Clarity. Relief. Renewal.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

At Upton Wellness, healing goes beyond symptom relief. It is about restoring stability, clarity, and meaningful forward movement.

Ketamine-assisted therapy offers a clinically guided option for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms, particularly when traditional treatments have not provided sufficient relief. Ketamine works differently than standard antidepressants, helping to interrupt entrenched negative thought patterns and promote new neural pathways associated with improved mood and cognitive flexibility.

Each treatment plan is carefully evaluated and monitored to ensure safety, appropriateness, and therapeutic integration.

Healing here is both clinical and personal — structured, intentional, and grounded in evidence-based care.

  • RESEARCHED

    Ketamine has been used safely for over 50 years as an FDA-approved anesthetic and is recognized globally by the World Health Organization as an essential medication. In recent years, emerging research has demonstrated its effectiveness as a rapid-acting treatment option for certain mental health conditions and chronic pain syndromes.

    Clinical studies support ketamine’s ability to produce rapid improvements in depressive symptoms, anxiety, PTSD-related distress, and treatment-resistant conditions. Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine works through different neurobiological pathways, promoting synaptic plasticity and helping to reset maladaptive neural patterns.

    Ongoing research continues to explore its broader effects on inflammation, pain regulation, and overall brain function. When administered in a medically supervised setting, ketamine therapy can offer meaningful symptom reduction and renewed functional capacity for appropriate candidates.

  • SAFE

    Ketamine therapy is supported by a growing body of research demonstrating its safety and effectiveness when administered in a medically supervised setting. At Upton Wellness, patient safety is our highest priority.

    Every individual undergoes a comprehensive evaluation to determine appropriateness for treatment. Throughout the process, sessions are carefully monitored, and we provide clear guidance before, during, and after treatment to ensure you feel informed and supported.

    While side effects are typically mild and transient when properly administered, we thoroughly review potential risks and expectations so you can make confident, informed decisions about your care.

  • EFFECTIVE

    Ketamine-assisted therapy offers a rapidly acting treatment option for individuals struggling with anxiety and depression — particularly when traditional approaches have not provided sufficient improvement.

    Unlike standard antidepressants, ketamine works through different neurobiological pathways, often producing noticeable shifts in mood and perspective within a shorter time frame for appropriate candidates.

    Many patients report meaningful reductions in symptoms after a structured series of treatments, creating space for renewed clarity, emotional flexibility, and forward movement.

    Every treatment plan is individualized and carefully monitored to ensure safety, effectiveness, and therapeutic integration.

The Science Behind Ketamine Therapy at Upton Wellness

At Upton Wellness, we offer ketamine-assisted therapy as an innovative option for individuals who have not experienced sufficient relief from traditional mental health treatments. What distinguishes ketamine is its unique mechanism of action, targeting the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors within the brain. This interaction initiates a series of neurobiological changes associated with improvements in mood regulation and cognitive flexibility.

When administered in a controlled, medically supervised setting, ketamine influences glutamate signaling and supports pathways involved in synaptic plasticity, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These processes are believed to enhance neural connectivity and help interrupt entrenched patterns of depression, anxiety, and trauma-related distress. Unlike many traditional antidepressants, which may take weeks to demonstrate benefit, ketamine can produce noticeable symptom improvement within a shorter timeframe for appropriate candidates.

Ketamine’s rapid onset has made it an area of growing interest in psychiatry and pain management. Ongoing research continues to explore its broader effects on inflammation, pain modulation, and overall brain function.

At Upton Wellness, ketamine therapy is carefully evaluated, personalized, and integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan. Our focus is safety, clinical precision, and thoughtful care — helping you move toward greater stability, clarity, and meaningful progress.
