Ketamine assisted therapy is a modern psychiatric treatment that uses low,
carefully controlled doses of ketamine to relieve symptoms of depression and other mood disorders. Originally introduced decades ago as a safe surgical anaesthetic, ketamine has since been studied extensively for its effects on mood. At our Manhattan clinic, every dose is administered and monitored by board-certified psychiatrists in a calm, clinical setting.
What makes ketamine different is how it works in the brain. Most
antidepressants target the serotonin system and can take four to six weeks tomake a difference. Ketamine acts on the brain's glutamate and NMDA
receptor system, which is believed to promote neuroplasticity, the brain's
ability to form new neural connections. This mechanism is one reason
ketamine can sometimes help people who have not responded to traditional
medications.
For New Yorkers across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and northern New
Jersey, ketamine assisted therapy in New York offers another evidence-
based option when standard treatments have fallen short. It is not a quick fix
or a take-home prescription. It is a supervised medical treatment delivered aspart of a personalised plan.
Ketamine's antidepressant effects have been studied in numerous peer-
reviewed trials, and esketamine (Spravato®) is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression.
We offer IV, IM, and Spravato under one roof, so your psychiatrist can match the
right approach to your situation.
IV INFUSION
A precise, low-dose infusion delivered slowly in our clinic over a roughly 40- minute monitored session. Dosing is tightly controlled and your vitals are tracked throughout.
Nasal Spray
An FDA-approved nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression, self-administered under supervision in our REMS-certified clinic and followed by on-site monitoring.
IM INJECTION
A controlled low-dose intramuscular option that some patients prefer as a simpler alternative to IV, administered and monitored in-clinic by our team.
Spravato® (esketamine) is a nasal spray derived from ketamine. It is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression in adults, used together with an oral antidepressant. It is also approved for depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder who have acute suicidal thoughts or behaviour.
Because of its profile, Spravato must be administered in a healthcare setting certified under the FDA's REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) program. After each dose, patients are monitored on-site for at least two hours and cannot drive for the rest of that day, so you will need to arrange a ride home.
This in-clinic model is also why Spravato is more frequently covered by insurance than IV or IM ketamine, which are typically used off-label. Candidates are generally adults whose depression has not responded adequately to other antidepressants. A psychiatrist will onfirm whether it is appropriate for you.

IV and IM ketamine are used off-label and are frequently self-pay. Spravato is FDA-approved and, because it is given in-clinic, is more often covered. We verify your specific coverage for free.
For some patients,
improvements can emerge
within hours or days, rather
than the weeks typical of oral
antidepressants.
Grounded in a growing body of
peer-reviewed research on
ketamine and esketamine for
mood disorders.
Spravato is FDA-approved and
delivered in our REMS-certified
clinic, with structured
monitoring after every dose.
Every session is led by board-
certified psychiatrists in a
controlled setting, with your
vitals tracked throughout.
We review your history, answer
your questions, and verify
insurance coverage at no cost.
A psychiatrist selects the right
approach for you, IV, IM, or
Spravato, based on your
needs.
You're cared for in a
comfortable setting with vitals
tracked throughout each
session.
We support you between and
after sessions, with
maintenance care as clinically
indicated.
You begin with a consultation. We take a careful medical and psychiatric history, discuss your goals, and design a personalised protocol. We also verify your insurance coverage and answerany questions so you feel informed before anything begins.
You're seated comfortably in a quiet, monitored room. A typical session lasts around 40 minutes,
with vitals tracked throughout. Many patients notice a mild, transient sense of dissociation, a
floating or dreamlike feeling, that fades as the session ends. Our team is present the entire time.
Because of the temporary effects, you should not drive on a treatment day, so arrange a ride
home in advance. Many patients benefit from optional integration or therapy support to help
translate the experience into lasting change.
Treatment usually starts with an initial series of sessions, followed by maintenance visits as
clinically indicated. Your psychiatrist tracks your response and adjusts the plan over time, rather
than following a fixed one-size-fits-all schedule.
When administered by trained psychiatrists in a monitored clinical setting,
ketamine has a well-established safety profile. The most common effects are
mild and temporary. Some patients experience brief dizziness, a short-lived
sense of dissociation, mild nausea, or temporary changes in blood pressure.
These typically subside within the monitoring period after a session.
That is exactly why every treatment at our clinic is supervised. We use
controlled, low doses, track your vitals throughout, and keep board-certified
psychiatrists present during care. Ketamine is not suitable for everyone,
including some people with certain cardiovascular or psychiatric conditions,
which is why thorough screening before treatment matters. If ketamine isn't
the right fit, we'll tell you and discuss alternatives.
All sessions are monitored by board-certified psychiatrists. Screening determines whether ketamine is appropriate for you.

I founded Village TMS because so many of my patients had been failed by
standard treatment paths. My approach is unhurried, evidence-driven, and centred on what each person actually needs to feel like themselves again.
I came to TMS after watching patients
cycle through medications that didn't fit them. My focus is precision, matching the right protocol to the right person, and adjusting as we go.
Everything you need to know before your free consultation.
TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, an advanced therapy for mood disorders that uses a TMS machine to deliver safe magnetic pulses to the brain. This approach stimulates underactive areas of the brain linked to mood regulation, helping restore balance and improve emotional health. Many patients turn to TMS when traditional antidepressant medications have not provided relief.
A condition is labeled “treatment-resistant” if symptoms persist despite trying multiple evidence-based therapies. For example, depression is considered treatment-resistant after failing at least two antidepressant medications (at adequate doses and durations) combined with psychotherapy. This doesn’t mean you’re “out of options”—it simply guides us toward advanced therapies like TMS.
Yes, TMS is an outpatient procedure, performed at our Medical Center, allowing you to return to work or school immediately after your appointment. Each session lasts about 15–20 minutes, and no anesthesia is required. Because there is no recovery time, it fits easily into most daily routines.
Unlike antidepressant medications, TMS directly stimulates nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex. This targeted approach reduces the side-effects of TMS while addressing the root cause of mental health conditions. For patients with treatment-resistant depression, TMS can be an important next step when medications alone are not effective.
Yes! TMS can be safely combined with most medications. In fact, many patients use it alongside antidepressants or mood stabilizers. Never stop or adjust medications without consulting your prescribing provider first.
A full treatment course usually includes 20–36 sessions. Each course of treatment is customized to your unique needs. While some patients notice changes within just a few weeks, others may need the full series of treatments to experience maximum benefit.

Our team can provide guidance and help you check directly with your insurance provider to confirm whether benefits are available for your course of treatment. Because every plan is different, verifying coverage is the first step toward determining your treatment pathway.
Some patients opt for periodic “booster” sessions to sustain results, similar to follow-up therapy or dental cleanings. We’ll create a personalized maintenance plan based on your progress and long-term goals.
Yes. In addition to Major Depressive Disorder, TMS Right has shown promise in reducing symptoms of chronic pain, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Bipolar Disorder.
