A Breakthrough in Mental Health Treatment
Ketamine therapy is an innovative and evidence-based approach to treating mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma-related disorders. Unlike traditional treatments, ketamine works rapidly, often providing relief within hours or days, rather than weeks. At Zephyr Behavioral Health & Wellness, we integrate ketamine therapy with comprehensive mental health support to optimize lasting results.
How Ketamine Works in Mental Health
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been found to have profound effects on mood regulation and neural plasticity. It works by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, which plays a crucial role in mood, learning, and memory. Unlike conventional antidepressants that focus on serotonin and dopamine, ketamine enhances neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new neural connections—allowing individuals to break free from rigid thought patterns associated with depression and trauma.
Ketamine has also been shown to reduce activity in the brain’s default mode network (DMN), which is often overactive in individuals with depression and PTSD. By temporarily disrupting negative thought loops and enhancing synaptic connections, ketamine provides an opportunity for meaningful psychological healing when combined with therapy.
Our Unique Ketamine Therapy Program
At Zephyr, we go beyond just administering ketamine—we provide a structured, holistic healing
process designed for sustainable mental health improvements. Our program includes:
- Initial Evaluation
Each client undergoes a thorough psychiatric and medical evaluation to determine if ketamine-assisted therapy is appropriate. Our team of experienced psychiatric professionals ensures safety and personalization of the treatment plan. - Three Preparation Sessions
Before starting ketamine treatments, clients participate in three preparatory therapy sessions. These sessions help set intentions, establish coping strategies, and create a supportive foundation for the journey ahead. - Six Ketamine Treatment Sessions
Ketamine is administered via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection in a controlled setting under the supervision of our specialized clinical team. During each session, clients experience guided therapy to process emotions, access deeper insights, and facilitate neural healing. - Eight Integration Sessions
Healing doesn’t stop after the last ketamine session. Our integration therapy includes eight
follow-up sessions designed to help clients apply their experiences to everyday life, solidify
breakthroughs, and promote long-term mental wellness.
