Most Keller patients who ask us about ketamine have already tried two or more antidepressants without the change they hoped for. If that matches your experience, ketamine therapy is one of the options our physicians can review with you at our Southlake office, reached by heading east on Keller Parkway until it becomes Southlake Boulevard. Treatment happens in person, under medical supervision, and it always starts with a physician’s evaluation.
Why Keller Patients Ask About Ketamine Therapy
At Ventana Mental Health, ketamine is prescribed off-label for depression and anxiety disorders. It is not FDA-approved for depression or related conditions, and we tell every patient that before treatment goes any further. Many patients reach us through a referral from a therapist or primary care doctor, or after a long run of medication changes that never worked. Dr. Jorge Corona, a board-certified physician who focuses on treatment-resistant depression, directs ketamine treatment at our Southlake location.
What We Handle for Patients Across Keller
Ketamine at our practice sits inside a wider treatment plan, with coordinated therapy available, rather than standing alone. The sublingual ketamine treatment we provide dissolves as a tablet under the tongue instead of running through an IV line, which keeps the cost lower for patients paying out of pocket. Ketamine is self-pay at our practice, and you can ask about the cost on the screening call before you book anything.
How We Work With Patients From This Part of Tarrant County
Every prescriber at our practice is a board-certified physician, and no nurse practitioner writes prescriptions here. Your evaluation covers which antidepressants you have taken, at what dose, and for how long, because that history decides whether ketamine makes sense or whether another route fits better. For some patients, that route is Spravato in Southlake, an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray that most major insurance plans cover once medical criteria are met.
What to Expect When You Book
A short screening call, usually the same or next business day, matches you with a physician. Your initial appointment with the physician can happen by video, and every ketamine session takes place at our Southlake office, where our team monitors you during and after the dose. Plan for someone to drive you back to Keller afterward. Weekday appointments run from 8 AM to 7 PM, and Saturday hours from 11 AM to 6 PM help patients who work during the week.
About Keller
Keller sits directly west of Southlake, with neighborhoods spread along US 377, Rufe Snow Drive, and Keller Parkway. For our patients, that layout means a treatment day usually involves one drive east and a driver who can wait or come back for the return trip. Routine follow-ups that do not involve a dose can often move to secure video, which saves Keller patients the drive on weeks when nothing needs to happen in person.

What Patients Tell Us
Patients who write about our physicians come back to one theme more than any other: they felt listened to, and their appointments did not feel rushed. For someone weighing ketamine after several medications that failed, that time counts. You can go through your full history and ask every question you have before anything new is prescribed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Do Follow-Up Appointments From Keller by Video?
➢ Yes, for visits that do not involve a dose. Medication check-ins and many follow-ups work well by secure video. Ketamine sessions themselves must happen in person at our Southlake office.
Do I Need Someone to Drive Me Home to Keller After a Session?
➢ Yes. You should not drive yourself after a ketamine session, so arrange a ride before your appointment day.
