“Ketamine affects glutamate signaling, which causes the brain to produce neural ‘fertilizers’ called BDNF—brain-derived neurotrophic factor. These fertilizers help neurons grow more connections.”

Personalized Treatment

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

At True North Psychiatry, KAP is offered in a doctor-led, highly personalized setting. Every ketamine journey is thoughtfully prepared, clinically safe, and deeply integrated into your therapeutic plan.

We don’t offer one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, Dr. Boyd combines evidence-based protocols with intuitive care to ensure each experience leads to real, lasting transformation.

Ketamine is supported by leading institutions including Yale, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins for its rapid-acting effects on depression, trauma, and suicidality.
