Ketamine Therapy
You deserve to feel better. When traditional medications and therapy haven't provided the relief you need, ketamine therapy offers a scientifically-backed path forward — with results that can begin within hours, not weeks.
Schedule a ConsultationWhat is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine is an FDA-approved medication that has been used safely in medical settings for over 50 years. In sub-anesthetic doses, it has demonstrated remarkable antidepressant and anti-anxiety properties — often producing noticeable improvement within hours rather than the weeks required by traditional medications.
At NOW Mental Health, we offer ketamine therapy under the direct supervision of licensed medical professionals. Each session is conducted in a comfortable, private clinical setting designed to optimize your treatment experience.
Ketamine works differently from traditional antidepressants. Rather than targeting serotonin or norepinephrine, it acts on the glutamate system and promotes neuroplasticity — essentially helping your brain form new, healthier neural connections.
