Depression isn’t always obvious - it can quietly affect your thoughts, energy, and connection to daily life. And for some, traditional treatments don’t bring the relief they’re hoping for.

That’s where Spravato® (esketamine) may help.

Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. It’s administered in a medically monitored setting and works differently than traditional antidepressants - targeting alternative neural pathways that may support relief when other treatments haven’t been enough.

If you haven’t found the relief you deserve, know that other pathways forward exist. Curious whether Spravato might be right for you? We’re here to talk through it. 💚

Ketamine treatment can take many forms, each offering a different balance of structure, onset, and clinical support.

At Center for New Growth, delivery method is never chosen in isolation. It’s determined through comprehensive evaluation and shared decision-making, ensuring the level of monitoring and care matches the individual.

If you’re curious about whether ketamine therapy may be right for you, we’re here to help you explore your options.

We’re so grateful to see this work reflected in the broader conversation. Our sister nonprofit, the Institute for Rural Psychedelic Care, was named as one of seven grantees supported through the Healing Hearts, Changing Minds initiative, advancing research in psychedelic-assisted end-of-life care. 💛

Through this grant, IRPC will offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) alongside narrative medicine for terminally ill patients in rural communities. The focus is on supporting reflection, meaning-making, and presence; for patients and their families, during life’s final chapters.

This work is grounded in the belief that care at the end of life isn’t only about managing symptoms, but about honoring the human experience, the relationships that matter, and the stories people carry with them. We’re deeply thankful to for supporting this work with care and intention.

We’re grateful to share this moment of support for our sister nonprofit, the Institute for Rural Psychedelic Care (IRPC). Being part of the Walking Each Other Home initiative reflects a shared commitment to care that honors dignity, meaning, and presence at the end of life.

This work is guided by the belief that end-of-life care isn’t only about managing symptoms - it’s about supporting reflection, connection, and the stories that shape a life. We’re deeply appreciative of for helping make this kind of care possible in rural communities, and for standing alongside this vision with such intention.

Periods of growth often come with uncertainty. Even positive change can feel disorienting - asking us to stretch, adapt, and let go of what once felt familiar.

Staying grounded during these times isn’t about forcing clarity or moving faster. It’s about noticing what supports steadiness: familiar routines, meaningful connection, and space to reflect as things unfold.

For some, that grounding might look like returning to simple rituals, slowing the pace of decision-making, or spending time in places that feel regulating and familiar. For others, it may mean naming what’s changing out loud, seeking support, or allowing rest to be part of the process.

Growth doesn’t have to feel rushed to be real. Support can help us move through change with more care, compassion, and presence.

Thoughtful conversations around psychedelic care at the end of life are essential as this work continues to evolve.

Our very own Dr. Michael Fratkin shares insights on hospice care, ethics, and medical responsibility in a recent podcast conversation exploring psychedelics in palliative settings.

Healing doesn’t begin with effort or insight, it begins when the body feels safe. Somatic work helps us listen to the nervous system and gently support it in returning to states of connection and regulation.

At Center for New Growth, safety is foundational to the care we offer; across therapy, integrative medicine, and somatic approaches. If this resonates, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to do this work by yourself. We are here to support you whatever way seems best fit! 💛

A new year can be a moment to pause, and gently anchor into change.

For many, this season brings reflection, uncertainty, and hope for something to feel different. Change doesn’t need to be rushed or navigated alone. It’s often supported best through community, guidance, and care that meets you where you are.

At Center for New Growth, we offer therapeutic support for individuals navigating depression, PTSD, and anxiety - including Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Spravato - as part of a thoughtful, collaborative healing process. 🌀

If this year feels like an opening to explore support, we’re here to walk alongside you. Reach out to us today, or visit our website for more info. 💛
