LuminaThera — Columbus, OH Ketamine Clinics

✓ Last verified: February 9, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: Columbus’s only group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) provider, running a structured 25+ hour therapeutic program limited to nine participants per cohort.

HealingMaps Take: LuminaThera is doing something no other provider in Columbus offers: group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in a structured, multi-session format. Rather than one-off infusions, patients move through a 25-plus-hour program that includes preparation, dosing sessions, and integration—all within a small group of no more than nine people. The model draws on decades of psychedelic-assisted therapy research showing that group settings can amplify therapeutic outcomes through shared witnessing and mutual support. Brock brings roughly 25 years of trauma-informed therapy experience, and Justin’s background as a psychiatric nurse and former Ohio State University Nursing professor adds clinical rigor. This isn’t the right fit for someone looking for a quick infusion, but for patients willing to commit to the full program, the depth of the experience is hard to match anywhere in Ohio.

Market Position: LuminaThera is a verified ketamine provider in the metro on HealingMaps — one of 1,473 clinics we have mapped and tracked across 3,142 U.S. counties.

About LuminaThera

LuminaThera operates from the Franklinton neighborhood of Columbus and offers group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) as its core service. Each cohort is limited to nine participants who move through a multi-phase program totaling over 25 hours of therapeutic contact, including preparation sessions, guided ketamine dosing sessions, and post-experience integration work. The program is co-led by Brock, a trauma-informed therapist with approximately 25 years of clinical experience, and Justin, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who previously served as a professor at The Ohio State University College of Nursing. LuminaThera’s model is rooted in the emerging evidence base for group psychedelic-assisted therapy and emphasizes relational healing alongside individual symptom reduction.

Patient Questions about LuminaThera

This 2-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions LuminaThera treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

Does LuminaThera offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?

Yes — LuminaThera 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 LuminaThera suited for treatment-resistant depression?

LuminaThera treats depression via KAP for trauma-anchored depression. 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.
