ABOUT US
Our Mission
New Pathways Clinic always puts the needs of our patients first. We exist because we believe the current mental health epidemic in America requires new tools and a bold new vision of what mental health care looks like. We believe that merely reducing symptoms of conditions is not an acceptable treatment plan. We strive for an outcome of mental wellness for all of our patients.
Backed by recent scientific evidence and professional experience, we know incorporating ketamine in treatment plans currently provides the best chance of achieving that outcome. There has not been a widely adopted new treatment for mental illness in over 30 years and far too many patients have not found relief from existing treatments.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a holistic mental wellness campus that combines cutting-edge treatments like ketamine infusions, with health professionals specialized in providing accompanying therapy and lifestyle education. Which is why we have partnered with Stella Luna Counseling and Wellness and others. We know that while Ketamine produces amazing results, it is just one piece of the puzzle in achieving an optimized life. We strive to grow and adapt the treatments and services we offer as the scientific body of research continues to expand and diversify for mental health.
