Clinical LeadDr. Heather Carlisle, PMHNP-BC — Dual Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

HealingMaps Take: Wily Wellness stands out in the Tucson market because it is a genuine ketamine-assisted psychotherapy practice — not just an infusion clinic that bolts on a therapy referral. Dr. Heather Carlisle is a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who built this practice around the principle that ketamine works best when embedded in a therapeutic relationship. Each $595 KAP session includes preparation, a guided oral ketamine experience, and integration work — the three-legged stool that research consistently shows produces the most durable outcomes. The oral route (sublingual lozenges) is intentional: it produces a gentler, longer experience that is more conducive to psychotherapeutic work than the dissociative peak of IV infusion. For Tucson patients who have tried antidepressants, talk therapy, or even IV ketamine without lasting results, Wily Wellness offers something fundamentally different — a model where the medicine and the therapy are not separate services but a single integrated experience. The practice also treats chronic pain and end-of-life distress, reflecting Dr. Carlisle’s understanding that ketamine’s applications extend well beyond depression.

Market Position: Wily Wellness treats both depression and PTSD — the two most common ketamine therapy indications, accounting for 34% of HealingMaps patient inquiries.

Patient Questions about Wily Wellness

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

Does Wily Wellness offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?

Yes — Wily Wellness 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 Wily Wellness suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Wily Wellness treats depression via 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.

Does Wily Wellness treat chronic pain conditions?

Yes — Wily Wellness treats chronic pain. Common indications include complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, and certain neuropathic pain syndromes. Pain pricing varies significantly by structure: per-infusion vs. multi-day inpatient packages — verify how this clinic structures their billing.

Can Wily Wellness help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Wily Wellness 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.
