Ketamine Therapy in Charlotte is a physician led clinic in Charlotte, NC. We offer evidence based ketamine treatment for treatment resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. Every patient starts with a consultation, not a sales pitch.
What We Treat
Ketamine therapy is used for several conditions when standard treatments have not brought enough relief. Explore the ones most relevant to you.
Depression
For depression that has not responded to standard antidepressants, ketamine works through a different mechanism and may bring relief on a faster timeline.
Learn moreTreatment Resistant Depression
When two or more antidepressants have not brought relief, ketamine offers a different approach with a faster potential timeline.
Learn morePTSD
For post-traumatic stress that has not eased with standard care, research suggests ketamine may reduce symptom severity for some people.
Learn moreAnxiety
For persistent anxiety, often alongside depression, ketamine may ease symptoms for some people when standard treatments have not.
Learn moreChronic Pain
For neuropathic and complex pain such as CRPS and fibromyalgia, ketamine infusions may reduce pain for some people through a non-opioid pathway.
Learn moreHow Ketamine Therapy Works
Ketamine works through a different mechanism than traditional antidepressants. Rather than acting mainly on serotonin, it modulates the glutamate system and is thought to support the brain's ability to form new connections.

Common Questions
Is ketamine therapy safe?
When delivered in a clinical setting with proper screening and monitoring, ketamine has a well established safety profile. Our physician reviews your history before treatment, and a clinician monitors your vital signs during every infusion. Ketamine is not appropriate for everyone, which is why each patient starts with a medical evaluation.
How well does ketamine therapy work?
In published studies, many participants with hard to treat depression experienced a clinically significant reduction in symptoms, often faster than with oral antidepressants. Results vary, some people respond partially, and some do not respond. We never promise an outcome and review the evidence with you during your consultation.
How quickly might I feel a difference?
Some patients notice changes within hours to a few days of an infusion, which is faster than the weeks typical of standard antidepressants. A series of sessions is usually needed for more durable benefit. Timelines vary from person to person.
Is ketamine therapy covered by insurance?
Most ketamine therapy is out of network. We can provide a superbill you may submit to your insurer for possible partial reimbursement, though coverage is not assured. Esketamine (Spravato) may have different coverage. Our Pricing page explains the details.
What are the common side effects?
During and shortly after an infusion, some patients experience temporary dissociation, mild nausea, dizziness, or a brief rise in blood pressure. These effects are monitored and typically resolve within the recovery period. Our clinical team watches your vital signs throughout the session.
Do you offer FaceTime consultations?
Yes. If you live outside Charlotte or cannot come in for a first visit, we offer initial consultations by FaceTime. Treatment itself requires an in person visit, but the first conversation does not. You can request this on our Book page.
