Pasithea Clinics Los Angeles provides ketamine services to people battling debilitating mood disorders. The team at the clinic has watched as the mental health epidemic continues to worsen, and aims to provide treatment in a way that addresses the unmet need for mental health services.
The Pasithea Clinic in Los Angeles opened in summer 2022 in West Hollywood, and provides a comfortable space for patients to consult with medical professionals about their issues. This represents Pasithea’s only standing location, as mobile clinics are available in San Francisco, San Diego, Miami and New York.
Pasithea was founded by both Dr. Lawrence Steinman and Dr. Tiago Reis Marques, who are both leading professionals in the field of neurology and psychiatry. The two, along with their team at Pasithea Clinics Los Angeles, provide evidence-based mental health treatments such as ketamine as a way to offer long-term relief and lasting remission.
According to a recent article from Los Angeles Business Journal, Dr. Marques views Pasithea Los Angeles as a necessary path for providing comprehensive care.
“My main goal in life is to provide new solutions for patients needing help with the mental health challenges they are facing. Pasithea is innovating the way we treat psychiatric disorders and the opening of our Los Angeles clinic is the next step in revolutionizing care for those who are suffering.”
In addition to traditional IV ketamine therapy, the Pasithea Clinic in Los Angeles provides Spravato — an FDA-approved nasal spray used for depression therapy. Studies from Johns Hopkins show that Spravato reduces depression symptoms in a majority of people in clinical trials.
Finally, Pasithea plans to add TMS Therapy to its treatment offerings as well. Using this form of therapy has shown to help alleviate symptoms of several mental health conditions. TMS is a non-invasive treatment, and does not require muscle relaxants or any anesthesia.
