How long has the Westside Mind Health clinical team been delivering ketamine therapy, and what specialty training do your providers hold?
Does Westside Mind Health provide a superbill for out-of-network insurance reimbursement, and what’s a typical 6-session total cost including any follow-up?

Patient Questions about Westside Mind Health
This 4-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Westside Mind Health treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does Westside Mind Health offer?
Westside Mind Health offers IV ketamine, KAP and IM ketamine — a 3-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 Westside Mind Health offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Yes — Westside Mind Health 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 Westside Mind Health suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Westside Mind Health 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 Westside Mind Health help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Westside Mind 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.
