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.

Starting Spravato in NYC means about eight clinic visits in your first month, each with at least two hours of rest and observation in the clinic. The first questions most people have are practical: how often to go, how to handle work, and how to get […]
Last updated: October 2026. Reviewed by Dr. Steven Radowitz. Every October, the posts come back: reach out, talk to someone, get help.

By Richard Meloff, President of Nushama Intro Last week I joined a small roundtable of Canadian and Israeli researchers and clinicians, hosted ahead of a larger evening forum. The goal was simple: put people working on the same hard problems in one room and see where their work overlaps. There were maybe a dozen of […]
Medically reviewed by Dr.Steven Radowitz · Last updated [October 5th, 2026] You have read enough to think TMS might help your teenager. Then you see the schedule: five days a week for six to nine weeks, and your mind goes straight to first period, the 6 train, and whether soccer practice survives. The first question […]
Medically reviewed by Dr. Steven Radowitz A psychiatrist or therapist mentions, almost in passing, that “TMS might be worth considering.” You leave with two questions: could this help your teen, and how do you get them there safely?

You finished your initial series of ketamine treatments and you’re feeling better. Maybe much better. Then a question starts to creep in: What happens if it fades? When should I come back? Are there reasons I shouldn’t? Booster sessions (sometimes called maintenance treatments) are single sessions given after your initial series to help keep the […]
Medically reviewed by Dr. Steven Radowitz You may have seen one-day TMS for teenagers described as a faster way out of depression. If your child has struggled for months and already tried medication, you want relief soon, and you want it to be safe. TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, sends magnetic pulses through a coil […]
Thoughts of suicide can feel heavy and urgent. Traditional antidepressants often take weeks to work, and that’s a long time to wait when you’re struggling. Ketamine works differently.
