A Holistic, Science-Based Approach to Depression, Anxiety, Trauma & More
Stillpoint Integrative Psychiatry • Harrisonburg, VA • Lynchburg, VA • Telehealth Across Virginia
A New Path When Nothing Else Works
For many people in Virginia, depression and anxiety don’t fully respond to traditional treatments.
If you’ve tried multiple medications, therapy, lifestyle changes—or
you’re simply tired of feeling stuck—ketamine therapy may offer a new direction.
At Stillpoint Integrative Psychiatry, we provide safe, personalized, and integrative ketamine treatment through both:
- In-Office Ketamine Nasal Spray (Harrisonburg and Lynchburg)
- At-Home Ketamine Therapy (Virginia statewide)
Our approach is grounded in clinical expertise, the Stillpoint Integrative Method, and a commitment to treating the whole person—mind and body together.
What Ketamine Treats
Ketamine can support healing in conditions such as:
- Treatment-resistant depression
- Persistent anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- OCD and rumination
- Burnout, emotional numbness, and stress disorders
- Chronic dysthymia (“long-term, low-grade depression”)
- Situational depression or life-transition overwhelm
- Existential distress or loss of meaning
Many patients benefit even if they continue other treatments—or if nothing else has helped.
Why Ketamine Works When Other Treatments Don’t
Unlike traditional antidepressants that slowly adjust neurotransmitters, ketamine:
1. Works rapidly—often within hours
Ketamine activates glutamate pathways and increases synaptic plasticity, helping the brain “reconnect” where depression has caused rigidity.
2. Supports emotional processing
Many patients describe ketamine sessions as helping them see problems differently, gain clarity, or reconnect with hope.
3. Enhances therapy and lifestyle change
Ketamine can “unfreeze” mental patterns, making therapy and integrative strategies far more effective.
This aligns directly with the Stillpoint Integrative Method, which blends:
- Mind-body interconnection
- Restorative physiology
- Mental causation & self-agency
- Strategic medication use
- Holistic integration

The Stillpoint Dosing Philosophy
Ketamine treatment should be measured, intentional, and client-centered—not rushed or formulaic.
Your dosing strategy includes:
• Starting low, observing carefully
We begin with a gentle, sub-perceptual or mildly perceptual dose to assess tolerance.
• Adjusting with precision
Dosing increases only when needed, guided by symptom tracking, session experience, and physiological readiness.
• Maintaining stability, not chasing intensity
Our goal is not “strong trips”—it is consistent, safe therapeutic outcomes.
• Integrating insights into daily life
Ketamine is a catalyst; the healing happens in your life between sessions.
