About This Service
What Is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine is a rapid-acting NMDA receptor antagonist that promotes synaptic plasticity, increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor production, and restores neuronal connectivity in brain regions affected by depression, anxiety, and chronic pain — producing measurable antidepressant effects within hours rather than weeks.
Unlike SSRIs and SNRIs that modulate serotonin over weeks of gradual titration, ketamine works through an entirely different pathway. It triggers a cascade of neuroplastic changes that help the brain form new connections. SeeBeyond Medicine administers ketamine intravenously at sub-anesthetic doses under direct physician supervision.
This is not an experimental therapy offered in a vague clinical setting. SeeBeyond Medicine has built a structured ketamine protocol with comprehensive screening, individualized dosing, and integration support designed around whole-person recovery.
Conditions Treated
Treatment-Resistant Depression
When two or more antidepressant medications have failed to provide adequate relief, the clinical term is treatment-resistant depression. SeeBeyond Medicine's ketamine therapy targets NMDA receptors and BDNF pathways that conventional antidepressants do not reach.
Benefits
Rapid Relief When You Need It Most
Rapid Relief When You Need It Most
Years of failed medications erode trust in treatment. Ketamine can restore it. Many SeeBeyond Medicine patients report significant mood improvement within 24 to 72 hours of their first session — a timeline that conventional antidepressants simply cannot match.
A Different Mechanism, Not Just a Different Pill
Ketamine does not tweak serotonin or norepinephrine. It activates NMDA receptor modulation and triggers neuroplasticity through BDNF upregulation. SeeBeyond Medicine chose ketamine therapy specifically because it offers a genuinely novel pathway for patients who have exhausted standard options.
Personalized, Physician-Supervised Protocols
Every ketamine session at SeeBeyond Medicine is individually dosed based on your weight, medical history, and treatment response. Your physician is present throughout every infusion — not down the hall, not on call, but in the room.
What to Expect
Your Journey
1. Comprehensive Medical Screening
Your physician conducts a thorough evaluation including psychiatric history, current medications, cardiovascular status, and substance use screening. SeeBeyond Medicine ensures ketamine therapy is safe and appropriate for your specific situation.
2. Your First Ketamine Session
IV ketamine is administered over 40 to 60 minutes in a private infusion suite. You remain awake at sub-anesthetic doses and may experience deep relaxation or mild dissociative effects. Your physician monitors vital signs throughout.
3. Recovery and Integration
After the infusion, you rest in our office for approximately 30 minutes. SeeBeyond Medicine requires arranged transportation home. Your physician discusses your response and any adjustments for your next session.
4. Structured Treatment Course
Most SeeBeyond Medicine ketamine protocols involve six initial sessions over two to three weeks. Maintenance sessions are then scheduled based on your symptom duration and individual response pattern.

"I had been on antidepressants for over a decade. Nothing worked for more than a few months. After my second ketamine session at SeeBeyond, I woke up without the weight on my chest for the first time in years. My therapist noticed the difference before I even told her."
