Ketamine and the related compound esketamine (Spravato) represent a truly innovative treatment that won FDA approval for the rapid treatment of depression in 2019. Our providers are some of the first in the Bay Area to develop expertise in this modality of treatment. We are dedicated to providing innovative and individualized treatment and are proud to offer ketamine services ranging from ketamine assisted psychotherapy to nasal spray or ketamine infusion.
Treated Conditions
• Treatment Resistant Depression
• Bipolar Depression
• Certain anxiety disorders including PTSD
• Certain pain conditions
To best serve our patients, BPA has developed different options for ketamine treatment. We provide ketamine injections, IV infusions, and oral dosing. The type of treatment provided is based on different patient factors, and we will discuss with you which method will work best.
While receiving ketamine, patients often experience a dissociated state – many researchers feel that in this state, patients are particularly able to benefit from specific psychotherapy techniques known as ketamine assisted psychotherapy or somatic therapies. Other patients prefer to spend the time listening to music or quietly resting. Our experienced psychiatrists work with each individual to determine which method will be most effective for you.

In 1994, a small group of psychiatrists formed Bay Psychiatric Associates because they recognized the need for a more effective and collaborative model of care. Our success led to the addition of outpatient and interventional services, with expansion to multiple locations. Today, BPA maintains a uniquely democratic workplace where patient care and physician autonomy are paramount.
We are proud to offer a continuum of clinical care that is both holistic and individualized, with support for physicians to continue to learn and refine their clinical skills. For our physicians and our patients, we recognize the value of collaboration, creativity, and community in creating and sustaining well-being.
Community • With over a quarter century in the San Francisco Bay Area, we have deep ties to our community. With every decision, we are committed to serving and improving the mental health of our community.

Collaboration • Our physicians enjoy a flexible and collegial workplace, which translates into exceptional care. As our patient, you will be treated with compassion and respect as a partner in your care.
