Understanding Ketamine Therapy: What You Need to Know
The Mental Health Benefits of Ketamine Therapy
- Fast symptom relief. Symptoms recede faster than traditional antidepressants, which often require a lengthy onboarding process.
- Psychological healing. Impaired neuroplasticity is considered by most mental health experts to be closely linked to depressive symptoms.
- Enhanced quality of life. Patients often report improved mood, increased motivation, and a renewed sense of hope.
- Mental breakthroughs. Administered in small doses, ketamine can produce mild dissociative effects that contribute to shifts in attitude and profound mental breakthroughs.
- Minimal side effects. Used properly, ketamine has minor, short-term side effects — and rarer known long-term side effects.

What To Expect from Ketamine Treatment?
Under the expert guidance of Dr. Elena Christofides, you will undergo an initial evaluation — which can be done remotely with our telehealth options — to assess your condition and individual needs, so we can create a treatment plan customized just for you. If you are a good candidate, your ketamine treatment will take place in a calm, supportive, and private environment, where the treatment will be administered over the course of a few hours.
On the day of your treatment, our compassionate and well-trained nurse practitioners oversee your prep, ensure your comfort, and monitory your progress every step of the way, taking the extra time necessary to guarantee you have everything you need; we respect what ketamine therapy can do, and refuse to leave any risk or negative side effect to chance. We perform the injections for you, so you can have maximum comfort and relaxation during your session. Your safety and comfort come first, which is why we provide the most tightly controlled environment and best-trained ketamine treatment monitors in the area.
Ketamine treatment does cause some mild dissociative effects, so we require that patients arrange an alternate ride home. Afterward, our experienced team will assess your response to the therapy, making any necessary adjustments to ensure the most effective path forward.
