esketamine therapy. Our staff includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners,
physician assistants, licensed clinical social workers, and registered nurses
— all dedicated to evidence-based, compassionate care.
FDA-approved Spravato — not off-label treatment
Lumin Health specializes in Spravato (esketamine) — the first and
only FDA-approved nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression. FDA approval
means rigorous clinical trials, a certified REMS safety protocol, and
coverage by most major insurance plans. We also offer intramuscular (IM) ketamine therapy and a limited
integration psychotherapy program for a comprehensive treatment approach.
95% of patients covered by insurance
Transformative care that is accessible and affordable. We accept
Medicare and most major private insurance plans in Massachusetts including
Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, Optum,
Point32Health, Tufts, and United Healthcare. Treatment costs are typically
similar to a specialist office visit.
The experience catered to you — private suites, concierge care
Every session takes place in a private, comfortable suite with
thoughtful amenities — not a shared infusion room. Our concierge team handles
everything from insurance verification and prior authorization to scheduling
and post-treatment transportation, so you can focus entirely on your healing.
Rapid relief — begin treatment in weeks, not months
When you are struggling, waiting months for an appointment is not
acceptable. Most patients begin treatment within weeks of their initial
consultation, and many experience meaningful improvement after just a few
sessions — days rather than the weeks or months often required by traditional
antidepressants.

Great establishment that makes you feel welcomed and gives you the time and space you need for your journey. Everyone from the doctors to the nursing staff to the front desk make you feel safe and secure, which really helps if it’s your first treatment. I highly recommend Lumin and promote the good work they have been doing!
The staff at Lumin take the time to explain every step of the process and never leave a question unanswered! The environment is relaxed and calming. I would definitely recommend Lumin!
My Lumin Health experience was nothing short of transformative. To start, Gene was extremely responsive with everything from the business side, ensuring that insurance covered my treatment and that I had appointments which were convenient for my schedule. As for treatment, the staff's kindness and compassion created a welcoming atmosphere that instantly put me at ease.
One of the serious gems of the place is the nurse practitioner Kerry. Her profound knowledge and expertise in explaining the intricacies of ketamine therapy instilled confidence and trust in the process. She also gave amazing advice outside of the ketamine. She wanted to ensure that I was doing whatever I possibly could holistically (eating well, exercising regularly, and prioritizing sleep) to better myself so that my overall mental and emotional well-being could synergize with the benefits of ketamine therapy, creating a comprehensive approach to personal growth and healing. Throughout the sessions, Kerry and the rest of the staff's guidance was invaluable, providing a supportive space for introspection and emotional exploration. What truly set them apart was their genuine care and empathy, forming a therapeutic alliance that made the journey not only effective but also deeply personal.
Lastly, the new office space is nothing short of amazing. It is extremely comfortable, relaxing, and thoughtfully designed, providing an ideal environment for ketamine therapy. As a patient, you are now provided with a button so that if you need anything during your ketamine therapy session, whether it's an adjustment in the environment, additional support, or simply to express your needs, the staff is readily available and responsive.
If you couldn't have guessed by now, I rate Lumin Health a complete 5/5 stars. Ketamine Therapy, in general, has made me feel a profound sense of liberation and renewal.Lumin Health has made that transformative journey even more exceptional with their compassionate staff, state-of-the-art facilities, and personalized care, leaving me not only impressed but genuinely grateful for the positive impact they've had on my mental and emotional well-being.
Lumin is about healing! When standard mental health care numbs us- ketamine regrows synapses in the brain. I’ve never felt more supported by a provider before. Diane, Jonah & Kerry really care about their patients. This is a top notch place. One million stars!
I was a bit anxious on my way into Lumin Health before my first session. Once I arrived the anxiety quickly subsided when I met Kerry "Nurse Happiness" Parsons. I couldn't of been more comforted and put at ease. She is lovely and someone that TRULY cares about what she does and exudes a very holistic approach to wellness . She was integral in shifting my whole experience from any of the initial anxiety to me being absolutely calm, open and ready to allow the healing that this experience has done to happen.
Highly recommended if you’ve struggled with depression and nothing seems to help. The staff are dedicated to your care and want to support you. They have a nice office in Newton Centre that’s very comfortable. Spravato, the nasal spray form of ketamine, can now be covered by insurance. There’s no reason not to call and see if it might be helpful for you.
