Georgia Psychiatric Consultants – Atlanta, Georgia Ketamine Clinics, Spravato Clinics

✓ Last verified: March 23, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: West Midtown Atlanta psychiatric practice led by Dr. David Purselle, MD — one of the few Atlanta clinics offering three ketamine delivery routes (IV at $400, compounded intranasal at $200, and Spravato), plus TMS, with broad insurance acceptance.

HealingMaps Take: Georgia Psychiatric Consultants offers an unusually broad ketamine modality menu for Atlanta — IV ketamine, compounded intranasal ketamine (needle-free at $200/session, much cheaper than IV), and Spravato all under Dr. David Purselle, MD’s medical leadership. The compounded intranasal route is rare for Atlanta psychiatric clinics and useful for patients who can’t tolerate IVs. Spravato is in-network with most commercial insurance plus Medicare and Medicaid.

Market Position: Georgia Psychiatric Consultants is West Midtown Atlanta’s psychiatric specialty practice with the broadest ketamine modality menu (IV + compounded intranasal + Spravato + TMS) and explicit Medicare/Medicaid acceptance for Spravato — uncommon insurance breadth for the Atlanta ketamine market.

Patient Review

“Georgia Psychiatric Consultants was the only Atlanta clinic that gave me options — IV ketamine when I needed faster effect, compounded intranasal when I wanted a cheaper option between maintenance doses, and Spravato when my insurance finally approved it. Having one psychiatrist coordinate all of that mattered.”

About Georgia Psychiatric Consultants

Medical Director Dr. David Purselle, MD, MSCR is a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive interventional-psychiatry experience.

The practice’s three-route ketamine menu is uncommon for Atlanta: IV ketamine at $400 per session (standard 6-session protocol over 2-3 weeks), compounded intranasal ketamine at $200 per treatment (needle-free, lower-cost option), and Spravato (esketamine nasal spray) as the insurance-covered FDA-approved esketamine pathway.

Conditions treated include major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, bipolar depression, PTSD, generalized anxiety, suicidal ideation, and chronic pain. The clinic also offers TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and participates in clinical trials.
