamate system, which can help form new neural connections and improve mood. It may also help "reset" certain brain patterns linked to depression.

People who have not found relief from traditional treatments for depression, anxiety, or PTSD may benefit. A thorough psychiatric evaluation helps determine if it’s a good fit.

When administered in a medical setting by trained professionals, ketamine therapy is considered safe. Side effects, like mild dissociation or dizziness, are usually short-lived. We will discuss all risks and benefits with you before your first session.

Ketamine is most effective when combined with therapy, lifestyle support, and mental health care. Many mental health medications are compatible with ketamine therapy, and we will work with you to create a plan specific to your care.

We typically recommend a series of 4 to 8 ketamine sessions over the course of 2 to 8 weeks. To enhance and sustain the benefits, we also encourage integration therapy between treatments, providing a space to process your experience and apply insights in ways that support lasting change.
