Stella Center Chicago offers an interventional psychiatry approach to mental health. We treat mental health challenges as injuries, not disorders, by aiming to heal the injury instead of just managing the symptoms. Our ketamine therapy protocols pair in-office, medically guided infusions with virtual integration therapy to bring dramatic healing in the window of transformation following treatment.

Work directly with Stella’s Advanced Practice Provider to come up with a custom care plan with safe and effective treatment modalities, including:
I received treatment at the Chicago office. The personnel were wonderful! I had both treatments – ketamine and DSR SGB. During the ketamine treatment, if I started to feel panicky, I would focus on the doorknob to remind myself that I was in a safe environment. When I realized there was no plateau during treatment I was able to then “ride the waves” and relax into the experience. My DSR SGB treatment was the reset I was hoping it would be. While it didn’t diminish my chronic pain, it did help me handle it better. I’m not constantly “red-lining” every day. I did experience a headache for several days after treatment but it went away shortly after returning home (day 3 or 4). I would do this treatment again without hesitation. I returned home a different person – someone I actually like now.
