IV Ketamine & Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
What is IV Ketamine?
IV Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic medication that can also be used as an off-label, non-FDA-approved treatment for treatment-resistant depression and other mental health conditions. IV Ketamine is administered intravenously as an infusion and can show symptom relief as soon as the first treatment. We generally recommend an initial course of 3-6 infusions with the possibility of additional treatments, depending on the response to the medication. Because IV Ketamine is being used off-label for treatment-resistant depression, it is not covered by insurance.
Is IV Ketamine Right for You?
​Ketamine can not only have a strong antidepressant effect, but is also an excellent tool in conjunction with psychotherapy. We highly encourage our patients who are receiving ketamine treatments to work with a trusted therapist to reach the best results throughout their treatment. If you have an interest in integrating psychotherapy with IV Ketamine, please ask us about this option.

An Alternative, Off-Label Option for Depression
IV Ketamine is an off-label treatment that has shown remarkable promise in helping people with depression, especially those who haven’t found relief with traditional medications.​
This therapy is administered as a controlled infusion under medical supervision, helping to restore balance in key brain pathways involved in mood and emotional regulation.
For patients who don’t qualify for SPRAVATO® insurance coverage or need treatment more urgently, IV Ketamine offers a safe and effective alternative.
IV Ketamine is both safe and effective.

PROVIDER CONSULTATION
Where Healing and Hope Begin

FIRST TREATMENT
Safe, Supportive, and Personalized
Your first IV Ketamine treatment is designed to be safe, comfortable, and supportive. After a brief check-in with your provider, you’ll settle into a relaxing space where the medication is given through a small IV over about 40 minutes. Many people describe the experience as calming or dreamlike. Our team stays with you the entire time to ensure you feel at ease. Once the session ends, you’ll rest for a short while before heading home with a trusted friend or family member to drive you.
TREATMENT OVERVIEW
A treatment specialized for you
01
Arrival
When you arrive for your IV Ketamine session, you’ll be welcomed by our team and escorted to a private treatment room. Our friendly staff will guide you to a comfortable reclining chair where you can relax. We’ll review your treatment plan, answer any questions, and ensure you feel at ease before beginning your infusion.
03
Treatment
During treatment, a carefully measured dose of Ketamine is administered through the IV over 40–60 minutes. You may experience mild sensations such as lightheadedness or feeling detached, which are normal and temporary. Throughout the session, our medical team will monitor you closely to ensure your comfort and safety.
02
Preparation
Before starting your infusion, your provider will take time to review your health status and make sure you are fully comfortable. An IV line will be gently placed in your arm, and you’ll be given a cozy, calm environment with optional comforts such as blankets or music to help you relax during your session.
04
After Treatment
Once your infusion is complete, you’ll spend a short time in recovery while our staff ensures you’re feeling steady. Most patients leave the same day with a friend or family member to drive them home. Many notice mood improvements within hours to days. Your provider will check in regularly to track your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
