Relief for Depression, Anxiety, PTSD & More
If you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or persistent mood instability, ketamine therapy at WellCentric Health may provide rapid, meaningful relief, even when other treatments haven’t worked. As Northern Nevada’s first physician-directed ketamine clinic, we deliver carefully supervised IV ketamine therapy designed for real, lasting results.
What Is IV Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine is an FDA-approved medication that has been used as an anesthetic since the 1970s. At sub-anesthetic doses, it has emerged as one of the most significant breakthroughs in psychiatric medicine in decades, offering rapid relief for conditions including:
Research from Yale University and the National Institutes of Mental Health has shown that even a single low dose of intravenous ketamine can dramatically improve symptoms, sometimes within hours. Improvements in mood, sleep, concentration, and suicidal ideation have all been documented in published studies.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine therapy may be appropriate if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or ongoing mood instability, especially if your symptoms have not improved with standard treatments.
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have not responded adequately to antidepressants or therapy
- Your symptoms feel persistent, severe, or difficult to manage
- You are looking for a more structured, medically guided approach
- You want a treatment option that may work more rapidly than traditional medications
Every patient’s situation is unique. Whether this is your first step or your last resort, we are here to help.

Northern Nevada’s First Physician-Directed Ketamine Clinic
WellCentric Health was the first physician-directed ketamine clinic established in Northern Nevada. Our model has been refined over years of direct clinical experience, careful patient selection, and close follow-up.
The Physician Is Present for Every Session
Every infusion is conducted in person at our Reno office with Dr. Watson present throughout your session. Care is never delegated or rushed, and treatment decisions are made within our practice, not guided by remote corporate protocols.
Intravenous Racemic Ketamine: The Gold Standard
IV ketamine is the most precisely delivered form of ketamine therapy available. Unlike nasal spray options, IV administration allows your physician to calibrate your dose in real time based on how you’re responding, a level of control that other delivery methods simply can’t match.
A Whole-Person Approach
Mood stability is influenced by more than brain chemistry alone. When appropriate, we incorporate guidance on sleep, inflammation, metabolic health, and physiologic resilience to support more durable treatment outcomes.
What to Expect During Ketamine Therapy Treatment
1. Initial Consultation
Care begins with a structured medical evaluation covering your history, current symptoms, prior treatments, medications, and safety considerations. For individuals in acute distress, same-day consultation and treatment may be available.
2. Starting Your Treatment
3. Checking In on Your Progress
4. Maintenance Phase
5. Ongoing Support
How Fast Does Ketamine Therapy Work?
Many patients experience improvement within hours to days, particularly for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. This speed is one of the reasons ketamine has drawn significant attention in the treatment of depression and related conditions.
While many patients experience fast relief, we focus on helping you maintain that progress over time. If needed, we’ll guide you through next steps to support longer-term stability.
IV and IM Ketamine Therapy Options
We offer both IV infusions and intramuscular (IM) ketamine injections. Each route is used deliberately based on your clinical needs, treatment history, and overall goals.
IV ketamine remains our primary approach due to its precision and ability to adjust dosing in real time. In select cases, IM administration may be considered when clinically appropriate.
All treatment decisions are made in collaboration with your physician during your consultation.
