HealingMaps Take: Mindful Health Solutions is one of the nation’s largest Spravato (esketamine) providers and the second-largest administrator of the treatment in the country. Their UCSF-area San Francisco location offers the advantage of insurance-covered ketamine treatment through the FDA-cleared Spravato nasal spray. Their revolutionary MindfulONE TMS condenses 36 days of treatment into a single day. A strong choice for patients seeking evidence-based, insurance-friendly options.
Market Position: Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Francisco metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.
Is Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) Right for You?
✓ Choose Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) if:
You have commercial insurance and a documented treatment-resistant depression diagnosis (Spravato pathway)
✗ Look elsewhere if:
You’re seeking cash-pay IV ketamine instead of insurance-billed Spravato
You want ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with integrated talk therapy
You need same-week appointments — Spravato prior authorization typically takes 1–3 weeks
⚠ 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 Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF)
This 3-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Does Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) offer Spravato (esketamine)?
Yes — Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) 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 Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD). 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 Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Mindful Health Solutions (UCSF) 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.
