Athena Care

Athena Care in Nashville, Tennessee offers Spravato, IM ketamine, and TMS for adults with treatment-resistant depression and related conditions. The FDA-approved Spravato nasal spray is administered under medical supervision with a two-hour monitoring window, and intramuscular ketamine is given as a series of injections with vital sign monitoring throughout.

Ketamine acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist and is believed to prompt the brain to form new neural connections, offering rapid relief for many patients who have not responded to conventional antidepressants. Treatment may benefit treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders, bipolar depression, and OCD.

With over 20 years providing mental health services, Athena Care supervises interventional care with psychiatrists and mental health nurse practitioners. Other services on site include psychological assessments, individual and group therapy, and medication management.
