What to Expect with Ketamine Treatment
At One Mind, we provide IV ketamine therapy to help people with depression, PTSD, and anxiety disorders who haven’t found relief with traditional approaches like antidepressants or counseling. Our care is physician-led, evidence-based, and designed to be simple, safe, effective, and accessible.
What to Expect
Simple. Clear. Supportive.
Start With a Free
Consultation
We begin with a free consultation to learn about your mental health or chronic pain history, answer your questions, and see if IV ketamine is an appropriate option for you.
Get a Personalized
Treatment Plan
If you're a fit, our medical director will design a plan tailored to your needs — typically six IV infusions spaced over two to three weeks.
Begin Treatment in a
Calm, Private Setting
You'll receive your infusions in a peaceful, fully monitored room. Most patients wear an eye mask and listen to calming music while we ensure comfort and safety every step of the way.
What Happens During a Session
• Mental health infusions last around 40 minutes, followed by a short recovery period
• Chronic pain infusions are longer — typically up to 2 hours
• Most patients describe the experience as deeply calming or introspective
• You will not be fully asleep, but you may feel dreamlike or dissociated
• A trained medical professional monitors you the entire time
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients begin with a series of 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks, which research shows is the most effective approach for long-term relief. You may also be eligible for booster sessions based on your progress and needs.
Why We Use IV Ketamine — and Only IV Formulation / Administration
IV ketamine is the most studied, precise, and controllable method to administer ketamine with best results.
We do not offer lozenges, nasal sprays, or IM injections
Our treatments are administered and overseen by a board-certified anesthesiologist
This method allows for precise, real-time adjustments — so your experience stays safe, comfortable, and tailored to your needs.
Ongoing Support & Collaboration
We believe ketamine therapy works best when it’s part of a broader mental health plan. If you’re working with a therapist or psychiatrist, we’re happy to coordinate care — with your permission — to ensure your treatment is aligned, collaborative, and supported.

Questions? We’re Here to Answer Them
What is ketamine therapy used for?
Ketamine therapy is used to treat a range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD,
and other mood or trauma-related diagnoses—especially when traditional treatments
haven’t entirely worked. It can also be used in the management of chronic pain conditions
such as CRPS or other neuropathic pain conditions.
At therapeutic doses, ketamine can help disrupt unproductive thought patterns, ease
emotional and physical distress, and create a sense of clarity, calm, and renewed openness
to healing.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients start with a 6-session protocol over 2–3 weeks, a structure that is supported
by many clinical research trials. This series helps build momentum and unlock deeper, more
lasting results. While many find that the initial protocol creates a lasting shift, some patients
choose to return for occasional booster sessions as needed.
Is ketamine therapy safe?
Yes. Ketamine therapy is very safe when used by experienced providers in a clinical setting,
and we take extra precautions to ensure your comfort and safety. One Mind adheres to the
most rigorous standards in safety protocols, staff training, emergency medical supplies and
equipment. Unlike many clinics, One Mind is directed by a board-certified anesthesiologist
— the most qualified medical doctor for the safe administration of sedating IV medications.
What does a ketamine session feel like?
Every experience is unique. Most patients describe a sense of calm, emotional openness, or
deep introspection. Some have dreamlike visuals or out-of-body sensations. You’ll be in a
private, quiet treatment room, and most patients choose to wear an eye mask and listen to
music to support a focused, inward experience.
What if I’m already seeing a therapist or psychiatrist?
Ketamine works best when integrated into a comprehensive mental health plan. With your permission, we’ll coordinate with your existing provider to keep your care aligned, supported, and collaborative.
Do you take insurance?
Unfortunately, ketamine therapy is largely not covered by most insurers, so we are currently a self-pay clinic. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds, and we’re happy to provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
When will I start to feel better?
Everyone responds a little differently, but many patients begin to notice real changes in
their mood by the third infusion — sometimes even sooner. For others, it may take the full
6-session protocol to experience meaningful relief. Either way, we’ll monitor your progress
closely and adjust the plan together to make sure you’re on the right path.
Can I drive after treatment?
No. You cannot drive yourself home after your session. All patients must arrange transportation with a friend, family member, or a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft. Ketamine can temporarily impair coordination and awareness, so this policy is in place to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
