Calming the Mind. Restoring Balance.
Anxiety can take many forms — constant worrying, racing thoughts, sleepless nights, or that unshakable sense of dread that something’s wrong. For many people, anxiety becomes a daily battle that drains energy, focus, and joy from life.
At Crestline Health and Wellness, we understand how exhausting anxiety can be — especially when traditional treatments haven’t brought relief. Our ketamine infusion therapy offers a promising new option for people with treatment-resistant anxiety, helping restore calm and clarity where other approaches may have fallen short.

A New Approach to Anxiety Relief
Traditional treatments for anxiety — such as medications and talk therapy — can take weeks or months to show results, and some patients never experience the relief they hope for. Many prescription medications can also cause unwanted side effects like fatigue, dizziness, or dependency.
Ketamine works differently. Acting on the brain’s glutamate system, ketamine helps reset and strengthen neural pathways that regulate mood and stress responses. Research from the National Institutes of Health, Yale University, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine has demonstrated ketamine’s rapid and significant effects in reducing anxiety symptoms — even in individuals who have not responded to other therapies.
Most patients begin to notice improvement around their third or fourth infusion infusion, reporting calmer thoughts, improved focus, and greater emotional resilience.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each infusion is designed to be a calm, controlled, and restorative experience.
- Duration: Each session lasts approximately 2 hours, including infusion and recovery time.
- Dosage: Dosing is evidenced-based and patient-centered. Doses are calculated individually based on weight and titrated to address your unique symptoms. Low-dose ketamine infusions typically start at 0.5 mg/kg. The infusions for Anxiety are precisely 40 minutes, We use syringe infusion pumps to deliver the medication precisely following NIH guidelines and under continuous physician supervision. The infusion is always followed by a recovery period where we continuously monitor your vital signs.
- Experience: Ketamine creates a dreamlike sensation of disconnecting the body and mind without reducing consciousness. Patients report a deep state of relaxation, which may be described as “floating.” Some experience empathy for oneself and others, as well as clarity to see beyond traumatic events or destructive thought patterns. Any mild side effects — such as light and sound sensitivity — fade within minutes after treatment.
- Safety: Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Every infusion is performed by Dr. Amy in accordance with the Alabama Medical Board. Continuous monitoring and specialized equipment ensure each session is safe and effective. Our entire clinical team is ACLS certified.
Your Personalized Care Plan
Relief from anxiety is not a one-time event — it’s a process. Our compassionate team works with each patient to create a personalized treatment plan designed for lasting change.
- Initial Series: Most patients begin with a series of six to eight infusions over three to four weeks, depending upon the severity of your symptoms. Each session builds on the last to strengthen and prolong symptom relief.
- Maintenance Treatments: The maintenance dosing schedule looks different for each patient, as it is tailored to meet your individual needs. The frequency of maintenance dosing is determined collaboratively between you, Dr. Amy, your psychiatrist, and your therapist. Typically, patients return every three to six weeks for one maintenance session in order to sustain their relief of symptoms.
- Collaborative Support: We partner closely with each patient and their mental health providers to ensure the best possible outcomes, continually adjusting as needed.
