In recent years, Ketamine-Assisted Therapy has redefined how clinicians approach mental health treatment. Originally used as a dissociative anesthetic, the use of ketamine in psychiatry has proven to promote rapid neuroplasticity and help restore balance to brain circuits disrupted by mental illness.
Our low-dose ketamine treatment minimizes side effects while maintaining strong results. Mild dizziness or a brief dissociative experience may occur but fades quickly. Clinicians monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and comfort during all dosing sessions to ensure safe, precise ketamine administration in a calm, professional setting.
Consultation: Meet with our specialists to review your medical history, goals, and create a personalized treatment plan designed for your comfort and condition.
Custom Plan: Select IV infusions, intramuscular ketamine, or nasal spray options based on your needs. We tailor ketamine dosing for safe, balanced results.
Integration Therapy: Following treatment and integration sessions helps you apply your ketamine experience toward lasting emotional growth.

Ketamine works by stimulating glutamate activity, which helps repair neural pathways that regulate mood and emotional response. This process creates new perspectives and enhances personal growth, allowing patients to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues more effectively.
Yes. When performed under medical supervision, Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is both safe and well-tolerated. Our low-dose protocols ensure stability, and any temporary side effects such as mild nausea or dissociation fade quickly. Studies published in peer-reviewed clinical data confirm its strong safety profile and success rate across various conditions.
A typical program includes six to eight dosing sessions over three to four weeks, followed by optional integration sessions. The number of sessions depends on your treatment plan, condition, and how your body responds to ketamine use. Many patients notice a rapid onset of relief after the first few sessions.
Ketamine therapy has demonstrated results across multiple mental disorders, including treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and trauma-related conditions. It is also being studied for substance use disorders and chronic pain relief through ongoing clinical trials.
Our clinic combines advanced neuroscience with compassionate care. Every patient benefits from personalized medication management, ongoing TalkTherapy, and optional cognitive behavioral therapy to support long-term recovery. We integrate every aspect of your therapeutic process within a professional, comforting environment that fosters trust and emotional resilience.
