The DISSOCIATIVE State
What it feels like.
The approximately 60-minute window when ketamine exerts its most significant neurological effects. Every patient's experience is their own.
Floating
Surreal
Transcendent
Profound
A floating sensation often emerges during a ketamine infusion, where the body begins to feel very light, almost as if you are drifting in warm water or resting effortlessly on a cloud.
This lightness can create a sense of distance from stress and everyday worries, allowing the mind to relax and explore thoughts from a calmer, more open perspective.
Something shifts in how you see. Patients often describe a sudden ability to hold their own life from a distance, as though stepping outside a room they had always been standing in. Thoughts that once felt heavy become simply... thoughts. Perspectives arrive that were always there, just out of reach.
What once felt like the only way to be begins to soften. Convictions that had quietly run a life for years, shaping every thought and decision, suddenly have room around them. Patients often describe the experience as seeing their own mind from the outside for the first time. Not with judgment, but with a kind of gentle astonishment. Something they had taken as fixed turns out to have always been open.
The difficult parts do not disappear. But something about how they fit together can shift. Patients describe a sense of their own life as a whole, the losses, the struggles, the unexpected turns, arriving as something coherent. Something that makes sense. What had felt like weight begins to feel like formation. Like every piece was quietly building toward the person sitting in that chair, ready to move forward.
The dissociative state is deeply personal and unique to every individual. These descriptions are offered as a gentle frame of reference for what many patients commonly experience. Whatever your experience, your care team will be with you throughout.

Spravato® was made for people where nothing has worked .
Two antidepressants. Maybe five. Years of adjusting doses and waiting six weeks to find out it didn’t work again.
You may be a candidate if:
You’re 18 or older
You’ve tried 2+ antidepressants without relief
You’ve been diagnosed with major depressive disorder
Spravato® isn’t for everyone. Not approved under 18. Not for patients with aneurysmal vascular disease, arteriovenous malformation, or prior brain bleed. Our physician reviews your full history first.
SPRAVATO® OR IV KETAMINE?
We offer both. So we'll give you a straight answer.
Trying something new for depression usually means weighing whether it's worth the money before you know whether it works. Spravato® removes most of that math. It's FDA-approved, we're in-network with major plans, and once your coverage is confirmed you're looking at a copay rather than a decision about savings
