Zen Psychiatric Services

Zen Psychiatric Services in Arden, North Carolina, the practice's Asheville-area office, is a REMS-certified Spravato treatment center serving western North Carolina. The team offers Spravato intranasal esketamine and intramuscular ketamine to help treat major depression, PTSD, and related anxiety conditions through newly approved medications and methods in psychiatry.

Founded by board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Anthony A. Frasca, the practice administers Spravato under REMS guidelines and provides fast-acting IM ketamine injections, with many patients noticing results within 24 hours in a private, comfortable setting.

All patients must provide a referral from a primary care provider or outpatient psychiatrist before consultation and treatment. Spravato is accepted by most major commercial insurance, and financial assistance programs are available to make treatment accessible for those who qualify.
