When trauma keeps its grip
PTSD can include intrusive memories, hypervigilance, avoidance, emotional numbness, disrupted sleep, and a nervous system that feels constantly on alert. These symptoms are real, common after trauma, and treatable.
Trauma-focused therapy is a cornerstone of care. When symptoms remain difficult despite treatment, some people explore whether IV ketamine could help. A consultation is the place to discuss your history with a medical provider and whether this is a reasonable option.
Creating space for trauma work
A different pathway
Ketamine works through the glutamate system and is thought to support neuroplasticity and emotional processing.
Better access to therapy
Many patients find ketamine creates a window in which trauma-focused therapy and integration become more accessible.
A safe, monitored setting
Sessions take place in a private, calm room with attentive monitoring from the clinical team.
IV ketamine is not designed to force you to relive traumatic memories. Most patients experience a calm, detached, dream-like state. We create a quiet, supportive environment and monitor you throughout.
What treatment may involve
Protocols are individualized. Many patients begin with a short series of infusions, with progress reviewed throughout, and then consider whether maintenance sessions are helpful.
Ketamine is most effective as part of a broader plan that includes psychotherapy and ongoing support. It is not a cure, results vary, and treatment is recommended only after a clinical evaluation.
