Where we are

Most people carry their care between two offices.

A prescriber in one, a therapist in another, and very little traffic between them. Here, psychiatry and trauma work happen under one roof, held by a team trained across both, so nobody is asking you to do the translating.

Ketamine therapy in Scottsdale

What ketamine therapy looks like here

We never leave someone alone during a ketamine session. A licensed psychiatric provider is present throughout, helping ensure medical readiness and staying with you through the experience.
1
Psychiatric assessment
Confirms treatment is appropriate and medically safe.
2
Preparation
Always comes first, before any medicine.
3
Medicine sessions
A licensed provider in the room throughout.
4
Integration
Continues afterward.
The medicine is one part of it. The relationship around it is the rest.
i
Ketamine used for depression, PTSD and anxiety is an off-label treatment. It is not FDA approved for these conditions and it is not right for everyone. Whether it's appropriate for you is a clinical decision made after an assessment.
