We’re a team of clinicians and staff who have dedicated our lives to research, education, and treating those with mental health conditions. We’re especially passionate about helping those with Treatment-Resistant Depression and providing the most advanced therapies available, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and esketamine nasal spray, both FDA-approved for advanced depression. Mental health conditions can be profoundly painful and isolating, making it difficult to seek help. Our team provides a unique, patient-centered experience to help you find the appropriate treatment and relief from your symptoms. We’re grateful to be practicing psychiatry during this era in which there are so many new treatment possibilities and new hope for those with mental health conditions.
Our Austin clinics provide a specialized, rapid-acting approach for residents seeking relief from treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and other challenging mental health conditions. Unlike traditional clinical settings, we offer ketamine infusion therapy in a medically supervised, comfortable environment. As a breakthrough alternative when standard oral antidepressants haven't provided relief, ketamine offers a different pathway to recovery. This allows patients from vibrant neighborhoods like Downtown, South Austin, and North Austin to access life-changing care without the long wait times typical of conventional treatments.
Clinical teams in Austin focus on achieving rapid symptom relief by targeting the brain's glutamate system through IV infusion. While traditional antidepressants can take weeks to work, ketamine often begins to alleviate depressive symptoms within hours or days of the first infusion. Our facilities are strategically located throughout Austin to be easily accessible for those living and working in one of Texas's most vibrant and fastest-growing cities. During your initial consultation, we provide a detailed overview of how ketamine works on the brain's neurotransmitters to ensure you understand this innovative approach to mental health treatment.

Clinical teams typically follow a structured schedule: an initial loading phase of 4-6 infusions over 2-3 weeks, followed by maintenance infusions scheduled based on individual response and needs. Many patients experience significant improvement within the first few sessions.
Our Austin facilities primarily treat adults with Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), anxiety disorders, and patients with acute suicidal ideation. Ketamine therapy is also used for other conditions as determined by our clinical team during your evaluation.
While a referral is not always required, we do recommend an initial consultation with one of our psychiatrists to assess whether ketamine therapy is appropriate for your specific condition and medical history. This ensures you receive the most effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
