What Is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine therapy is a well-established treatment showing significant efficiency in addressing a range of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and self-harm tendencies. While it was originally used as an anesthetic, extensive research has highlighted its benefits in mental health treatment. For individuals looking for quick alleviation of intense thoughts and stress, ketamine presents a distinguished choice. At Serenity Mental Health Centers, our healthcare professionals might suggest ketamine infusion therapy as a solution for symptoms associated with PTSD, OCD, anxiety, or depression. For more information, contact our Southlake, TX office.
How Is Ketamine Therapy Administered?
Ketamine infusions are delivered through IV, allowing for accurate dosage control and minimized risks of side effects. Treatment occurs in a regulated, comfortable setting under the care of skilled registered nurses. Patients are welcome to bring books, headphones, or any other quiet activity for a pleasant experience. True to our patient-centric approach, we customize each session to meet the specific requirements of every patient, with most treatments concluding in under two hours. For optimal results, a series of approximately six sessions is advised.
What Can I Expect After Ketamine Therapy?
After ketamine therapy, you can expect various experiences as your body and mind adjust to the treatment. Immediately following the session, you may feel groggy or disoriented, so it's crucial to have someone drive you home. Over the next few hours, these sensations should subside, giving way to a sense of clarity and calm. In the days that follow, many patients report significant reductions in depressive symptoms and anxiety, along with improved mood and mental clarity. Follow-up appointments are common to monitor your progress and discuss any side effects, which are generally mild and temporary. Overall, ketamine therapy can be a life-changing experience, providing relief when other treatments have not been effective.
What Are the Benefits of Professional Ketamine Therapy?
- Quick Relief from Symptoms: Patients often experience a rapid improvement in symptoms, with some noticing changes in just a few hours or days.
- Lasting Impact: With repeated sessions, some individuals achieve long-lasting relief from their symptoms, highlighting the potential for long-term benefits.
- A New Hope for Treatment-Resistant Conditions: Ketamine represents a promising alternative for those who have not found relief through traditional therapies. It's recognized for its effectiveness, especially in cases where other treatments have not succeeded.
- Professionally Supervised for Safety: We prioritize your safety above all. Our treatments, including ketamine therapy, are administered with precise dosing and vigilant monitoring, ensuring a safe and beneficial experience.
Ketamine Therapy Reviews
Dr. Cragg is phenomenal! He actually listens to me, I've never had a Dr (especially not a psychiatrist) do that before. The TMS techs Chloe and Lani are amazing! I'm blown away by the amazing care and staff and Serenity. I feel so lucky I just happened to find this office while looking on Google. Highly recommend.
Serenity Mental Health Centers in Southlake has a very kind and responsive staff! A breathe of fresh air when a lot of psychiatrist offices send you straight to a robot or voicemail!
Im writing this review mostly in regards to TMS tech, Chloe. She is a superstar. I did 36 TMS sessions and seeing her was my absolute favorite part of the entire experience. She is so kind and warm and I’ve never felt more comfortable expressing my feelings to anyone else outside of my husband. Seeing her on a daily basis helped me build my confidence as a patient and as a person. She encouraged me in my goals, validated my concerns and feelings, and just offered an understanding ear when I needed it. I truly believe that Chloe is 90% of my mental health recovery and the rest may be due to the tms and medication. A true angel on earth. If you are considering doing TMS here, I would highly suggest requesting her personally. The serenity office itself is not amazing. It’s hard to get a hold of anyone on the phone, sometimes I’m on hold for over 45 minutes to get to a representative and they’re only that, a representative. There’s no direct phone line for your specific office. There was also a change in many personnel during my time here, which isn’t great for mentally unstable folks. I did like dr. Andrew, but she left. Dr. Cragg has been able to help me with my current situation and I am forever thankful. But truly, Chloe single-handedly makes Serenity a 5 star establishment. The world is a much better place because Chloe exists and cares about what she does. There are not enough words to truly express the depth of my gratitude.
It is the idealistic thing not to come to doctor’s office often but if this place was a restaurant I would come here every single day!!!! ❤️❤️ Everyone here is amazing. Every. Single. One of them. I’ve had depression for so decades and been to so many treatment but serenity is the bestest of the bestest. I’m almost done with TMS treatment and I had a huge improvement but I honestly don’t think I would’ve made the same improvement if I were at different clinics. Unless I had to change my clinic due to insurance change, I will keep coming back to here whenever I feel down!

Who Is A Candidate for Ketamine Therapy?
A candidate for ketamine therapy is usually someone struggling with forms of depression or who has not responded to traditional treatments. This includes individuals with treatment-resistant depression, bipolar depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), thoughts of self-harm, and more. Before beginning ketamine therapy, an evaluation is crucial to ensure there are no health conditions that could contraindicate its use. Ideal candidates are those who have found limited success with other medications and therapies and are seeking an alternative approach to managing their mental health or pain.
