HealingMaps Take: Zen Psychiatric brings board-certified psychiatric expertise to ketamine therapy across western and central North Carolina. Dr. Frasca’s psychiatric training at Wake Forest ensures patients receive ketamine within a proper psychiatric care framework, and the availability of both SPRAVATO (FDA-approved, potentially insurance-covered) and IM ketamine gives patients flexibility in treatment approach.
Market Position: Zen Psychiatric Services is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Mooresville metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.
Is Zen Psychiatric Services Right for You?
✓ Choose Zen Psychiatric Services if:
- You have commercial insurance and a documented treatment-resistant depression diagnosis (Spravato pathway)
- You prefer the shorter, lower-cost IM ketamine protocol
- You’re treating co-occurring depression and PTSD
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You’re seeking cash-pay IV ketamine instead of insurance-billed Spravato
- You want ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with integrated talk therapy
- You need same-week appointments — Spravato prior authorization typically takes 1–3 weeks

Patient Questions about Zen Psychiatric Services
This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Zen Psychiatric Services treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does Zen Psychiatric Services offer?
Zen Psychiatric Services offers Spravato and IM ketamine — 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 Zen Psychiatric Services offer Spravato (esketamine)?
Yes — Zen Psychiatric Services offers Spravato, which means they’re FDA REMS-certified and maintain the required two-hour in-office monitoring window after each dose. Spravato is the primary insurance-covered ketamine option for treatment-resistant depression. Worth confirming the prior-authorization timeline before booking your first session.
Is Zen Psychiatric Services suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Zen Psychiatric Services 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 Zen Psychiatric Services treat PTSD?
Yes — Zen Psychiatric Services 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 Zen Psychiatric Services help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Zen Psychiatric Services 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.
