Find Relief. Restore Balance. Reclaim Your Life.
Robert martinez fnp-bc, Kyle Rodgers c-rna, and Adam Kynaston c-rna
have years of experience administering ketamine safely and effectively.
At The Bosque Clinic, we offer IV ketamine therapy as a powerful, evidence-based option for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Ketamine works differently than traditional medications—rapidly improving symptoms by repairing neural pathways and supporting long-term emotional healing.
A Science-Backed, Life-Changing Option
Numerous clinical studies have shown that ketamine can reduce depressive symptoms in up to 70% of patients, especially those who haven’t found relief through other means. It also works rapidly to relieve acute suicidal ideation, which is why it’s being used in emergency and outpatient settings across the country.

we carefully evaluate your mental health history, treatment background, and goals before starting therapy.

Depression isn’t just a chemical imbalance.
It’s often a result of disrupted connections in the brain—especially in areas that control mood, emotion, and decision-making. That’s why some people don’t respond to typical antidepressants. They might increase serotonin or dopamine, but they don’t repair the actual pathways that help your brain function in a healthy, connected way.
Ketamine works differently—and more directly.
When given through an IV in small, controlled doses, ketamine stimulates a brain chemical called glutamate. Glutamate is responsible for helping brain cells communicate with each other. This boost in glutamate triggers a process called synaptogenesis, which means your brain starts growing new connections and rebuilding damaged ones—quickly.
Why This Matters?
In people with major depressive disorder (MDD) or treatment-resistant depression, key areas of the brain—like the prefrontal cortex—can become less active and disconnected. This contributes to symptoms like:
And because ketamine works through a different pathway than traditional antidepressants, it’s effective even when SSRIs or mood stabilizers have failed.

- Lack of motivation or pleasure
- Feeling emotionally “flat” or numb
- Constant fatigue or brain fog
- Negative thought loops
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Suicidal thoughts
- Ketamine helps reverse this. Within hours to days, many patients experience:
- Improved mood and energy
- Mental clarity and motivation
- Relief from heavy or dark thoughts
- Restored sense of emotional balance

Anxiety isn’t just feeling nervous—it’s a constant state of worry, fear, or dread
All of these feelings can take over your thoughts, tighten your chest, disrupt your sleep, and make it hard to function day-to-day. When anxiety becomes chronic, it changes the way your brain reacts to stress and makes it harder to feel calm—even in safe situations.
IV ketamine therapy offers a new, science-backed way to break that cycle.
Ketamine affects the brain’s glutamate system, which plays a major role in how we process fear, memory, and emotions. When ketamine is given through a slow IV infusion, it helps reset overactive stress circuits and allows your brain to form new, healthier patterns of thought and response.
Why This Helps with Anxiety
People with anxiety often get stuck in repetitive, fear-based thinking loops—and the brain gets “wired” to stay on high alert. Over time, this can cause:
Racing or looping thoughts
Panic attacks or chest tightness
Trouble sleeping or relaxing
Constant restlessness
Avoidance of social or everyday situations
Feeling like your brain won’t “turn off”
Ketamine interrupts these patterns by creating new neural pathways and reducing activity in parts of the brain responsible for fear and overthinking—like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex.
Many patients begin to feel:
Calmer and more emotionally balanced
Clearer in their thinking
Less reactive to stress triggers
More present and in control
And the best part? These changes can begin within 24 to 72 hours after your first infusion.
When Other Anxiety Treatments Aren’t Enough
Traditional anxiety medications like SSRIs or benzodiazepines can take weeks to work—or come with side effects like emotional numbing or dependency. Ketamine works differently, and it can offer relief even when other treatments haven’t helped.

Living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
This means your brain is stuck in survival mode—even long after the trauma has passed. Flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, and constant fear can interfere with your relationships, your sleep, your peace, and your ability to feel safe in your own body.
IV ketamine therapy as a powerful treatment option for those struggling with PTSD
Why Ketamine Is Different for PTSD
Most medications for PTSD work slowly and may only treat certain symptoms. Ketamine works differently—at the root level.
When given through a gentle IV infusion, ketamine affects the glutamate system, which helps the brain form new connections and process emotional experiences more effectively.
For patients with PTSD, this means that ketamine can:
Interrupt traumatic memory loops
Reduce hyperarousal and fear responses
Lower emotional reactivity
Improve mood, focus, and sleep
Help you reconnect to the present moment
It doesn’t erase memories—but it can help your brain respond to them differently, giving you space to heal without feeling overwhelmed.
Who Can Benefit from Ketamine for PTSD?
Relive traumatic experiences through flashbacks or nightmares
Feel constantly “on edge” or emotionally numb
Have tried talk therapy or medications without full relief
Struggle with military trauma, abuse, medical trauma, or complex PTSD
Experience panic, avoidance, or deep emotional disconnection
Because ketamine supports the brain’s ability to form new patterns, it can enhance and accelerate the benefits of traditional therapy when used together.
