Known For: Serenity Mental Health Centers is a multi-location psychiatry practice offering comprehensive mental health services including ketamine infusions, Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray, TMS therapy, and medication management. Founded in 2017, they’ve expanded from a single Gilbert clinic to multiple locations across Arizona and six states. Their West Chandler office provides spa-like treatment environments.
HealingMaps Take: Serenity Mental Health Centers offers a broad menu of advanced treatments — IV ketamine, Spravato, and TMS therapy — which gives patients multiple options for treatment-resistant depression. Their spa-like clinic design aims to make the treatment experience more comfortable. As a multi-state chain, they bring standardized protocols and infrastructure, though online reviews are mixed and prospective patients should research individual location reviews carefully. The West Chandler office serves the Ahwatukee and south Phoenix corridor.
Market Position: Serenity Mental Health is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Chandler 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 Serenity Mental Health
This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Serenity Mental Health treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does Serenity Mental Health offer?
Serenity Mental Health offers Spravato and IV ketamine — 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 Serenity Mental Health offer Spravato (esketamine)?
Yes — Serenity Mental Health 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 Serenity Mental Health suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Serenity Mental Health treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD), and IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). 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.
Does Serenity Mental Health treat PTSD?
Yes — Serenity Mental Health treats PTSD. Both Spravato and IV ketamine can be used for trauma. Ketamine for trauma differs from depression treatment: dosing is often lower per session, and pairing the protocol with trauma-focused therapy between sessions is common. A reasonable consult question: whether PTSD patients here typically use ketamine alone or alongside an outside therapist.
Can Serenity Mental Health help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Serenity Mental Health 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.
TMS therapy is also available at this clinic, alongside ketamine and Spravato. Unlike cash-pay ketamine, TMS is covered by most major insurance plans for treatment-resistant depression. TMS is FDA-cleared for treatment-resistant depression (since 2008), OCD via Deep TMS, anxious depression, and adolescent MDD ages 15–21. Read our complete guide to TMS therapy for FDA-cleared conditions, device differences, insurance coverage by carrier, and what to expect at your first appointment.
