When depression, anxiety, or trauma symptoms refuse to lift, you deserve an option that works differently—and faster. IV Ketamine Therapy is a clinically supported treatment for people who haven’t found relief with traditional medications or therapy alone.
At New Pathways Clinic, we provide IV Ketamine Therapy for Columbus, OH, patients in a calm, medically supervised setting designed for safety, comfort, and results. Ketamine works on the brain’s glutamate system, helping restore healthy neural connections that regulate mood, stress, and emotional flexibility—often within days, not months.
Our ketamine clinic proudly serves patients throughout Columbus and Central Ohio, including Downtown Columbus, Short North, German Village, Grandview Heights, Upper Arlington, Clintonville, Worthington, Dublin, Hilliard, Gahanna, Westerville, Reynoldsburg, Grove City, Groveport, Pickerington, Bexley, Whitehall, Lewis Center, Powell, Canal Winchester, New Albany, and Blacklick.
Traditional antidepressants primarily affect serotonin and can take weeks to show results—if they work at all. IV Ketamine Therapy targets glutamate and NMDA receptors, activating neuroplasticity and helping the brain “reset” rigid or overactive mood circuits.
Ketamine is delivered intravenously, allowing for precise, individualized dosing and close monitoring throughout the session. Many patients from Clintonville, Short North, and German Village notice improvement in mood, energy, or emotional clarity within the first few infusions.
Each visit is designed to be calm, predictable, and medically guided—no guessing, no rushed care.
Initial Consultation & Screening
We review medical history, current medications, symptoms, and goals to confirm safety and fit.
Infusion Session
• 45–60 minute IV infusion
• Reclined chair in a private, softly lit room
• Continuous monitoring by licensed medical professionals
Recovery & Integration Guidance
After the infusion, you’ll rest briefly while the effects settle. We provide clear after-visit guidance and recommendations to help results last.
Patients from Grandview Heights, Worthington, and Gahanna appreciate the consistency—knowing exactly what to expect at every visit.
IV Ketamine Therapy has helped many individuals manage:
People across Upper Arlington, Dublin, Westerville, and Reynoldsburg often seek IV ketamine after medications plateau or stop working altogether. This treatment is especially valuable when symptoms feel urgent, severe, or emotionally exhausting.
Induction Phase
Typically 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks to stabilize symptoms and activate neuroplastic change.
Progress Review
We assess response and adjust timing or dosage as needed.
Maintenance Phase
Booster infusions are scheduled monthly or quarterly to sustain gains.
Ongoing Support
Many patients pair IV Ketamine Therapy with psychotherapy or Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for longer-lasting results.
Our clinic’s phased approach allows the brain to stabilize, adapt, and maintain healthier emotional patterns over time.
Ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for decades. At New Pathways’ Columbus ketamine clinic, every infusion occurs under continuous clinical monitoring.
Temporary side effects may include lightheadedness, dissociation, or fatigue, typically resolving shortly after the session. Treatment rooms are quiet, private, and intentionally calming so patients from Bexley, Whitehall, and Grove City can relax while their nervous system resets.
Safety is not an add-on—it’s built into every step of care.

TREATMENT PLAN
IV Ketamine Therapy uses carefully dosed intravenous ketamine to activate neuroplasticity in the brain’s glutamate system. Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine works rapidly to restore communication between mood-regulating brain regions.
Many Columbus patients—especially those from Short North, Clintonville, and German Village—seek IV ketamine after multiple medications have failed. Treatments are fully supervised in a medical setting, offering both safety and precision. For many people, this approach provides faster relief, improved emotional flexibility, and renewed capacity to engage in therapy and daily life.
Your first visit includes a clinical review, vital signs, and a 45–60 minute infusion in a reclined chair. You’ll remain awake and monitored throughout. Many patients from Grandview Heights, Bexley, and Upper Arlington describe the experience as calm, introspective, or gently dissociative.
After a brief recovery period, most people leave feeling centered or lighter, though you’ll need a ride home. Clear aftercare instructions help you stay grounded for the rest of the day.
Individuals with uncontrolled high blood pressure, certain heart conditions, or active substance use concerns may need additional screening or alternative care. We complete a thorough evaluation before approval.
If IV ketamine isn’t appropriate, we’ll discuss safer alternatives such as Spravato or therapy-based approaches. Patients across Central Ohio value this honest, safety-first guidance.
IV Ketamine Therapy has shown benefit for depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and bipolar depression. By enhancing glutamate signaling and BDNF activity, ketamine helps restore emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility.
Many patients from Columbus neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs report improved resilience and reduced symptom intensity within weeks.
At New Pathways Clinic, we offer three advanced, science-supported treatment approaches for adults in Columbus seeking new options for depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and other persistent mental health challenges.
Whether traditional treatments haven’t provided enough relief or you’re looking for a more personalized path forward, our team helps you explore which option may best match your symptoms, history, and goals.
Ketamine is FDA-approved as an anesthetic and used off-label in mental health care for individuals experiencing treatment-resistant depression, chronic anxiety, PTSD symptoms, or persistent emotional distress.
Many patients describe IV Ketamine Therapy as helping reduce emotional heaviness, interrupt rigid thought loops, and create greater mental flexibility when other approaches have not been enough.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy combines low-dose ketamine with structured psychotherapy and integration support.
Some patients find KAP especially helpful for working through trauma, anxiety, grief, or deeply rooted emotional patterns by creating space for greater self-awareness and therapeutic breakthroughs.
Spravato® is an FDA-approved nasal spray specifically indicated for adults with treatment-resistant depression and certain depressive symptoms.
Many Columbus patients choose Spravato when they are seeking an evidence-based option that may help reduce depressive symptoms while remaining connected to ongoing psychiatric or therapeutic support.
If you’ve been searching for real progress—not just another prescription—we’re here to help. We’ll listen carefully, answer questions honestly, and build a treatment plan that feels safe, grounded, and realistic.
