Ketamine Treatment for Depression, PTSD, Anxiety & Chronic Pain
If you've tried medications that didn't work, therapies that fell short, or you've been told to "just give it more time" — you're not out of options. Ketamine works differently than anything you've tried before, and for approximately 70% of patients, it provides the relief that other treatments couldn't.
When Your Mind Won't Let You
Live Your Life
Depression, PTSD, and anxiety can make every day feel like a battle. If the medications you've tried haven't given you relief — or the side effects made things worse — ketamine offers a fundamentally different approach.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
You've tried antidepressants — maybe several — and you still wake up feeling the same. Ketamine targets a completely different system in your brain, and relief can come within hours, not weeks.
Learn More →Severe Depression
When depression is so heavy that getting through the day feels impossible — when the darkness doesn't lift no matter what you try — ketamine can offer rapid relief that gives you space to breathe again.
Learn More →PTSD
The flashbacks. The hypervigilance. The feeling that your nervous system never turns off. If you're living with PTSD that hasn't responded to therapy or medication, ketamine can help quiet the noise.
Learn More →Clinical Anxiety
When the tightness in your chest never fully goes away, and constant worry makes it hard to be present with the people you love — you deserve more than "managing symptoms."
Learn More →Postpartum Depression
This was supposed to be the happiest time of your life — and instead, you're struggling. You're not a bad mother. You're not broken. Ketamine's rapid relief means you don't have to wait weeks.
Learn More →Suicidal Ideation
If you're in crisis, please call 988 or go to your nearest ER. If you're experiencing ongoing suicidal thoughts that haven't responded to treatment, ketamine has shown rapid anti-suicidal effects in clinical research.
Learn More →Bipolar Disorder
The depressive episodes of bipolar disorder can be devastating — and many traditional antidepressants carry risks of triggering mania. Ketamine offers a different pathway that may help during depressive episodes.
Learn More →OCD
When intrusive thoughts and compulsions control your daily life despite medication and therapy, emerging research suggests ketamine may offer relief by targeting the glutamate system.
Learn More →Substance Use Recovery
Recovery is hard enough without untreated depression or anxiety pulling you back. Ketamine may help address the underlying mental health conditions that make staying sober so difficult.

Hurting
Chronic pain changes everything — your sleep, your mood, your relationships, your ability to work. If you've cycled through medications, injections, and procedures without lasting relief, ketamine targets pain through a mechanism that most other treatments can't reach.
CRPS
If you're living with CRPS, you know most people — even some doctors — don't fully understand your pain. Ketamine is one of the most effective treatments for CRPS, with some patients experiencing relief lasting months.
Learn More →Chronic Migraines
You've canceled plans. You've missed work. You've spent days in dark rooms waiting for it to pass. If preventive medications and triptans aren't giving you your life back, it's time for something different.
Learn More →Fibromyalgia
The widespread pain, the fatigue, the feeling that your body is working against you. Ketamine works on the central sensitization that drives fibromyalgia — addressing the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Learn More →Neuropathic Pain
Burning, tingling, shooting pain that medications barely touch. Neuropathic pain happens when your nervous system itself is damaged — and ketamine targets the NMDA receptors at the heart of that dysfunction.
Learn More →Chronic Back Pain
When the pain never fully goes away — when it's the first thing you feel in the morning and the last thing you feel at night — you deserve a treatment that addresses the neurological component, not just the physical.
Learn More →Other Pain Conditions
Ketamine is also being used for rheumatoid arthritis pain, phantom limb pain, post-surgical pain, and other chronic pain conditions. If your pain hasn't responded to conventional treatments, let's talk.

Ketamine Helps It Get There Faster.
Unlike traditional treatments that take weeks and target serotonin, ketamine works on the glutamate system — your brain's most abundant neurotransmitter — to rapidly repair neural connections that depression, trauma, and chronic pain have damaged.
A Different Pathway
If antidepressants or pain medications haven't worked for you, it doesn't mean you can't be helped. It means those treatments were targeting the wrong system. Ketamine works on the glutamate/NMDA system — which is why it helps people who've failed other treatments.
Your Brain Rebuilds
Ketamine promotes neuroplasticity — helping your brain repair damaged connections and form new, healthy pathways. This is why patients describe feeling like a fog has lifted. Your brain isn't broken. It just needs the right help.
Relief, Not Side Effects
Side effects are mild and temporary — wearing off within two hours. No weight gain. No sexual dysfunction. No emotional numbing. Just a gentle treatment supervised by a physician who has used ketamine safely for 25+ years.
Not All Ketamine Is Given
the Same Way.
Ketamine can be administered several different ways, and the method matters. Dosing precision, bioavailability, and how closely your care team can monitor and adjust your session all depend on it. Here's how the options compare — and why we've built our clinic around one of them exclusively.
What We Offer
Delivered directly into the bloodstream at a controlled rate, with near-complete bioavailability. Your physician can adjust your dose in real time based on how you're responding — something no other method allows. It's the modality used in the vast majority of clinical ketamine research, and it's the only method we offer.
Intramuscular
A single injection into muscle tissue. Faster to administer than IV, but once it's given, the dose can't be adjusted mid-session — you're committed to whatever was injected, even if your response calls for less.
Lozenges & Troches
Dissolved under the tongue, often for at-home use. Convenient, but absorption is inconsistent from person to person and significantly lower than IV — which makes dosing far less predictable.
Nasal Spray
Includes FDA-approved esketamine (Spravato). Absorption depends on nasal tissue and technique, and — like IM — the dose is fixed once administered, with no ability to titrate during the session.
Why we only offer IV infusion: it's the method that gives your physician the most control, the most predictable dosing, and the most ability to keep you safe and comfortable throughout your session. When your wellbeing is on the line, we don't think that's a place to compromise.

Ketamine & EXOMIND.
Two Paths to the Same Goal.
Ketamine and EXOMIND work on your brain in different — and complementary — ways. Ketamine opens a window of neuroplasticity from within, helping damaged neural connections repair and rebuild. EXOMIND, an FDA-cleared, drug-free brain-stimulation therapy (TMS), works from the outside in, directly targeting the brain circuits responsible for mood regulation, focus, and impulse control. Used together, many patients find the two therapies reinforce each other — the neuroplasticity ketamine creates gives EXOMIND's targeted stimulation more to work with.
