GPW Psychiatry – Raleigh, North Carolina Ketamine Clinics, Spravato Clinics

✓ Last verified: February 19, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: A North Raleigh psychiatric group offering three ketamine delivery routes — IV, IM, and Spravato nasal spray — under one roof.

HealingMaps Take: GPW’s strength is optionality: few clinics in the Triangle give you IV, IM, and Spravato all from the same provider, which makes protocol switching or stepping down between modalities straightforward.

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

What to Expect at Your First GPW Psychiatry Appointment

1. Initial intake call — Insurance verification, prior authorization workflow (Spravato requires documentation of failure on at least two antidepressant trials), and clinical eligibility check. Call (919) 870-8409 to schedule.
2. Medical evaluation — in-person or telehealth psychiatric assessment, vitals check, and review of current medications with the GPW Psychiatry clinical team.
3. First treatment session — supervised IV ketamine infusion in a private treatment room, lasting approximately 60–90 minutes (40-minute infusion + recovery). Sessions are held at 8304 Creedmoor Rd, Raleigh, NC 27613. You’ll have a comfortable chair or recliner, dim lighting, and direct medical monitoring throughout.
4. Recovery and follow-up — observation period after dosing, mood check-in with the clinical team, and scheduling your next session. Arrange for a ride home; do not drive for 24 hours after your IV session.

Patient Questions about GPW Psychiatry

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

What ketamine protocols does GPW Psychiatry offer?

GPW Psychiatry offers Spravato, IV ketamine and IM ketamine — a 3-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 GPW Psychiatry offer Spravato (esketamine)?

Yes — GPW Psychiatry 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 GPW Psychiatry suited for treatment-resistant depression?

GPW Psychiatry 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 GPW Psychiatry treat PTSD?

Yes — GPW Psychiatry 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 GPW Psychiatry help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — GPW 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.
