Walnut Creek Psychiatry

Walnut Creek Psychiatry in Ames, Iowa provides IV ketamine infusion treatment and Spravato (esketamine) for adults who have not found relief from traditional medications. These therapies may help with treatment-resistant depression, major depressive disorder, depression with suicidal thoughts, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD.

Ketamine works by targeting glutamate to support new neural connections, with many patients noticing improvement after only one or two treatments. Infusions are closely supervised by experienced nursing staff, CRNAs, and psychiatric providers in a calm, comfortable environment.

Spravato, the only nasal spray indicated for treatment-resistant depression, is administered in private rooms with quality care from registered nurses. The Ames team builds a personalized plan and encourages patients to continue working with their therapist or psychiatrist throughout treatment.
