Help the brain form new, healthier connections—paving the way to emotional healing and hope
Ketamine Treatment
Ketamine is a medication traditionally used as an anesthetic, but in recent years it’s been repurposed—at lower doses—for its remarkable effects on mood and mental health.
When administered in a carefully monitored clinical setting, ketamine can:
➡️ Reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicidality
➡️ Act within hours or days, unlike traditional antidepressants
➡️ Stimulate neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire and heal itself
➡️ Create new pathways for resilience and emotional stability
Unlike long-term medication trials, many patients begin to feel relief within the first few days of starting, sometimes on the first day.
Your care begins with a comprehensive consultation. If ketamine is appropriate, you’ll receive a series of low-dose administrations, typically over two (2) to three (3) weeks, in a relaxing and supportive medical setting.
Each session includes:
✅ Pre-session check-in with Dr. Cook
✅ Comfortable, intra-nasally administered ketamine as a mist (lasting ~40 minutes)
✅ Post-session monitoring until you're ready to leave safely
✅ Ongoing symptom tracking to evaluate your progress
✅ Your dose is adjusted by Dr. Cook at each session to optimize symptom relief

Ketamine may be appropriate if you:
Have treatment-resistant depression or generalized anxiety disorder
Struggle with PTSD, especially trauma-related emotional dysregulation
Have experienced suicidal thoughts despite therapy or medication
Want to explore non-traditional options backed by neuroscience
Are looking for rapid symptom relief to stabilize your mental health

Other Therapies & Treatments
Developed at Stanford University, SAINT is a cutting-edge therapy designed to provide rapid relief from treatment-resistant depression. Five days of treatment using patented brain-connectivity-driven selection of the optimal stimulation target leads to remission in ~70-75% of patients. LATMS is one of the First Clinics in the World certified to provide true SAINT treatments.
Accelerated TMS
With Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) patients have multiple treatments each day, typically over two weeks; this approach has helped people with complex mood, anxiety, OCD, and pain conditions recover much more quickly than with the 2008-vintage once-a-day treatment protocols.
