HealingMaps Take: Bliss Progressive Psychiatry represents a thoughtful evolution in Louisville’s ketamine landscape. Mandy Bliss, PMHNP, has positioned her practice explicitly as a psychiatric practice that offers ketamine — not a ketamine clinic that does some psychiatry. That framing matters because it means ketamine is contextualized within a comprehensive psychiatric relationship: medication management, psychotherapy, and ketamine are integrated into a single treatment plan rather than siloed as separate services. The practice offers both IV ketamine infusions (the medical-model approach) and KAP (the therapy-integrated approach), giving patients the choice — or the combination — that fits their needs. The holistic psychiatry orientation means Bliss also considers nutrition, lifestyle, and somatic factors alongside pharmacological treatment. The St. Matthews location is convenient for central Louisville. For patients with complex trauma (C-PTSD) or treatment-resistant depression who want a provider that sees the full picture rather than just administering infusions, Bliss Progressive offers the depth of a psychiatric relationship combined with the power of ketamine.

Market Position: Bliss Progressive Psychiatry offers the full ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) protocol alongside medical-only ketamine dosing — one of the more integrated treatment menus in the Louisville metro.

Patient Questions about Bliss Progressive Psychiatry

This 4-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Bliss Progressive Psychiatry treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

What ketamine protocols does Bliss Progressive Psychiatry offer?

Bliss Progressive Psychiatry offers IV ketamine and KAP — a 2-protocol practice. Patients can switch between or combine modalities without changing providers. Confirm specific dosing schedules and which protocols are recommended for your condition during your consult.

Does Bliss Progressive Psychiatry offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?

Yes — Bliss Progressive Psychiatry offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.

Is Bliss Progressive Psychiatry suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Bliss Progressive Psychiatry treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based), and KAP for trauma-anchored depression. Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.

Can Bliss Progressive Psychiatry help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Bliss Progressive Psychiatry treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
