FAQs

Is Ketamine Therapy Safe?

Ketamine has a long-standing safety record in both surgical and mental health settings. In therapeutic doses, it’s well-tolerated. Side effects are usually mild and temporary — these may include dissociation, nausea, or dizziness, which typically resolve shortly after the session.

At our clinic, trained professionals are present at every session to ensure your safety and comfort.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ketamine therapy may be a good option if:

You’ve tried multiple antidepressants or medications without lasting improvement
You’re dealing with chronic anxiety or PTSD
You’re looking for alternatives to long-term medication
You’re not in active substance use or psychotic episodes

How long do the results from ketamine therapy last?

Everyone responds differently. Some patients experience relief for several weeks or longer after a short series. Ongoing “booster” sessions may be recommended as needed.

Will I be awake during the infusion session?

Yes. You may feel deeply relaxed or slightly detached from your surroundings, but you remain conscious and supervised the entire time.

Is it covered by insurance?

At this time, most insurance plans don’t cover ketamine therapy for mental health. We offer flexible payment options and can provide documentation if you’d like to seek reimbursement.

Can I combine ketamine with therapy?

Absolutely. In fact, many patients find that therapy becomes more effective when combined with ketamine, as it can help reduce emotional resistance and increase self-awareness.
