Transformation Center (Spravato IOP Program) – Memphis, Tennessee Ketamine Clinics

✓ Last verified: April 3, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: The only Memphis-metro Spravato provider with integrated Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) wraparound — uniquely positioned for severe treatment-resistant depression patients who need more than standard medication management alongside their esketamine treatment.

HealingMaps Take: The Transformation Center fills a clinical gap in the Memphis market that pure outpatient Spravato providers can’t address — patients whose treatment-resistant depression is severe enough to warrant IOP or PHP-level support but who also need access to FDA-approved esketamine therapy. Spravato can be delivered standalone or integrated with the structured IOP program (Mon-Fri 9-3 hours), where patients receive DBT skills training, mindfulness, “Intention Setting Hour” before treatments, and daily group/individual therapy. The clinical team — Dr. Nga Huynh (psychiatrist), Raj Mukatira PhD PMHNP (prescriber), and Kristena Partridge LCSW (clinical director) — gives the practice physician-level oversight that many Spravato-only clinics lack. Insurance coordination handled in-house removes the biggest barrier to Spravato access for working-class Memphis families. For TRD patients with co-occurring substance use, eating disorders, or trauma — populations that pure outpatient ketamine clinics often decline — Transformation Center’s full continuum of care (IOP/PHP/standalone Spravato) is uniquely equipped.

Patient Review

“The IOP integration is what made the difference for me. I’d done Spravato standalone at another clinic and the dissociation was scary because I had no framework. At Transformation Center, the Intention Setting Hour before each session, the DBT skills work, and the supportive group programming meant the medication had something to land on. My depression actually got better instead of just being temporarily blunted.”

Spravato is the primary insurance-covered ketamine option for treatment-resistant depression. Worth confirming the prior-authorization timeline before booking your first session.

Is Transformation Center (Spravato IOP Program) suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Transformation Center (Spravato IOP Program) 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.

Does Transformation Center (Spravato IOP Program) treat PTSD?

Yes — Transformation Center (Spravato IOP Program) treats PTSD. Spravato 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 Transformation Center (Spravato IOP Program) help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Transformation Center (Spravato IOP Program) 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.
