IV ketamine therapy in a private Los Angeles practice — a licensed provider evaluates your response before and after every infusion, adjusting your treatment in real time.
Schedule a consultation
IV ketamine infusions, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and IV wellness — each tailored to where you are right now.
A standard series of six subanesthetic infusions over two to three weeks, overseen by Dr. Christa Riley, board-certified anesthesiologist. Your PA meets with you before and after every session, adjusting dosing, duration, and supportive therapies based on your response.
Bring your existing therapist to the session, or we'll connect you with one from our referral network. No in-house upsell, no added cost for the therapy component. Your mental health work and your infusion stay integrated from day one.
NAD+, Myers' Cocktail, glutathione, and other IV wellness infusions administered by our clinical team. Available as a standalone service or alongside your ketamine protocol to support energy, recovery, and overall cellular health.
IV ketamine for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain is an off-label use in the United States. Only Spravato (esketamine nasal spray) is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression.
Dr. Christa Riley is a board-certified anesthesiologist and military veteran who served in Afghanistan. Her experience performing nerve blocks and anesthesia on wounded service members shaped a firsthand understanding of trauma, resilience, and the lasting effects of high-stress on the body and mind. She brings that perspective to every patient at Phos.
Healing isn't one-size-fits-all. Your protocol should reflect how you're actually responding, not what worked for someone else.
A short consultation to understand your history, walk through candidacy, and answer your questions. If you're a fit, we'll get you scheduled. If not, we'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
Before your first infusion, your PA reviews your medical history, current medications, and goals. This is where your protocol is set, including dosing, session duration, and any supportive therapies like NAD+ or magnesium.
Six sessions over two to three weeks, administered in our Westwood clinic under medical supervision. Your PA checks in before and after every infusion, adjusting your protocol based on how you're responding, not a fixed template.
After your series, your PA discusses your outcomes and next steps. Whether that's maintenance sessions, connecting with a therapist, or both, you leave with a clear plan rather than a handoff.
Our clinic is on the third floor of 1762 Westwood Blvd, a quiet suite designed for medical privacy and patient comfort. No waiting room full of strangers. No sterile hospital feel. Just a calm, unhurried space where you can arrive, settle in, and focus entirely on your session.
1762 Westwood Blvd, Ste 320
Every session includes PA consultation before and after, plus any supportive therapies adjusted to your protocol. No surprise line items.

“It felt like time slowed down. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more in touch with what matters.”
Mona S.
“Every part of the retreat felt intentional — from the silence to the tea. It gave me space to breathe and reset.”
Sophia Lee
“It wasn't just a retreat. It was a return — to nature, to stillness, to myself. I'm carrying that feeling with me.”
Olivia S.
“I didn't expect something so powerful. The forest session helped me pause and truly reconnect.”

IV ketamine blocks NMDA glutamate receptors, triggering rapid increases in BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and new synaptic connections in the prefrontal cortex. Unlike SSRIs, which modulate serotonin over weeks, ketamine's antidepressant effect often appears within hours to days. A standard initial series is six infusions over two to three weeks.
Adults with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, or chronic pain who haven't found adequate relief from conventional treatments. We use a pre-screening process. People are generally not candidates if they have schizophrenia, active psychosis, bipolar mania, uncontrolled cardiovascular disease or hypertension, or pregnancy. Your candidacy will be confirmed at your initial consultation.
Most patients start with six infusions over two to three weeks. After that, your PA reviews your response and discusses maintenance timing based on how you're doing, not a preset schedule.
Your PA meets with you first to confirm your protocol for the session. The infusion itself typically runs 40 to 60 minutes. You'll experience a transient dissociative state. Afterward, your PA checks in to discuss your experience and note any adjustments for your next visit. You'll need a driver to take you home.
IV ketamine for mood disorders is an off-label use and is not covered by most insurance plans. It's cash-pay. HSA and FSA funds are eligible. Spravato (esketamine nasal spray), the FDA-approved version for treatment-resistant depression, will be available at our clinic soon and is covered by many insurance plans.
At most clinics, you'll see a nurse during your infusions and a physician only periodically. Here, a licensed PA meets with you before and after every single infusion, actively adjusting your dosing, duration, and supportive therapies each visit. Led by Dr. Christa Riley, board-certified anesthesiologist and military veteran, with the highest published success rate in the LA market.
