Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa – Tampa, Florida Ketamine Clinics, Spravato Clinics

✓ Last verified: March 2, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: Multi-location psychiatric practice offering ketamine infusions starting at $250 with insurance, plus Spravato with 100% insurance coverage and no out-of-pocket cost.

HealingMaps Take: Cornerstone Psychiatric Care is one of the rare clinics in Tampa offering ketamine with partial insurance coverage and Spravato with full insurance coverage — a major differentiator in a market where most clinics are cash-only. Dr. Ettensohn’s ECT fellowship at Emory signals deep expertise in treatment-resistant conditions, and the multi-location model means continuity of care across Florida.

Market Position: Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Tampa metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.

Patient Questions about Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa

This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

What ketamine protocols does Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa offer?

Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa offers Spravato and IV ketamine — 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 Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa offer Spravato (esketamine)?

Yes — Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa offers Spravato, which means they’re FDA REMS-certified and maintain the required two-hour in-office monitoring window after each dose. Spravato is the primary insurance-covered ketamine option for treatment-resistant depression. Worth confirming the prior-authorization timeline before booking your first session.

Is Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD), and IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). The Spravato pathway is the most likely to obtain commercial insurance coverage. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.

Does Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa treat PTSD?

Yes — Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa treats PTSD. Both Spravato and IV ketamine can be used for trauma. Ketamine for trauma differs from depression treatment: dosing is often lower per session, and pairing the protocol with trauma-focused therapy between sessions is common. A reasonable consult question: whether PTSD patients here typically use ketamine alone or alongside an outside therapist.

Can Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Cornerstone Psychiatric Care Tampa 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.
