WHO IT HELPS
Ketamine has shown remarkable results for patients who haven't found adequate relief with traditional treatments — including antidepressants, therapy, or pain medications.
Particularly important to our mission as a veteran-founded clinic. Ketamine can rapidly reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and provide lasting relief from PTSD symptoms.
For patients who haven't responded to antidepressants, ketamine works through a completely different mechanism — often producing noticeable improvement within hours of the first infusion.
Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and OCD have all shown strong responses to ketamine therapy. Many patients report a profound sense of calm and perspective shift following treatment.
Ketamine can interrupt chronic pain signals by blocking NMDA receptors. It has shown effectiveness for fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), neuropathic pain, and more.
Ketamine infusions can break the cycle of refractory migraines and chronic headaches that have not responded to standard treatments. Many patients experience rapid reduction in headache frequency and intensity.
Ketamine is one of the only treatments shown to rapidly reduce suicidal thoughts — often within hours. For patients in acute crisis, it offers hope when other treatments have failed or take too long to act.

THE SCIENCE
Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that, at sub-anesthetic doses, has proven to be one of the most powerful tools available for rapidly treating depression, PTSD, and chronic pain. Unlike traditional antidepressants that target serotonin, ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors and triggering the growth of new synaptic connections in the brain — a process called neuroplasticity.
Traditional antidepressants take 4–6 weeks. Ketamine can begin working within hours to days — making it transformative for acute crises and treatment-resistant cases.
Ketamine blocks NMDA receptors and stimulates AMPA receptors, triggering a surge of glutamate that promotes new neural connections — literally rewiring stuck thought patterns.
Administered at sub-anesthetic doses under medical supervision, ketamine therapy has an excellent safety profile. You remain conscious throughout and are monitored by our clinical team.
THE PROCESS
We ensure every patient is properly screened, prepared, and supported throughout their ketamine therapy journey.
Medical Screening
We begin with a comprehensive medical and psychiatric history review to confirm you're a good candidate. We discuss your goals, expectations, and any contraindications before proceeding.
Your Session
Sessions are administered in our comfortable, private clinic space. You relax in a reclining chair with an IV infusion running over 40–60 minutes. Our team monitors you throughout. Music and eye shades are often used to enhance the experience.
Integration & Follow-Up
Most treatment protocols involve a series of 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks for maximum benefit. We check in after each session, track your progress, and work with your existing care team as needed.
