Ketamine Therapy in Houston

At Your Family Psychiatrist, we offer intramuscular ketamine therapy in Houston for individuals with treatment-resistant mental health conditions. Research over the past decade continues to highlight the powerful impact of ketamine, especially when combined with psychotherapy, on improving symptoms of depression, PTSD, anxiety, and more.

Many patients do not achieve full relief from traditional options alone. That’s why our Houston ketamine clinic is among the few in Texas that provides ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) which is a treatment that blends the biological effects of ketamine with the healing relationship of talk therapy. This dual approach is designed to support deeper emotional insight, trauma processing, and sustained symptom relief.

Why Combine Ketamine with Psychotherapy?

Clinical studies and our own experience show that therapy is often more effective when paired with biological treatment. With ketamine-assisted therapy, patients often feel more emotionally open, more connected, and better able to process unresolved trauma. Ketamine has also been shown to help access subconscious memories and reduce emotional defenses that often block progress in traditional therapy.

Our psychiatrists in Houston take time to carefully tailor this treatment while considering the full biological, psychological, and emotional needs of each patient.
​

What Conditions Does Ketamine Treat

• Major depressive disorder (MDD)
• Treatment-resistant depression
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Substance use disorders and alcohol addiction
• Suicidal thoughts or ideation

In fact, new research recently highlighted ketamine’s role in helping individuals maintain sobriety from alcohol dependence. This is a breakthrough in addiction treatment that is gaining national attention.
​

How Does Ketamine Work

Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine works on NMDA receptors modulating glutamate and promoting neuroplasticity in the brain. This can result in fast-acting relief from symptoms, sometimes within hours.  Some studies report an 85+% success rate for individuals with treatment-resistant depression when ketamine is combined with therapy.

This rapid effect makes ketamine particularly valuable for patients experiencing suicidal thoughts or deep emotional stagnation.

What to Expect?

At Your Family Psychiatrist in Houston, we provide intramuscular ketamine conducted in-office under medical supervision and include psychotherapy integration to maximize effectiveness.

Our approach emphasizes:

• Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation before treatment
• Close medical monitoring during ketamine sessions
• Therapeutic support during and after administration
• Personalized treatment planning based on diagnosis and goals

Patients with certain medical conditions such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, advanced heart disease, or unmanaged thyroid conditions may be referred to specialty Houston ketamine centers that are equipped to manage complex medical cases. Patient safety and long-term success remain our top priorities.
