Ketamine therapy is a medically supervised treatment option for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and severe anxiety. Sessions are conducted under medical supervision at our Wesley Chapel clinic and typically last about two hours. Tampa-area patients looking for ketamine therapy in Tampa are treated at this same Wesley Chapel clinic, as are Polk County patients seeking ketamine therapy in Lakeland. Your provider will evaluate whether ketamine therapy is appropriate during an initial psychiatric consultation.

A psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner focuses on diagnosis, medication management, and the biological aspects of mental health. A therapist or counselor provides talk therapy - structured conversations that help you develop coping skills, process emotions, and change thought patterns. At Ascend, we offer both under one roof so your care team can collaborate directly on your treatment plan.
