We specialize in providing a medical framework for ketamine assisted psychotherapy, ensuring that your clients receive the necessary medical support while maintaining their primary therapeutic relationship with you.

Why Partner With Us?

In the realm of mental health care, many patients might find only partial relief even after months of conventional medications or talk therapy. This is where the potential of ketamine therapy shines.

Research shows that ketamine can bolster traditional treatments, leading to enhanced patient well-being.

At Isha Health, we provide secure and user-friendly at-home ketamine treatments, complementing existing medication management or psychotherapy. We primarily focus on conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
