Q: Can you really treat depression when nothing else has worked?
A: Yes! At StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine, we specialize in treating depression and anxiety at the root. Ketamine Therapy is one of the most powerful tools we use to help people move from surviving to thriving.

Here’s how it works:
✅ Fast-acting relief – Most patients begin feeling better within hours to days, not weeks.
✅ Deep brain healing – Ketamine stimulates areas of the brain linked to mood, memory, and emotion regulation.
✅ Lasting resilience – By rewiring thought patterns, it supports long-term emotional growth.

When you build resilience with us, you're not just getting better, you’re becoming stronger. More grounded. More whole.

For individuals struggling with depression, chronic pain, or related conditions, ketamine infusion therapy may offer a powerful alternative to traditional treatments. Unlike standard medications that can take weeks to work and often come with long-term side effects, ketamine therapy frequently provides faster, longer-lasting relief, safely and effectively.

At StrIVeMD Wellness & Ketamine, we personalize every treatment plan to fit your unique needs. In some cases, monthly maintenance infusions may be recommended to help manage symptoms and support long-term wellness.

If your current treatments for depression aren’t providing the relief you need, we invite you to schedule a consultation online or contact one of our locations to see if ketamine infusion therapy is right for you.

For those living with treatment-resistant depression, Spravato offers a new and promising option. This nasal spray form of esketamine works differently from traditional antidepressants and often provides relief within hours rather than weeks.

Esketamine is closely related to ketamine and is used under direct medical supervision to ensure safety and comfort. Its fast-acting nature makes it especially helpful for individuals facing intense emotional distress or persistent symptoms that have not responded to standard treatments.

At StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine, we offer treatments such as Ketamine IV Infusions in a calm and supportive environment, as part of a comprehensive care plan that includes coordination with your mental health provider.

If you have been searching for a new way forward and feel that conventional medications are not enough, ketamine infusions or stellate ganglion block may be options worth exploring. Contact us to find out if this treatment is right for you.

Here’s how our approach works:
⚖️ SGB calms your overactive stress response easing anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional exhaustion
🧠 Ketamine Therapy promotes neuroplasticity, helping your brain form healthier pathways for mood regulation
🌿 Together, they create space for emotional growth, calm, and clarity

When PTSD symptoms feel overwhelming, it can be hard to find peace. Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is one of the most effective treatments for PTSD, providing relief from intrusive memories, hypervigilance, and emotional distress.

How SGB Works:
🔹Targets the Sympathetic Nervous System: SGB blocks nerve signals from the sympathetic nervous system, calming the body’s stress response.
🔹Restores Calm: SGB helps reduce the heightened stress response that is often a hallmark of PTSD, enabling you to feel more grounded.
🔹Immediate Results: Many patients experience significant relief from anxiety and trauma symptoms after just one SGB session.

Key Benefits of SGB for PTSD:
🔹Effective for Trauma-Related Anxiety: SGB works to immediately reduce the anxiety associated with PTSD, helping patients regain a sense of peace.
🔹Prevents Hyperarousal: SGB can help manage the heightened emotional state often experienced with PTSD, improving your quality of life.
🔹Improves Sleep: By calming the nervous system, SGB can also help reduce insomnia related to trauma and anxiety.

If you're struggling with PTSD, let Stellate Ganglion Block help you find relief and start the healing process. Interested in learning more? Get in touch!
