Patient Questions about Washington Interventional Psychiatry

This 4-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Washington Interventional Psychiatry treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

What ketamine protocols does Washington Interventional Psychiatry offer?

Washington Interventional Psychiatry offers IV ketamine and KAP — 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 Washington Interventional Psychiatry offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?

Yes — Washington Interventional Psychiatry offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.

Is Washington Interventional Psychiatry suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Washington Interventional Psychiatry treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based), and KAP for trauma-anchored depression. Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.

Can Washington Interventional Psychiatry help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Washington Interventional Psychiatry 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.
