Fast Acting Relief When Nothing Else Has Helped
A Breakthrough Treatment for Depression, Anxiety and PTSD
Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine Therapy is a powerful, research-backed treatment option for individuals experiencing major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and other mood-related conditions. For people who have tried multiple medications without meaningful improvement, ketamine can offer fast, restorative relief — often within hours to days.
Instead of targeting serotonin like traditional antidepressants, ketamine works on the glutamate system, helping the brain rebuild damaged neural pathways and restore healthier emotional functioning. Many patients describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more hopeful after just a few sessions.
At Attuned Psychiatry, we offer Intramuscular (IM) Ketamine and Oral Ketamine formulations, administered and monitored by a trained medical team in a calm, supportive environment.
Why Choose Us for Ketamine Therapy?
How Ketamine Therapy Works
Ketamine is used “off-label” in much lower doses for psychiatric treatment.
Research shows that Ketamine can:
Stabilize mood
Support trauma recovery
Reduce suicidal thoughts
Improve emotional processing
Increase motivation and clarity
Break through long-standing depressive cycles
What to Expect on Your Care Journey
Brain Changes After
Advanced Depression Treatments
This PET scan shows brain activity using color, where blue and purple represent low energy and yellow and red represent high energy. It illustrates how a "depressed" brain is physically less active—essentially dimmed down—while a "healthy" brain is vibrant and fully engaged. The comparison highlights that depression is a biological state, but one that can be "recharged" and restored through treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ketamine covered by insurance?
Ketamine used for mental health treatment (injection or oral) is not FDA-approved for depression and is therefore not covered by insurance. We explain all costs transparently during your consultation.
How quickly will I see results?
Some patients notice relief within hours, while many experience meaningful improvement within the first several sessions. However, every person’s healing journey is unique.
What are common side effects?
Temporary side effects may include mild dizziness, nausea, dissociation, or elevated heart rate. These effects typically pass quickly and are monitored by our clinical team throughout the session.
Can I combine ketamine with Spravato® or TMS?
Yes. Ketamine may be used while awaiting insurance authorization for Spravato® or TMS. Our clinicians will help determine the safest and most effective sequence or combination of treatments.
Can I drive home afterward?
No. Because ketamine can temporarily affect reaction time, you will need someone to drive you home after each session.
