Ketamine Therapy for Tampa, Florida
Physician-supervised ketamine therapy for adults across Tampa, Florida — what it is, who it may help, and how to start. Our clinic is in nearby Wesley Chapel.
What ketamine therapy is
Ketamine is a medication that has been used in anesthesia for decades. In much lower, carefully controlled doses, some clinics — including ours — use a compounded, non-FDA-approved preparation of it as part of a supervised treatment plan for certain mental health conditions and chronic pain syndromes that have not responded well to standard care.
Ketamine therapy is not a first-line treatment, and it does not help everyone. It may be considered only after a thorough medical evaluation, and every session at our clinic happens under direct clinical supervision, because that is the only responsible way to offer it.
- Administered in a clinical setting with monitoring — never sold for unsupervised use
- Considered alongside, not instead of, your existing mental health or medical care
- Recommended only when the potential benefit appears to justify the known risks
Our model of care
Every course of treatment follows the same three-step path: a full evaluation, a plan built around your history and goals, and a series of monitored sessions with planned follow-up. Nothing starts until your questions have been answered in plain language, and you are never asked to commit at the evaluation stage.
With your permission, we coordinate with your existing psychiatrist, therapist, or physician. Ketamine therapy works as one part of a broader care plan — we would rather complement your current providers than replace them.
Conditions we may consider treatment for
Research support is strongest for depression — including treatment-resistant depression — and earlier for other conditions. After a full evaluation, ketamine therapy may be considered for adults living with:
Each of these conditions has its own page on this site with an honest summary of the evidence. Where the research is thin, we say so plainly.
- Depression, especially when standard treatments have not brought adequate relief
- Treatment-resistant depression
- Certain anxiety disorders, where the evidence is still early
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Certain chronic pain conditions, in coordination with your pain physician
Safety and supervision come first
Ketamine can cause short-term side effects — including nausea, dizziness, a temporary rise in blood pressure, and dissociation — and it is not appropriate for people with certain medical or psychiatric histories. The FDA has also warned about risks tied to compounded ketamine products used without adequate safeguards, which is exactly why screening, setting, and monitoring matter.
Before any treatment, our clinical team reviews your health history, current medications, and goals. During treatment you are monitored. Afterward, we plan follow-up together. If ketamine therapy is not a good fit for you, we will tell you that directly.
Honest talk about cost
Ketamine therapy is a significant investment. Clear Ketamine Therapy is a cash-pay clinic. We do not bill insurance and we are not in network with any plan. After your evaluation, you receive the full cost of the recommended course in writing before you are asked to commit to anything.
You will never see a surprise charge from us, and no deposit is required just to hear the number.
Rooted in the Tampa Bay area
Clear Ketamine Therapy serves adults across the Tampa Bay area, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Brandon. Our clinic is at 27724 Cashford Circle, Suite 102, Wesley Chapel, FL 33544, a straightforward drive north of the city.
In person or by telehealth
You can be seen both ways. Consultations, planning conversations, and follow-up visits happen in person at our Wesley Chapel clinic or by telehealth — whichever works better for you.
Ketamine itself is always administered in person, at the clinic, with a clinician monitoring you throughout. We do not prescribe ketamine for use at home.
Telehealth visits require you to be physically located in Florida at the time of the visit.
How telehealth works here
- Telehealth is available to patients who are physically located in Florida, and the clinicians providing that care hold active Florida licenses.
- Your location is confirmed at the start of every telehealth visit. If you are not in Florida, the visit does not go ahead.
- Ketamine is never prescribed for you to take at home. It is administered only at our clinic, in person, with a clinician monitoring you throughout — a telehealth visit does not change that.
- You are seen in person before any treatment session, because every session happens at the clinic.
- A telehealth visit never guarantees that treatment will be offered, any more than an in-person evaluation does.
- Telehealth is not for emergencies. If you are in crisis or having thoughts of self-harm, call or text 988, or call 911.
Common questions
The ketamine used here is compounded by a licensed outsourcing facility and is not FDA-approved. No compounded medication is FDA-approved for any use, and the preparation used here is no exception. We explain these distinctions before any treatment decision.
Generally, adults whose condition has not responded adequately to standard treatments and whose medical history makes supervised ketamine a reasonable option. Candidacy depends on your diagnosis, prior treatments, current medications, and overall health — a clinical evaluation is the only reliable way to find out.
At-home models typically use compounded lozenges or tablets taken without in-person monitoring. Treatment at our clinic happens in a clinical setting with supervision during and after each session. The FDA has specifically cautioned about risks of compounded ketamine used outside monitored settings.
No. Clear Ketamine Therapy is a cash-pay clinic. We do not bill insurance and we are not in network with any plan. Because the ketamine used here is compounded and is not FDA-approved, many plans do not cover it in any case. You always receive the full cost of a recommended course in writing before treatment begins.
Request a consultation through the contact page. The first step is a medical evaluation — a conversation, not a commitment — where we review your history and decide together whether ketamine therapy may be worth considering.
