Oral Ketamine Therapy Program
You’ve done everything right. You still don’t feel like yourself.
A guided, ninety-day ketamine treatment program in Dallas for adults whose depression or anxiety hasn’t lifted the way it should. Clinically supervised, hormone-aware, and built around the daily integration work that makes change hold.
Why “nothing has worked” usually isn’t the whole story
If you’ve tried antidepressants, maybe more than one, and still don’t feel like yourself, that’s not a failing on your part. And if your mood shifted in the last few years — a flatness, an anxiety, a shorter fuse you don’t recognize — and no one connected it to the hormonal changes of midlife, you’re not imagining it.
For many of our patients, hormones are part of the picture. In perimenopause, estrogen doesn’t simply decline. It swings, sometimes wildly, for years. Estrogen helps regulate the brain systems that govern mood, sleep and anxiety. When it destabilizes, those systems destabilize with it.
You weren’t failing at treatment. You were being treated for half the problem.
That’s why we built this program inside a functional-medicine practice. We look at the whole system — mood, hormones, the metabolic picture, sleep — because they are not separate problems.
Ketamine opens the door. Your daily practices create change.
For a short period after a session, the brain is more flexible — more able to form new connections, less locked into the grooves depression and anxiety wear in over years. The window is the opportunity, not the treatment. What you do inside it decides whether anything changes for good.

What to expect, your ninety days
Week 1 · In person or virtual
Consultation and intake
A one-on-one visit with your nurse practitioner. We review your medical and mental health history, determine whether this therapy is right for you, explain how it works, and set intentions. You leave with a clear plan for your first session.
Week 1 or 2 · In our office
Your first treatment
About 50 minutes in a quiet, low-stimulation room with curated meditation music, a blindfold to deepen inward focus, and your nurse practitioner present throughout. Afterward you journal while insight is most accessible, and stay until you are medically cleared. Someone you know drives you home.
Weeks 2 – 12
Weekly treatments, at home or in clinic
You choose the setting that fits your life. At home, a trusted support person is with you for every session. In clinic, your nurse practitioner is present and someone you know drives you home.
Every four weeks
Your nurse practitioner session
Review how you are responding, adjust your dose if needed, and talk through sleep, hormones, stress, and medications. Then plan the next four weeks together.
Every day
Integration
Journaling right after each session, daily intentional meditation, and “box-breaking” — identifying and shifting habitual patterns. Consistency here is what turns experience into outcome.
Both paths are supervised. Neither is done alone.
After your first in-office treatment, you choose the setting that fits your life. Your nurse practitioner confirms you’re a good candidate for the path you choose, and you can change your mind later.
Option A
At home, with your support person
- A trusted adult is physically present for every sessionNot the first few. Every one.
- Your support person is briefed in advanceThey sign an agreement with us and know what to expect and what to do.
- No support person that day, no dose that dayWe simply reschedule.
Option B
In our Dallas clinic
- Your nurse practitioner is presentContinue weekly treatments in the office.
- Someone you know drives you home, every timeA rideshare, taxi, or car service is not acceptable.
- Same program costChoosing the clinic doesn’t change your price.
A note from our founder
“I can’t promise you a specific outcome — no one honest can. The only way to know whether it’s right for you is a real conversation.”
The point was never to sell you this program. It was to get you feeling like yourself again. If the discovery call shows it isn’t a fit, we’ll say so and point you somewhere that is.
Dr. Betty MurrayFounder, Living Well Dallas
Who this program isn’t for
Most clinics never publish this list. We’d rather tell you now than take your money.
- A history of psychosis or certain bipolar presentations
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure or significant cardiac disease
- Active substance misuse that needs addressing first
- Pregnant or trying to become pregnant
- You can’t arrange the required supervision — a support person at home, or a driver from the office
- You want a medication that works while you carry on exactly as you are
The supervision requirement most often means “not yet” rather than “not ever.” If nothing here applied to you, the only remaining question is whether you want to.
The honest questions, answered
Most people describe a dreamlike, floating hour. Thoughts loosen, feelings come up and move through. It rises, plateaus, lifts, and you come back. You are not unconscious and you do not lose yourself. Our preparation before your first dose helps the sensation arrive as something expected rather than alarming.
Your first step
Twenty minutes. One honest conversation.
The discovery call is free and isn’t a medical appointment. Our nurse practitioner asks what’s been going on, listens, and tells you honestly whether this program fits — your history, your medications, what you’ve already tried, and whether the at-home part would work for your life.
