Depression
Depression
Depression affects how you feel, think, and function over long periods. For adults who have not found sufficient relief through other treatments, ketamine therapy is evaluated as part of a structured, clinician-guided model — starting with a thorough medical screening to determine whether this approach is clinically appropriate.
If you are approved, treatment follows a structured protocol: preparation, guided supervised sessions at our Clinton, MD facility, and integration support. Care does not end with a session — clinician check-ins and follow-up are built into the process.
What to expect from this pathway:
-
Clinical screening required
Eligibility is determined by a licensed clinician reviewing your medical history and current medications.
-
clinical team supervision
Sessions are supervised at our Clinton, MD center with direct clinical oversight.
-
Preparation support
Before sessions begin you receive clear guidance on environment, scheduling, and what to expect.
-
Integration and follow-up
After each session, integration prompts and clinician check-ins help you process and apply what came up.
Questions about depression
If you have a question not covered here, our care team is happy to help.
Is depression treatable with ketamine therapy?
Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis through clinical screening. Not every presentation of depression qualifies. A licensed clinician reviews your medical history, current medications, and support environment before any decision is made.
What does the intake process involve?
The intake process starts with a consultation to review your health history and current situation. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, and the clinician will explain whether ketamine therapy is appropriate and what the treatment protocol would look like.
How is in-person supervision handled?
In-person sessions are supervised by licensed clinical staff at our Clinton, MD center. This supervision is a non-negotiable safety requirement.
How do I get started?
Start by checking your eligibility. The process is straightforward — complete the eligibility screening, and if appropriate, you will be connected with a licensed clinician to begin the intake process.
