We have two convenient locations:
• Hinsdale: 211 W. Chicago Avenue, Suite 216A
• Naperville: 552 S. Washington Street, Suite 115
Both offices offer private, comfortable treatment rooms and free parking.

Your care is provided by a team of licensed medical professionals, including:

• Physicians

• Nurse Practitioners

• Physician Assistants

• Licensed Therapists (for KAP)

Each service offered at Golden Hour Wellness is overseen by the appropriate clinical provider to ensure safety, high-quality care, and a personalized treatment experience from start to finish.

During your initial consultation, you’ll meet with one of our clinicians to review your history, discuss your goals, and determine which treatment plan best fits your needs. We’ll answer all your questions so you feel fully comfortable moving forward.

Ketamine can help with a wide range of mental health and pain conditions, including:

• Major depressive disorder

• Treatment-resistant depression

• Suicidal thoughts

• Anxiety disorders

• PTSD

• OCD

• Bipolar depression

• Chronic pain (CRPS, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia)

If you’re unsure whether you’re a candidate, our clinicians can guide you during your consultation.

Ketamine acts on the NMDA receptor and stimulates glutamate, helping the brain create new neural pathways. This “neuroplasticity boost” is why ketamine can work even when traditional antidepressants have failed. Many patients describe it as a “reset” for the brain.

Infusions typically last about 45 minutes for mental health and 2–4 hours for chronic pain, depending on your individualized treatment plan. You’ll remain with a clinician throughout the entire experience.

For mental health conditions, the standard induction series includes six infusions, typically completed within 2–3 weeks for optimal, lasting results.

For chronic pain, most patients complete 3–5 infusions over approximately 1.5 weeks.

After the initial series, patients in both groups may transition to booster infusions as needed based on symptoms and clinical response.

Most patients describe the experience as:

• Relaxing, dreamlike, or mildly dissociative

• Feeling “lighter,” “floaty,” or deeply introspective

• A sense of calm or emotional release

You remain aware, and the experience is temporary. Many patients say it is peaceful and meaningful.

Yes. When administered by trained medical professionals, ketamine is considered very safe. It has been used in hospitals and operating rooms for over 50 years. At Golden Hour Wellness, all infusions are performed by licensed clinicians under physician oversight.

You will be awake but deeply relaxed. Ketamine does not cause you to lose consciousness. Your clinician is by your side at all times.

No. When used in a controlled medical setting at low therapeutic doses, ketamine is not addictive. The risk of dependence is extremely low.

Many patients experience lasting relief and continued improvement well beyond their initial treatment series. Periodic booster infusions are available every few months to help maintain and extend results over time.

Boosters are single infusions used to maintain results after your initial series. They are flexible and based on how you’re feeling. Some patients need boosters every few months, while others only need them occasionally.

Yes. You must have someone drive you home. You cannot drive, operate heavy machinery, or work for the rest of the day.

Most patients prefer to rest for the remainder of the day. You’ll feel completely back to normal by the next morning.

Common side effects may include mild dizziness, nausea, or dissociation (a feeling of being detached from reality), but these effects are typically short-lived and subside after the infusion is complete. Our team will discuss potential side effects with you before your treatment begins. If necessary, we can administer medications beforehand to help alleviate some of these minor side effects.

Traditional therapy relies on verbal communication and cognitive techniques, while KAP uses the therapeutic benefits of ketamine to enhance emotional processing and breakthrough healing. Ketamine can help patients access deeper layers of their consciousness, facilitating a more profound therapeutic experience.

The number of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) sessions depends on your individual needs, goals, and how you respond to treatment. Your therapist will work with you to determine the most appropriate frequency and duration to support your progress.
