As the field of psychedelic therapy continues to gain traction, it is becoming increasingly important for practitioners to ensure their treatments are safe and effective.
Depression can be treated in a number of ways. The traditional SSRI treatment is effective for some, but not for everyone. Studies on ketamine have shown that it is very helpful with depression, especially when other treatments have not been able to help as much.
The number of options for ketamine-assisted therapy is growing quickly, and you may be wondering how to choose the one that is right for you. Nushama happens to be quite different from most clinics—in fact, we don’t even call ourselves a “clinic,” and here are the reasons why.

Postpartum depression (PPD) can make the early weeks of motherhood feel impossibly heavy—and when standard antidepressants take four to six weeks to work, many new mothers need faster options. IV ketamine and esketamine (Spravato) may offer measurable symptom relief within hours to days, rather than weeks, making them worth exploring when conventional treatments haven’t been […]
For a long time, the goal was just to get through the day. Then, slowly, sometimes imperceptibly, the goal changes. You start to wonder what’s actually possible. Whether the version of you that existed before depression is still in there, or whether what’s coming is something new entirely. If you’re somewhere in that arc, recovering […]
Imagine waking up on a Tuesday and noticing, before your feet hit the floor, that something has shifted. The weight is still there, but it’s lighter than yesterday. The day ahead feels possible in a way it hasn’t for months. Your morning coffee tastes like something again. You’re present at dinner with your family, not […]
One Day Isn’t the Whole Story. Ninety Days Is. You’ve probably read about One-Day TMS: Nushama’s same-day application of accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS), which compresses an entire course of brain stimulation into a single visit. It’s an applied use of the same accelerated iTBS science explored in protocols like SAINT/SNT, scheduled in a single […]
Every May, the awareness campaigns arrive on schedule. The green ribbons. The social media graphics. The wellness emails from HR. Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed since Mental Health America founded it in 1949, and the 2026 theme, “More Good Days, Together,” is a beautiful idea worth taking seriously. But it raises a quiet […]
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD)—depression that hasn’t improved after trying at least two antidepressant medications at adequate doses—affects roughly 30% of people living with major depressive disorder, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. If you’re searching for a Spravato provider in Manhattan, you’ve likely already walked a long road of medications that didn’t deliver lasting relief. Here’s what […]
If you have been taking antidepressants for months (or years) without meaningful relief, you are not alone, and it is not your fault. Roughly one in three adults with depression does not respond adequately to two or more standard antidepressant trials, a condition clinicians call treatment-resistant depression, or TRD. For those people, ketamine therapy has […]
Set and setting: the ketamine therapy environment benefit The environment where you receive ketamine therapy is as important as the medicine itself—research now confirms that physical space, sensory inputs, and therapeutic presence are active treatment variables, not optional amenities. Set and setting, a term borrowed from early psychedelic research, refers to your internal mindset (set) […]
You can manage feeling low. What’s harder to manage is lying awake at 4 AM, losing your place in a 30-minute meeting for the third time, or staring at an email for 20 minutes because you can’t decide how to respond. For a lot of people living with depression, these aren’t side effects of the […]
If you’ve tried two, three, maybe four antidepressants and none of them got you all the way better, you already know what that feels like. You didn’t do anything wrong. You took the medication, you showed up for therapy, you waited the weeks everyone said to wait. The depression is still there. Here’s the part […]
