Ketamine Therapy

Revolutionary Emotional Care & Support When You Need It Most

A New Path to Healing

When traditional care doesn’t touch the deeper layers of suffering, it’s easy to feel like real healing is out of reach. Ketamine-Assisted Therapy offers something different: a structured, medically guided experience that allows you to step outside your usual mental patterns and see with fresh eyes. It’s not about escape, it’s about access. Access to insight, to emotion, to parts of yourself that have been buried under survival. At Blum Center for Health, we provide the clinical support and emotional safety needed to make that experience meaningful, personal, and transformative.

What is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine is used to treat depression, anxiety and trauma-related responses also called PTSD. In the 1970s, it was discovered that Patients who were administered ketamine as an anesthetic reported psychedelic “tripping experiences” as they came back from anesthesia. It was soon noted that these patients also reported improvement in anxiety and depression*. Thus began the interest and research into ketamine as a treatment for mental health.

At that time it was found that the greater the dissociation the patient reported, the greater the improvement in depression. Ketamine has since been found to be an effective treatment for depression and other mental health issues, with a rapid- onset of improvement from start of treatment and an excellent safety profile. We are thrilled to offer Ketamine in Westchester county and bring this transformative therapy to our patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone who carries emotional weight. At Blum Center, we believe that when the emotional body and the physical body are not in alignment, dis-ease develops: autoimmunity, gut issues, chronic pain, headaches, tension, etc This does not mean at all that symptoms are in your head, but that an overactive sympathetic nervous system and being stuck in a constant fight or flight or freeze response can literally change your physiology.

Ketamine can help strengthen your vagus nerve, the parasympathetic, rest and digest, part of your nervous system. As you emerge from the fight, flight, and freeze, we expect to see your digestion improve, your immune function improve, pain levels decrease. What the literature shows is an improvement in anxiety and depression and pain.
