Ketamine Therapy in the Hamptons | Rapid Relief for Treatment-Resistant Depression

Back To Home Page

When traditional antidepressants haven’t provided the relief you need, ketamine infusion therapy offers an alternative. At Principium Psychiatry, Dr. Cohen and the team provide expert ketamine therapy in the Hamptons at a private, serene setting designed for healing.

Our skilled psychiatrists specialize in interventional treatments that deliver rapid symptom relief for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD and acute suicidal ideation.

Fast-Acting Relief in a Serene Setting

Ketamine therapy represents a breakthrough treatment for those who haven’t responded to traditional antidepressants. Unlike conventional medications that can take weeks or months to show results, ketamine therapy works differently by targeting the glutamate system in the brain. This unique mechanism promotes neuroplasticity, often providing symptom relief within hours to days rather than weeks.

Our ketamine therapy is ideal for treating:

  • Treatment-resistant depression: When two or more antidepressants haven’t provided adequate relief
  • Acute suicidal ideation: Rapid intervention for individuals experiencing severe suicidal thoughts
  • Anxiety disorders: Including generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): Reducing intrusive thoughts and avoidance behaviors

The tranquil East End setting at our location in Westhampton Beach provides an ideal environment for reflection and healing, allowing you to focus on your mental wellness away from the pressures of daily life.

How Ketamine Infusion Therapy Works

Ketamine works by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, the most abundant neurotransmitter in the nervous system. By blocking NMDA receptors, ketamine triggers a surge of glutamate that promotes the growth and strengthening of neural connections. This process helps reverse the stress-related changes that depression causes in the brain, effectively “resetting” disrupted pathways and restoring healthy brain function.

Our standard ketamine treatment protocol includes:

  • Initial consultation: Schedule a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.
  • Treatment course: Six IV ketamine sessions are administered over two to three weeks, two to three times per week.
  • Session duration: Each infusion takes approximately one hour in a comfortable, private room.
  • Medical supervision: A registered nurse and psychiatrist remain present throughout your entire treatment.
  • Recovery period: There’s a brief observation time after each session before you’re cleared to leave.

For patients who prefer an alternative to IV infusions, we also offer SPRAVATO™ (esketamine) nasal spray treatments. This FDA-approved intranasal option provides the same therapeutic benefits without needles, making it an excellent choice for those uncomfortable with IV administration.

Taking the first step toward relief from treatment-resistant depression requires courage, and we’re here to support you throughout your journey.
