What we treat

Care for the mind, planned per person.

We provide treatment for a range of mental health conditions and the symptoms that travel with them.

Ketamine therapy is given as a series of sessions, and the number needed varies by individual. Generic ketamine for mood disorders is prescribed off-label. The regulatory note below explains what that means.

How ketamine therapy works

Explained plainly.

What research suggests is happening, in plain language. Not everyone responds, and your practitioner will talk you through what's known and what isn't.

  1. Neuroplasticity

    Ketamine is thought to help the brain form new connections between neurons, which may help ease low mood and negative thought patterns.

  2. Glutamate activity

    It increases glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in learning, memory and emotional regulation.

  3. Loosening rigid thinking

    It may temporarily soften the stuck loops that contribute to depression, anxiety, PTSD and rumination.

  4. A window for the work

    The period after a session is thought to be a useful time for reflection and support, which is why sessions are planned as a course rather than one-offs.

  1. 1

    Assessment first

  2. 2

    A planned course

    Ketamine therapy is given as a series of sessions. The number varies by individual and is set with you, not sold as a package.

  3. 3

    Supervision throughout

    You're monitored during treatment by our clinical team, and we review how you're responding between sessions.

Questions

What people ask us first.

Anything else? Call (239) 360-6253, any day from 8am to 8pm.

What if I'm in crisis right now?

Call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. This page is information, not emergency care.

Is this the same as the ketamine in the news?

Ketamine has a long history of clinical use. What matters is the setting, the dose and the supervision, and those are clinical decisions your practitioner makes and explains to you first.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies by individual. Your practitioner sets a plan with you after assessment rather than quoting a number up front.

Can I stay on my current medication?

Bring a full list to your consultation. Interactions are part of the assessment, and some medications matter a great deal here.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Then we'll say so. Response varies, and part of a planned course is reviewing honestly whether it's helping you.

Regulatory note: esketamine (Spravato) is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression. Generic ketamine used for mood disorders is prescribed off-label, which is lawful and common in clinical practice but isn't the same as FDA approval for that use. Your practitioner will explain exactly what's being prescribed and why. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. This page is information, not emergency care.
