HealingMaps Take: CTRI in Burlingame stands out for the breadth of its treatment offerings — few clinics provide IV ketamine, IM ketamine, TMS, and ECT all under one roof alongside traditional psychiatric care. This multidisciplinary model means patients can work with one team to find the right combination of treatments rather than navigating between multiple providers. The research-oriented background adds credibility to their approach, though prospective patients should schedule a consultation to discuss which modality best fits their needs.
Market Position: CTRI treats both depression and PTSD — the two most common ketamine therapy indications, accounting for 34% of HealingMaps patient inquiries.

Patient Questions about CTRI
This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions CTRI treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does CTRI offer?
CTRI offers IV ketamine and IM 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.
Is CTRI suited for treatment-resistant depression?
CTRI 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.
Does CTRI treat chronic pain conditions?
Yes — CTRI treats chronic pain. They use IV ketamine for pain, which typically means longer infusion times and higher cumulative doses than mental-health protocols. Common indications include complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, and certain neuropathic pain syndromes. Pain pricing varies significantly by structure: per-infusion vs. multi-day inpatient packages — verify how this clinic structures their billing.
Does CTRI treat PTSD?
Yes — CTRI treats PTSD. 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 CTRI help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — CTRI 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.
Beyond ketamine, this clinic offers TMS therapy — an FDA-cleared option that requires no IV access, no sedation, and no recovery time. A standard course runs 36 sessions over 6 to 9 weeks, with most major commercial plans, Medicare Part B, and Tricare covering treatment after prior authorization.
