HAVENNEXUS A Haven of Hope

Psychiatry vs. Psychotherapy -
What's the Difference?

Psychiatry and psychotherapy both support mental health, but they focus on different parts of care:

Psychiatry is medical care for mental health. Psychiatric providers (like nurse practitioners and psychiatrists) can diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, and monitor how those medications are working to help you feel better.

Psychotherapy (therapy or counseling) focuses on talking through thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with a licensed therapist. It helps build coping skills, process life experiences, and support emotional growth.

How HavenNexus Can Help

At HavenNexus Advanced Psychiatry and TMS, we specialize in psychiatric care and medication management. This means we focus on:

  • Accurate diagnosis
  • Personalized medication treatment plans
  • Advanced therapies like TMS, Spravato, and IV ketamine

We do not provide psychotherapy, but we’re happy to refer you to trusted therapists so you can have a well-rounded care team.

IV KETAMINE THERAPY

A Different Approach to Chronic Pain & Mental Health

IV ketamine is an advanced treatment option being studied and used for certain chronic pain and treatment-resistant mental health conditions. By influencing important signaling pathways in the brain and nervous system, ketamine may help interrupt patterns involved in persistent pain, mood symptoms, and emotional distress.

CHRONIC PAIN SUPPORT

When Pain Keeps Going, Treatment May Need a Different Approach.

Chronic pain can involve more than an injured joint, muscle, or nerve. Over time, the nervous system itself may become more sensitive and continue sending amplified pain signals.

Ketamine interacts with NMDA and glutamate pathways that play a role in pain signaling and central sensitization. For selected patients, this may help reduce abnormal pain processing when conventional treatments have not provided enough relief.

CHRONIC PAIN CONDITIONS

Conditions IV Ketamine May Help Support

Our clinical team evaluates each patient individually to determine whether IV ketamine may be appropriate as part of a personalized chronic pain treatment plan.

01
✦
CHRONIC PAIN

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome CRPS

CRPS can cause severe burning, sensitivity, swelling, and pain that feels much greater than the original injury. Ketamine may help by blocking excessive NMDA-receptor activity involved in amplified pain signaling between the brain and spinal cord.

Its effects on glutamate signaling and neuroplasticity may also help the nervous system regulate pain signals more effectively over time.

02
✦
CHRONIC PAIN

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is associated with widespread pain, fatigue, tenderness, and an overly sensitive pain-processing system. This heightened response is often referred to as central sensitization.

By reducing NMDA-receptor activity, low-dose IV ketamine may help calm overactive pain pathways and reduce pain intensity in selected patients who have not responded adequately to standard treatments.

03
✦
HEADACHE & PAIN

Chronic Migraine

For people living with difficult-to-manage or persistent migraines, low-dose ketamine is being explored as another option when standard therapies have not provided sufficient relief.

Its effects on glutamate and pain-processing pathways may help interrupt signals involved in severe or recurring migraine pain. Treatment suitability depends on a clinical evaluation.

04
✦
NERVE PAIN

Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain may feel like burning, tingling, electric shocks, numbness, or extreme sensitivity. In these conditions, nerve pathways can become overactive and continue producing pain signals.

Ketamine may help interrupt this excessive NMDA signaling and reduce central sensitization, potentially helping the nervous system respond less intensely to painful stimulation.

HOW IV KETAMINE MAY HELP

Targeting Pain Signaling Differently

01

NMDA Receptors

Ketamine blocks NMDA receptor activity, a pathway involved in transmitting and amplifying certain pain signals.

02

Glutamate Signaling

Ketamine changes glutamate activity, which can influence how brain cells communicate and process pain and mood.

03

Central Sensitization

It may help calm an overly reactive nervous system in which normal sensations are interpreted as stronger or more painful.

04

Neuroplasticity

Ketamine-related changes in glutamate pathways may support the brain’s ability to form and strengthen healthier neural connections.

ADDITIONAL CLINICAL USES

Mental Health Conditions That May Be Considered

IV ketamine is also being used or studied in selected patients with certain treatment-resistant psychiatric conditions. These uses require careful evaluation and ongoing clinical supervision.

01 Treatment-Resistant Depression +

Ketamine works through glutamate-related pathways rather than relying only on the serotonin pathways targeted by many traditional antidepressants. For some patients with difficult-to-treat depression, this different mechanism may support faster changes in mood and brain connectivity.

02 Treatment-Resistant Anxiety +

Low-dose IV ketamine is being explored for patients whose anxiety symptoms remain significant despite therapy or medication. Its effects on glutamate signaling may influence brain networks involved in emotional regulation, worry, fear, and stress responses.

03 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder +

Ketamine acts on NMDA and glutamate pathways involved in mood, memory, and emotional processing. For selected patients with PTSD, these effects may help interrupt rigid trauma-related patterns and support healthier emotional regulation.

04 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder +

Research is examining ketamine’s influence on glutamate signaling in brain circuits associated with intrusive thoughts and compulsive behavior. Some patients may experience changes in the intensity of obsessive or repetitive symptoms.

05 Postpartum Depression +

Ketamine is being explored as an option for certain patients experiencing significant depressive symptoms after childbirth, particularly when standard approaches have not been sufficient. Treatment requires individualized medical evaluation, including consideration of postpartum and breastfeeding needs.

06 Bipolar Depression +

In carefully selected patients with bipolar depression, ketamine may be considered under close psychiatric supervision. Because bipolar disorder can include manic or hypomanic episodes, appropriate screening and ongoing monitoring are especially important.

07 Substance-Use Recovery Support +

Research is studying ketamine’s effects on reward, memory, behavior, and neuroplasticity in substance-use disorders. When appropriate, it may be considered as part of a broader treatment plan alongside behavioral therapy and addiction-focused support. It is not a stand-alone detoxification treatment.
