A New Path Toward Mental Wellness in Santa Monica
In recent years, ketamine therapy has emerged as one of the most effective, fast-acting treatments for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At PointHealth ketamine clinic in Santa Monica, we offer a safe, relaxing environment that is calming and medically supervised, where patients can find relief and transformation through ketamine infusion therapy.
If you’ve tried traditional antidepressants, talk therapy, or other medications and still struggle, you’re not alone—and there is hope. Each person who comes to us receives individualized attention and care tailored to their unique needs.
What Is Ketamine Therapy?
Originally used for anesthesia, ketamine is a substance with both medical and therapeutic uses that has shown groundbreaking results in mental health care when administered in low, controlled doses. It works by affecting various brain functions and health outcomes, specifically influencing glutamate receptors in the brain, promoting neuroplasticity and forming new pathways that can restore emotional balance and relieve chronic symptoms.
Ketamine is used to treat depression, often more rapidly than traditional medications. Many patients report relief within hours or days, compared to weeks or months with typical antidepressants. In addition to mental health benefits, ketamine can also alleviate physical symptoms.
What is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy?
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative form of psychedelic assisted therapy that combines the powerful effects of ketamine with the guidance of a trained therapist. Using ketamine—a medication that is FDA-approved and has demonstrated efficacy in mental health treatment—KAP creates a unique opportunity for deep emotional healing and personal growth. During ketamine infusion therapy, patients are able to access and process challenging emotions, traumatic memories, and long-standing patterns in a safe, supportive environment.
KAP is especially beneficial for those struggling with treatment resistant depression, anxiety disorders, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and chronic pain. By working with both the mind and body, this approach helps patients break through barriers that traditional treatments may not address. Many patients find that KAP accelerates the healing process, allowing them to experience relief from symptoms and make meaningful progress in their mental health journey. Whether you are seeking to address depression, anxiety, PTSD, or chronic pain, ketamine assisted psychotherapy offers a promising path toward improved health and well-being.
Who Can Benefit from Ketamine Treatment?
Ketamine therapy may be beneficial for individuals experiencing:
- Treatment-resistant depression
- PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- Anxiety disorders
- ADHD-related mood instability
- Chronic pain and fibromyalgia
- Suicidal ideation
- Emotional numbness or disconnection
At PointHealth Clinic, we also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for those seeking deeper integration and emotional processing alongside the infusions.
