At KetaMed, we know firsthand what it means to fight for stability—because our team includes both experienced clinicians and military veterans. We’re a physician-led, veteran-owned clinic offering clinical precision with personal compassion. Whether you’re navigating PTSD as a result of military service, trauma, abuse, or other life-altering experiences, you’ll be met with understanding and medically grounded care.
All of our ketamine treatments—IV ketamine, IM ketamine, and oral ketamine troches—are administered or supervised by licensed providers who prioritize safety, comfort, and results. We treat every patient as an individual, not a diagnosis.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. While it’s commonly associated with combat veterans, PTSD can affect anyone—including survivors of accidents, assault, natural disasters, or long-term emotional trauma.
Symptoms often include:
Left untreated, PTSD can make daily life feel exhausting and unpredictable. Traditional treatments like SSRIs and therapy can help, but many people find them slow-acting or insufficient—especially in chronic cases.
Originally approved as an anesthetic, ketamine has since been widely studied for its off-label use in mental health—particularly treatment-resistant depression and PTSD. It’s classified as a rapid-acting NMDA receptor antagonist, which means it works differently than conventional antidepressants.
At KetaMed, we offer three types of ketamine therapy:
All options are prescribed and managed under close medical supervision.
Ketamine targets NMDA receptors and increases glutamate levels in the brain—jumpstarting synaptic activity and promoting neuroplasticity. In simpler terms, it helps the brain “unlearn” the stuck patterns caused by trauma and create new, healthier ones.
Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks or months to work, ketamine often delivers relief within hours or days. It doesn’t require daily use and isn’t about numbing symptoms—it’s about creating space for healing to begin.
One study conducted at Mount Sinai showed that six IV ketamine infusions over two weeks significantly reduced PTSD symptoms—with effects lasting nearly a month post-treatment.
Treatment begins with a consultation to assess your medical and psychiatric history. This helps us determine which form of ketamine—IV, IM, or troches—is best suited for your condition, comfort level, and goals.
Here’s what the process looks like:
Our providers remain in close contact throughout your treatment, adjusting your plan based on progress and response.
Ketamine therapy is ideal for individuals with chronic or treatment-resistant PTSD—especially those who haven’t responded to talk therapy or antidepressants. It may also be appropriate for veterans, first responders, trauma survivors, and others experiencing persistent symptoms.
It may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled hypertension or active psychosis. That’s why a thorough medical and psychiatric evaluation is essential before starting.
If IV treatment feels too intensive, you may qualify for IM or troche-based care instead.
We know PTSD makes vulnerability difficult. That’s why we’ve built KetaMed to be a space where clinical safety meets emotional understanding.
We never rush. We never generalize. Your care is your own.
Ketamine therapy is not currently covered by insurance, but we believe in transparency and accessibility.
You don’t have to live in survival mode. Book a consultation today to learn how ketamine therapy can help you reclaim clarity, stability, and connection.
A typical protocol includes six infusions (IV), four injections (IM), or regular troche dosing. We personalize based on your response and goals.
