Ketamine-
Assisted
Therapy
When depression, anxiety, or PTSD haven't responded to traditional treatment — there's still hope. Family Healthcare offers ketamine-assisted therapy administered by licensed psychiatric providers for patients who need a clinically advanced option. $50 per visit. For most qualifying patients.
A Clinically Supported Option When Others Haven't Worked
Ketamine-assisted therapy offers an evidence-backed alternative for patients with treatment-resistant conditions.
When traditional treatment hasn't been enough.
Ketamine-assisted therapy is not a first-line treatment — it's for patients who have tried other approaches and haven't found the relief they need. If that's you, this may be worth an honest conversation with a provider.
A real option — not a last resort.
Ketamine-assisted therapy has a growing body of clinical research supporting its use for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It works through a different mechanism than traditional antidepressants — which is why it can be effective for patients who haven't responded to them.
At Family Healthcare, your evaluation is thorough and honest. Our providers will assess your history, current treatment, and goals before making any recommendation — and will discuss the realistic expectations, benefits, and considerations clearly.
Ketamine-assisted therapy is most effective as part of an integrated treatment plan that includes ongoing therapeutic support.
How Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Works
A careful, clinically supervised process — from evaluation through treatment and follow-up care.
Psychiatric Evaluation
Before any treatment begins, your provider will conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation — reviewing your history, prior treatments, current medications, and goals — to determine whether ketamine-assisted therapy is appropriate for you.
ProvidersKetamine-Assisted Sessions
Treatment sessions are conducted in a clinical setting under direct provider supervision. Ketamine works differently from standard antidepressants — targeting different receptors in the brain — which is why it can produce relief for patients who haven't responded to traditional medications.
Clinically AdministeredIntegration with Therapy
Ketamine-assisted therapy produces the best outcomes when integrated with ongoing therapeutic support. Our licensed therapists work alongside your psychiatric provider to help you process and build on the shifts that occur during treatment.
IntegratedMonitoring & Adjustment
Your provider will monitor your response throughout the treatment process and adjust the approach as needed. Ketamine therapy typically involves a series of sessions — your provider will discuss the recommended protocol based on your specific situation.
Ongoing OversightFollow-Up & Maintenance
After the initial treatment series, your provider will discuss maintenance options and ongoing care to help sustain and build on the results you've achieved — including continued therapy, medication management, or periodic follow-up sessions.
Long-Term SupportHonest Conversation About Whether It's Right for You
Ketamine-assisted therapy isn't appropriate for every patient. Our providers will give you an honest assessment of whether you're a good candidate, what realistic outcomes look like, and what the full picture of your treatment should include. No pressure — just a real conversation with a provider who takes your care seriously.
Transparent & Patient-FirstA different mechanism. A different result.
Traditional antidepressants work on serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine systems — and for many patients, they work well. But a significant portion of people with depression don't respond adequately to these medications, even after trying multiple options.
Ketamine works on different pathways in the brain and can produce antidepressant effects much faster than traditional medications — sometimes within hours or days of a session. For patients who have spent months or years searching for relief, that speed can be significant.
At Family Healthcare, ketamine-assisted therapy is delivered by licensed providers in a clinical setting — with the safety, oversight, and integration with ongoing care that produces the best outcomes.
Clinically Supported
Ketamine-assisted therapy has a growing body of research supporting its use for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD — not an experimental fringe treatment.
Faster-Acting Relief
For patients with severe symptoms, the relatively rapid onset of ketamine's effects can be meaningful — compared to the weeks-long wait for traditional antidepressants to take effect.

All ketamine-assisted therapy at Family Healthcare is administered and monitored by licensed providers.
$50 Per Visit
