Plus by APN offers interventional psychiatry and neurotechnology at a luxe and comfortable setting in the Malibu Country Mart to help clients move through depression, OCD, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions.
Market Position: Plus by APN is one of the Spravato-certified ketamine providers in the Los Angeles metro on HealingMaps — a provider type eligible for commercial insurance prior authorization pathways that cash-pay IV clinics are not.
Is Plus by APN Right for You?
✓ Choose Plus by APN if:
- You’re seeking verified ketamine therapy in the Los Angeles 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 Plus by APN
This 4-question summary covers the most common patient questions for ketamine clinics in Malibu, California. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine treatments does Plus by APN offer?
Plus by APN offers verified ketamine therapy services in Malibu. 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 Plus by APN 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 Plus by APN. If insurance coverage matters, ask whether they offer Spravato (insurance-covered for TRD) versus IV ketamine (typically self-pay).
Does Plus by APN 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 Plus by APN which specific conditions they treat most often and how their protocols differ by indication.
How does Plus by APN compare to other ketamine clinics in Malibu, California?
Compare ketamine clinics in Malibu, California 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. Plus by APN’s positioning on these axes determines whether it’s the right fit for your specific diagnosis and budget.
Beyond ketamine, this clinic offers TMS therapy — an FDA-cleared option that requires no IV access, 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.
