Revolutionary Treatments For Rapid Relief

  • Ketamine Therapy

    Ketamine therapy in Houston offers an innovative, FDA-approved treatment that works rapidly to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Unlike traditional medications that can take weeks to show effects, ketamine therapy often produces results within hours to days. Administered in a controlled clinical setting via IV infusion, ketamine works by creating new neural pathways in the brain, offering relief when conventional treatments have failed. At Catalyst Health & Wellness, our personalized ketamine treatment protocols ensure each patient receives the optimal dosage and care for their specific condition, all under close medical supervision.

  • Spravato

    Spravato therapy in Houston provides a breakthrough FDA-approved treatment for adults struggling with treatment-resistant depression. This nasal spray form of esketamine delivers rapid relief, often within hours, for patients who haven’t found success with traditional antidepressants. During your Spravato treatment session at Catalyst Health & Wellness, you’ll self-administer the medication under direct medical supervision in our comfortable clinic setting. Because Spravato works differently than conventional antidepressants, it can restore hope for those who’ve tried multiple medications without lasting improvement. Our personalized protocols ensure each patient receives safe, effective care tailored to their unique needs.

  • KAP

    Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in Houston combines the rapid-acting benefits of ketamine with the depth and support of professional psychotherapy. This evidence-based approach helps individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders access deeper emotional insight and interrupt negative thought patterns. Through our partnership with Houston Wellness Collective, Catalyst Health & Wellness connects you with specialized therapists trained in KAP delivery. By pairing ketamine’s neuroplasticity-enhancing effects with expert therapeutic guidance, KAP can maximize and prolong your treatment benefits, turning momentary relief into lasting transformation.

  • Stellate Ganglion Block

    Stellate ganglion block (SGB) in Houston offers a fast-acting, minimally invasive treatment for PTSD, anxiety, and trauma-related conditions. This procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic near the stellate ganglion, a cluster of nerves in the neck that regulates your body’s stress response. By calming an overactive sympathetic nervous system, SGB can produce rapid relief from symptoms like hypervigilance, panic, and emotional dysregulation. Many patients notice improvement within minutes, with effects lasting a month or longer. At Catalyst Health & Wellness, our experienced team performs SGB under ultrasound guidance, ensuring precision and safety throughout your treatment.

  • TMS

    TMS therapy in Houston delivers FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for depression, OCD, and anxiety when traditional medications haven’t worked. Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation, specifically the prefrontal cortex. Unlike antidepressants that affect your entire body, TMS treatment focuses only on the brain regions involved in your condition, which is why it produces minimal side effects. At Catalyst Health & Wellness, each session takes just 19-37 minutes, requires no anesthesia, and lets you return to normal activities immediately. Our personalized TMS protocols help retrain your brain’s neural pathways for lasting relief.

Commonly Asked Questions

Get Help Now

What is ketamine?

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic used for anesthesia and procedural sedation. First synthesized from phencyclidine (PCP) in 1962, it produces dream-like state that is dissociated from reality.

Is ketamine therapy safe?

Yes, ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for over 50 years. When administered by trained medical professionals in controlled doses, ketamine therapy is well-tolerated with minimal side effects.

How quickly will I see results?

Many patients report feeling relief within hours after their first infusion, though optimal results typically occur after completing the initial series of 6 treatments over 2-3 weeks.

Will my insurance cover ketamine therapy?

While ketamine itself is FDA-approved, ketamine therapy for mental health is considered off-label use and may not be covered by all insurance plans. We provide detailed invoices that you can submit to your insurance.

What does a ketamine infusion feel like?

During treatment, patients typically experience a dissociative state that feels dreamlike or meditative. Some describe floating sensations or altered perceptions.

How long do the effects last?

Initial symptom relief can last days to weeks after the first treatment series. Many patients maintain results for months with periodic maintenance infusions.
