Ketamine works differently than traditional psychiatric medications by blocking NMDA receptors and promoting BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) production, literally growing new neural connections. This neuroplasticity allows patients to break free from entrenched patterns of depression, pain, and trauma response. Our medical supervision ensures both safety and optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Our Comprehensive Consultation Process:

• Initial Medical Evaluation: James conducts a thorough telehealth consultation to assess your medical history and treatment goals

• Ketamine Pre-Screening: If ketamine therapy is appropriate, you'll complete a specialized pre-screening form to ensure safety and candidacy

• On-Site Preparation Session: Tony performs an additional 20-minute consultation before your treatment, including specific ketamine assessment, expectation setting, and intention-setting guidance to optimize your therapeutic experience

• Treatment Delivery: Physician-supervised ketamine administration in a comfortable, healing-focused environment

Treatment progression:

• During Treatment: Dissociative effects typically last 45-60 minutes

• Day 1-3: Initial mood lift, reduced rumination

• Week 1: Improved sleep, decreased anxiety

• 2-6 sessions: Significant mood improvement, pain reduction

• Long-term: Sustained remission with maintenance sessions as needed
