HealingMaps Take: Lighthouse Psychiatry brings an impressive breadth of treatment options to Scottsdale, with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as part of a comprehensive brain health model. Their KAP program stands out by integrating group dosing sessions, expressive arts therapy, and sound meditation alongside traditional psychotherapy—a holistic approach that goes beyond simple infusion clinics. The large clinical team of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and licensed therapists ensures patients can find the right provider fit. A 4.8-star Zocdoc rating reflects strong patient satisfaction across the practice.
Market Position: Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Scottsdale 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 Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale
This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale offer?
Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale offers Spravato and KAP — 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 Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale offer Spravato (esketamine)?
Yes — Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale 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.
Does Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Yes — Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.
Is Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD), and KAP for trauma-anchored depression. 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.
Can Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Lighthouse Psychiatry Scottsdale 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.
In addition to ketamine and Spravato, this clinic offers TMS therapy — an FDA-cleared, insurance-covered alternative for patients who prefer no IV, 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. This clinic uses BrainsWay Deep TMS, the only TMS device with standalone FDA clearance for OCD via the H7 coil.
