Ketamine therapy is an innovative, FDA-approved treatment that works rapidly to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Unlike traditional medications that can take weeks to show effects, ketamine therapy often produces results within hours to days. Administered in a controlled clinical setting via IV infusion, ketamine works by creating new neural pathways in the brain, offering relief when conventional treatments have failed. Our personalized protocols ensure each patient receives the optimal dosage and care for their specific condition, all under close medical supervision.
Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray specifically developed for adults with treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts. Because it carries full FDA approval for this use, most commercial insurance plans and Medicare cover Spravato treatment, a meaningful difference for patients who’ve felt priced out of other options. You’ll self-administer the nasal spray in our clinic under the supervision of our medical team, then rest comfortably for a two-hour monitoring period required by the FDA’s REMS safety program. Like IV ketamine, Spravato acts on the brain’s glutamate system to help lift depression faster than traditional antidepressants, often within weeks rather than months.

608-893-6552Yes, when administered in a medically-supervised setting like ours. Ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for over 50 years. Our experienced medical team monitors you throughout each treatment session, carefully controlling dosage and ensuring your vital signs remain stable.
Faster than traditional antidepressants, which often take four to six weeks. Some people notice a lift in mood or clarity within hours or days of their first session. Others don’t feel much until their third or fourth infusion, and that’s normal too, healing rarely follows a straight path. We track your progress with standardized assessments at every visit, so we’re measuring real change rather than guessing. Individual results vary.
Most people start with a series of six infusions over two to three weeks. Research supports this closely spaced approach, since repeated sessions appear to help the brain build new connections in ways a single treatment can’t. After the series, many patients maintain their progress with occasional booster sessions, some every few weeks, others months apart. SPRAVATO® follows its own FDA-approved schedule. We’ll build your plan together during your free consultation.
Here’s the honest answer: IV ketamine is self-pay, because this use is off-label and insurers generally don’t reimburse it. Our pricing is posted openly, and we accept HSA and FSA funds, offer CareCredit financing, and give a 20% discount year-round to military, veterans, and first responders through our Healing Our Heroes program. SPRAVATO® is different, it’s FDA-approved, most major plans cover it, and we handle the prior authorization for you.
We treat both mental health and chronic pain conditions, including treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, postpartum depression, PMDD, panic attacks, prolonged grief, burnout, substance use, and end-of-life distress. On the pain side, we work with fibromyalgia, neuropathy, CRPS, migraines, and restless leg syndrome. Ketamine therapy isn’t right for everyone, and it works best alongside therapy and ongoing care rather than in place of it. A free consultation is the simplest way to find out whether it fits your situation.
