What is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine therapy is a fast-acting treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. By targeting the brain’s glutamate system, it promotes neuroplasticity—helping the brain rewire itself and break free from harmful patterns. Medically supervised infusions often provide relief within hours, offering new hope when other treatments have failed.
How Does Ketamine Work?
Ketamine helps by “resetting” parts of the brain that are stuck in negative thought patterns. Instead of targeting serotonin like traditional antidepressants, it works through the glutamate system to boost neuroplasticity—your brain’s ability to form new, healthier pathways. This makes it easier to break cycles of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or chronic pain. Many people experience relief within hours or days, as the brain becomes more flexible and open to change.
What Is the Success Rate for Ketamine Treatment?
Ketamine therapy has a 70% success rate in treating depression, PTSD, and anxiety, far higher than traditional antidepressants. At our clinic, where ketamine is combined with coaching and supportive care, success rates are even greater. Many patients report significant symptom relief after their initial infusion series, often improving where other treatments have failed.

Our Ketamine Therapy Services
Anxiety locks the brain in fear and overwhelm. Ketamine therapy helps by reopening blocked neural pathways, allowing your mind to process emotions more clearly and calmly. Unlike traditional treatments, it works quickly, often within days, offering real relief and renewed mental flexibility for those struggling with anxiety. Read more
While most depression is still treated with SSRIs or SNRIs, these medications work for less than half of patients and often come with side effects. Ketamine infusion therapy is an innovative approach that restores brain connections and offers fast, effective relief. Read more
PTSD isn’t just about painful memories—it’s a rewiring of the brain caused by layers of trauma over time. This can lead to chronic stress, emotional numbness, and anxiety. Ketamine therapy helps by quickly resetting these patterns, allowing the brain to process trauma with less emotional intensity and greater clarity. Read more
Chronic pain lasts long after the body has healed, often rewiring the nervous system to keep sending pain signals. When traditional treatments fall short, ketamine offers a new path—helping to reset how the brain processes pain and providing relief for those living with constant or treatment-resistant discomfort. Read more
Migraines are intense neurological events, not just severe headaches. When traditional treatments fail, ketamine offers a powerful alternative by targeting the brain’s pain pathways. It helps reset overactive nerve signals, reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines, and providing lasting relief for those with treatment-resistant migraine pain. Read more
Ketamine opens the door to deep healing by enhancing neuroplasticity, but lasting change comes from what happens after the infusion. Integration coaching helps patients process insights and apply them to real life. With guided support, individuals turn ketamine experiences into meaningful, long-term transformation and personal growth. Read more
Neuropathic pain is caused by damaged nerves that constantly send pain signals, even without injury. Unlike traditional medications, ketamine works at the neurological level, calming overactive nerves and resetting pain pathways. This helps reduce persistent burning, tingling, and discomfort—offering long-term relief where other treatments often fall short. Read more
Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain and fatigue, often resistant to traditional treatments. Ketamine offers a new approach by targeting the brain’s pain pathways, not just masking symptoms. When infused at low doses, it helps reset how the nervous system processes pain—providing real relief for those living with chronic discomfort. Read more
The Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a minimally invasive procedure that helps reset an overactive fight-or-flight response. By calming the sympathetic nervous system, SGB can rapidly reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress—often within minutes. It offers hope when traditional treatments haven’t provided lasting relief. Read more
