Treatments
Ketamine
In close to 75% of cases, ketamine can dramatically relieve depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, sometimes following a single infusion. In addition to its fast-acting effect on depression, ketamine has been proven to significantly reduce suicidal ideation and self-harm behaviors.
Spravato
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) nasal spray is the first and only FDA-approved monotherapy for adults with treatment-resistant depression, and is also approved for depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior. Administered under medical supervision in our REMS-certified clinic, SPRAVATO® can provide rapid relief from depressive symptoms by targeting NMDA receptors in the brain. Most major Boston-area insurance plans cover SPRAVATO®, and our team manages prior authorization on your behalf.
TMS
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a highly effective treatment for depression and anxiety. We can also use TMS to treat bipolar depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and as an adjunct in the treatment of PTSD and eating disorders. TMS offers an FDA-cleared approach that is not only safe and largely free of side effects but also twice as effective as traditional antidepressants for symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Accelerated TMS
Published clinical research has shown that accelerated theta-burst stimulation protocols can produce remission in a meaningful percentage of patients with treatment-resistant depression. Individual results vary. Cambridge Biotherapies offers Accelerated TMS, an intensive theta-burst stimulation protocol for treatment-resistant depression.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine offers near-term relief from many mental health issues. One of the most significant benefits of ketamine is the induction of neuroplasticity, which is the ability of the nervous system to change its activity and reorganize its structure in a more healthy way. We take advantage of this neuroplastic state with psychotherapy, using additional cognitive and behavioral tools to lock in new habits and perspectives for long-term well-being.
