Florida Clinic Expands Ketamine Treatment for Depression

Thousands of people living with treatment-resistant depression just got a new reason for hope in Nocatee, Florida.

Serenity Mental Health Centers announced this week it's expanding ketamine infusion therapy at its Nocatee location. The treatment offers an evidence-based option for patients whose depression or anxiety hasn't responded to traditional medications.

Ketamine therapy has shown promising results for people battling conditions like depression, PTSD, and OCD when other treatments haven't worked. Board-certified psychiatrists at Serenity carefully evaluate each patient to determine if ketamine infusion is the right fit for their unique needs.

"Our goal with ketamine treatment in Nocatee is not just to reduce symptoms, but to give patients the tools and confidence to thrive long term," said Tricia Pease, COO and co-founder of Serenity Mental Health Centers. The clinic tailors every infusion to the individual person receiving care.

The center offers more than just ketamine therapy. Patients can access psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for various mental health conditions.

The Ripple Effect

What makes Serenity's approach particularly impactful is how they're removing common obstacles to mental health care. The clinic operates on an outpatient model with flexible scheduling and same-day appointments available.

For many people struggling with mental health challenges, getting timely care can feel impossible. Long wait times and rigid scheduling often stand between patients and the help they need.

With 35 locations across the country now, Serenity is making comprehensive mental health services more accessible to communities that desperately need them. The expansion means more families will have local access to innovative treatments that could transform their lives.

Mental health care is finally catching up to the urgency people feel when they're struggling, one appointment at a time.
