Known For: Connecticut Psychiatric & Wellness Center’s Ansonia office is part of a multi-location psychiatric practice led by Dr. David Aversa, a triple board-certified psychiatrist.

Dr. Aversa’s triple board certification is a strong credential, and the practice’s individualized approach to ketamine dosing reflects a thoughtful clinical methodology. The Ansonia office provides access to the lower Naugatuck Valley and surrounding communities. Patients should note the recommended protocol of two sessions per week for 4–5 weeks when planning their treatment timeline and budget.

Patient Questions about Connecticut Psychiatric

This question is matched to the conditions Connecticut Psychiatric treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

Is Connecticut Psychiatric suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Connecticut Psychiatric treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). 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.
