People suffering from the debilitating symptoms of treatment-resistant mood disorders can find relief at Heading Health. Our medical center offers a range of accessible treatments including traditional therapy & psychiatry along with TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and ketamine therapy to patients that have failed to find recovery through traditional forms of medicine. We offer two forms of ketamine therapy: intramuscular and SPRAVATO (nasal spray), both of which are covered under most insurance plans.
Market Position: Heading Health is one of the Spravato-certified ketamine providers in the Austin metro on HealingMaps — a provider type eligible for commercial insurance prior authorization pathways that cash-pay IV clinics are not.
Is Heading Health Right for You?
✓ Choose Heading Health if:
You’re seeking verified ketamine therapy in the Austin metro
✗ Look elsewhere if:
You want ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with integrated talk therapy
You’re seeking ketamine for chronic pain (this clinic focuses on mental health)
⚠ FDA-cleared indications for TMS therapy: treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD, Deep TMS only), anxious depression, short-term smoking cessation, and adolescent MDD (ages 15–21). Use of TMS for other conditions including PTSD, bipolar depression, fibromyalgia, and other indications is off-label — not currently FDA-cleared for those specific indications. Discuss your condition with the clinic to understand insurance coverage and clinical evidence.

Patient Questions about Heading Health
This 4-question summary covers the most common patient questions for ketamine clinics in Austin, Texas. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine treatments does Heading Health offer?
Heading Health offers verified ketamine therapy services in Austin. Specific protocols can include IV ketamine infusion, IM ketamine injection, oral troches, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), or Spravato (FDA-approved esketamine) — verify the specific protocol mix with the clinic during your consult call. Multi-protocol practices typically offer more flexibility for matching the modality to your diagnosis and insurance coverage.
Is Heading Health suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) — typically defined as failure on two or more antidepressant trials — is the most common qualifier for ketamine therapy and the FDA-approved indication for Spravato. Patients meeting that bar are typical candidates at ketamine clinics like Heading Health. If insurance coverage matters, ask whether they offer Spravato (insurance-covered for TRD) versus IV ketamine (typically self-pay).
Does Heading Health treat PTSD, anxiety, or chronic pain?
Most ketamine clinics treat PTSD and anxiety alongside depression — these three conditions account for ~46% of HealingMaps patient inquiries. Some clinics also treat chronic pain (CRPS, fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain), though pain protocols differ from mental-health protocols (longer infusion times, higher doses). Ask Heading Health which specific conditions they treat most often and how their protocols differ by indication.
How does Heading Health compare to other ketamine clinics in Austin, Texas?
Compare ketamine clinics in Austin, Texas on three axes: (1) protocol mix — multi-protocol clinics offer flexibility; (2) clinical lead — psychiatrist-led clinics typically include KAP integration, anesthesiologist-led clinics typically focus on infusion; (3) insurance posture — Spravato-certified providers can run insurance coverage; cash-only IV clinics cannot. Heading Health’s positioning on these axes determines whether it’s the right fit for your specific diagnosis and budget.
TMS therapy is also available at this clinic. Unlike cash-pay ketamine, TMS is covered by most major insurance plans for treatment-resistant depression. TMS is FDA-cleared for treatment-resistant depression (since 2008), OCD via Deep TMS, anxious depression, and adolescent MDD ages 15–21. This clinic uses BrainsWay Deep TMS, the only TMS device with standalone FDA clearance for OCD via the H7 coil.
