Better Balance Psychiatry

Better Balance Psychiatry in St. George, Utah offers IV ketamine and Spravato for treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, and depression with suicidal thoughts that has not responded to traditional treatments. IV ketamine targets NMDA receptors to increase glutamate and help neurons form new pathways, with infusions taking about 40 minutes under continuous monitoring and relief often felt within hours or days.

The starter program typically begins with 10 IV ketamine treatments, with a maintenance program of 6 to 18 treatments over three months for long-term improvement. Spravato esketamine nasal spray is self-administered under supervision in the certified St. George office, with many patients showing improvement within four hours.

Better Balance Psychiatry, a veteran-owned practice led by board-certified psychiatrist Dr. John Hendleman, also offers TMS therapy, medication management, an intensive outpatient program, and counseling using CBT, DBT, EMDR, and ERP for OCD. The practice is a Turnwell Mental Health Network provider.
