PTSD Treatment
Ketamine Assisted Therapy with Injections for PTSD in Johns Creek
PTSD Treatment
PTSD is more than just feeling stressed after a difficult event. While some emotional distress after trauma is normal, daily PTSD symptoms can disrupt your quality of life, relationships, work, and sense of safety.
Stephanie Nnamchi, NP, and the mental health team at Vigor Wellness Space in Johns Creek, Georgia, have the expertise to treat PTSD and trauma-related disorders.
At Vigor Wellness Space, we offer Ketamine-Assisted Therapy using intramuscular injections as a powerful treatment option for individuals living with PTSD, particularly when traditional therapies and medications have not provided enough relief.
How Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Helps Treat PTSD
Ketamine works differently from conventional PTSD treatments. It rapidly promotes neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire and form new connections, while helping reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms.
Rapid Symptom Reduction
Many patients report decreases in flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and hypervigilance within days of starting treatment.
Less Numbness and Avoidance
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy can help restore a sense of safety, emotional presence, and connection.
Depression and Anxiety Relief
Because PTSD often overlaps with mood symptoms, ketamine may also improve co-occurring depression and anxiety.
Easier Trauma Processing
Ketamine’s calming effects may create a window to process traumatic memories with less overwhelm and emotional flooding.
Improved Sleep
Better rest and reduced hyperarousal may support daily life, emotional regulation, and long-term healing.
Support for Deeper Healing
A structured treatment series can help support lasting relief and improve overall quality of life.

What the Research Shows
Clinical studies and real-world outcomes have shown that ketamine can produce fast, meaningful improvements in PTSD symptoms, often when other treatments have failed. Many patients experience lasting benefits after a short series of sessions, with reduced symptom severity and improved quality of life. It is especially promising for treatment-resistant PTSD and for veterans, first responders, and trauma survivors.
