Over a third of people with depression don't respond to standard antidepressants

That isn't a failure of you — it can be a sign that your brain is stuck rather than broken. The medications you've tried may not have reached the part of the brain that needs to change.       

Spravato (esketamine) is FDA-approved specifically for treatment-resistant depression. It works through a different mechanism than SSRIs and SNRIs — opening what researchers call a neuroplasticity "window" during which new patterns of thought and feeling becomepossible.

Many patients describe relief from depression within days to weeks of starting treatment, after years of trying interventions that didn't help. We would love to help explore if this is right for you – simply book a free, no-commitment consultation. You can also start by verifying your insurance online below.

What is Ketamine Therapy?

SAFE
EFFECTIVE
RAPID-ACTING
Ketamine Therapy Explained
An evidence-based treatment for depression and other mental health conditions like anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and suicidal thoughts. By targeting neurotransmitters in the brain through a separate mechanism than traditional SSRIs, ketamine treatment can offer rapid and meaningful relief when traditional treatments haven't helped.

With careful psychiatric protocols and comfortable, on-site monitoring, ketamine therapy has shown to improve symptoms in 70% or more of patients at Lumin Health.

Many of our patients came to Lumin Health after years of antidepressants, therapy, and  other treatments that didn't fully work. We're honored by their reviews — and by the trust it took to try ketamine treatment.
My treatment at Lumin Health has profoundly transformed my healing journey over the past year. The staff is exceptional and ensures I feel comfortable during this vulnerable experience.
This is one special place. I haven’t experienced this level of true compassion and empathy in a very long time. Their commitment to getting my USMC disabled son the treatment he desperately needed was above & beyond. I will be eternally grateful!
Wow - amazing clinic! They created a comfortable and safe space for treatments and I felt very cared-for. It is an ideal setup for people that are interested in this novel approach to depression treatment. Highly recommend this place.
