New Pathways Opens East Cleveland Clinic to Expand Access to Ketamine Therapy for Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and More

We’re excited to share that New Pathways Clinic has opened a new location in Willoughby, Ohio, bringing our full suite of services to patients across Lake County, eastern Ohio, and even parts of western Pennsylvania.

If you’ve been living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mood disorders—and feeling like traditional treatments aren’t helping—our new East Cleveland clinic might offer the breakthrough you’ve been searching for.

This is our fourth location in Ohio, and like all our clinics, it was created to offer evidence-based, personalized care in a space that feels calming, respectful, and focused on your long-term well-being.

What We Offer: Ketamine Therapy to Find New Pathways in Life

There’s no shortage of talk about mental health these days. But finding a treatment that actually works still feels difficult for too many people.

Ketamine therapy treatments offer a compelling alternative with documented and research-driven results.

Ketamine is a fast-acting medication that promotes neuroplasticity—your brain’s ability to form new pathways and heal itself. It’s been shown to reduce symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). 

In many cases, patients report feeling better within days, not weeks or months.

But at New Pathways, the medication alone is not the story; it’s about how we deliver care.

Our Approach

We combine the biological power of ketamine with the emotional support of therapy, helping you make sense of your experiences, gain insight, and build practical strategies for ongoing mental wellness.

Here’s what sets us apart:

• Personalized treatment plans tailored to your goals, history, and medical profile
• Multiple treatment formats, including IV infusions and the FDA-approved Spravato nasal spray
• Licensed psychiatric care at every step of your journey
• Integration support to help you process and apply what you’re feeling
• Coordination with your existing care team, if desired

Conditions We Treat

Our ketamine therapy programs can support a wide range of mental health concerns, especially in cases where standard medications or talk therapy haven’t provided lasting relief. Common conditions we treat include:

• Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD): When antidepressants haven’t helped, ketamine may offer a new path forward. It often works in cases where other medications have failed.
• Anxiety Disorders: Generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and social anxiety can all respond well to ketamine’s calming and perspective-shifting effects.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Ketamine therapy can help “unstick” trauma and give patients space to process difficult memories in a safer mental state.
• Bipolar Depression: In combination with mood stabilizers and with careful supervision, ketamine has shown promising results for the depressive symptoms of bipolar disorder.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): While more research is ongoing, ketamine’s impact on rigid thought patterns may benefit those living with OCD.

Why East Cleveland, Why Now?

Mental health care shouldn’t require a long drive or months of waiting for an appointment. By opening in Willoughby, we’re helping people across Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula counties access timely, high-quality treatment closer to home.

We’re also serving a broader regional need. Patients from eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania can now access a trusted ketamine clinic without another 30 minutes to our flagship West Cleveland location in Middleburg Heights.

This expansion is part of our mission: to make cutting-edge mental health care more accessible, compassionate, and effective.

What to Expect at New Pathways East Cleveland

We’ve designed every aspect of our Willoughby clinic with your comfort and clarity in mind. Here’s how the process works:

1. Free Consultation: You’ll start with a one-on-one consultation to review your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. This step helps us determine whether ketamine therapy is a safe, appropriate option for you.
2. Initial Assessment: After your free consultation, the next step is a full two-hour assessment with one of our trained providers. This is where we begin building a complete picture of your mental and physical health, your treatment history, and your goals for the future.
3. Treatment Sessions: Most patients receive IV infusions or oral lozenge sessions in a private, calming treatment room. You’re monitored throughout by our clinical team, and we check in regularly on how you’re feeling.
4. Integration & Support: After each session, we help you make sense of the experience. Many patients benefit from short therapy sessions, journaling prompts, or mindfulness tools to carry the insights forward.
5. Ongoing Monitoring: We track your mental health progress using standardized assessments, regular check-ins, and optional coordination with your outside therapist or psychiatrist.

Many of our patients have tried multiple medications. Some have been in therapy for years. Others were recently hospitalized and need better options. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll meet you there.
