“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.”
“A professional environment filled with caring intelligent people who deeply believe in what they do. This is truly a place of healing, bereft of the usual assembly line psychology you see in most other facilities. Would strongly recommend anyone suffering from depression or anxiety to give these people a shot. You will not regret it.”

Insurance and intake

Your first session

Most people start with 6–10 sessions over the first few weeks. Plan a ride home each time, because driving waits until the next day.

What a ketamine therapy session is like

You stay awake throughout, in a private room, and you're monitored the whole time. Effects usually fade within a couple of hours, and most people feel like themselves later that day. Treatment doesn't work for everyone. If it isn't helping, your clinician will talk through what's next.

Does insurance cover ketamine or Spravato treatment near Boston?

Where are Lumin Health's Massachusetts locations?

What is the difference between ketamine and esketamine (Spravato)?

Esketamine (Spravato) is one of the two mirror-image molecules in ketamine, made as a nasal spray. It is FDA-approved for adults with treatment-resistant depression and for major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation, so most insurance plans cover it for people who meet their criteria. You take the spray yourself at our office, and our clinical team monitors you for two hours or more afterward, as the FDA requires. Ketamine contains both molecules. It is not FDA-approved for depression, so its use is off-label and usually self-pay – but is still safe, effective, and is used as “standard of care” for treatment despite being off-label. At Lumin Health, ketamine is given as an intramuscular (IM) injection; we do not offer IV ketamine. Both work on the brain’s glutamate system, and our team will help you decide which fits your condition, history and insurance.
