At the forefront of psychiatric treatment innovation in South Windsor, Connecticut, is the noted clinic of Dr. Lori Calabrese. With over two decades of experience in dealing with diverse mental health disorders, Dr. Calabrese is renowned for making leaps in the availability and integration of ketamine infusions and esketamine therapy in her practice — a pioneering feat in Connecticut. Her extensive research and clinical work, particularly on the impact of IV ketamine therapy on patients grappling with suicidality, are distinguished contributions to the International Journal of Psychology. Currently, she's conducting ground-breaking trials to evaluate the efficacy of ketamine infusions for patients suffering from anorexia.

From the moment you schedule your consultation, you plunge into an immersive, comprehensive assessment process tailored to ensure a thorough understanding of your unique condition. This process includes providing in-depth information about your symptoms, prior treatment, medical issues, and family psychiatric history. Particularly, new patients eyeing ketamine consultation and infusions are expected to complete and submit the Ketamine New Patient History form. If you are currently under other healthcare professionals' care, they will be requested to furnish a referral form. Following an extensive interview, Dr. Calabrese will formulate a custom treatment blueprint. This could include genetic testing to assess if you're a rapid ketamine responder, guidelines for lifestyle changes, and possible recommendations for medication, TMS or IV Ketamine therapy. For those approved for ketamine consultations and treatments, your first IV infusion could occur immediately after your consultation. Keep in mind, you will be required to follow pre and post-treatment guidelines for a seamless experience.
