Where Healing
Takes Form.
Shoka Health is an anesthesiology-led ketamine and interventional mental health clinic based in Atlanta. We care for patients beyond the boundaries of conventional psychiatry, providing a full pathway of psychedelic care grounded in safety and intention.
Medicine
with presence.
Shōka Health was founded by two anesthesiologists who trained at top programs across the country and spent their careers on the demanding end of medicine — from working abroad with Doctors Without Borders to complex cardiac surgery. After years of administering ketamine in the operating room and seeing the medical literature catch up to what we were already seeing firsthand, we noticed a gap: a rapidly expanding space delivering powerful treatments without the oversight or integration support that patients deserve.
So we built something different. A practice where the medicine is taken seriously because the physicians behind it were trained to take it seriously — and where care doesn't end when the infusion does.

Ways we help you move forward.
Each treatment is physician-led and tailored to your history and goals. They can be used individually or in combination — shaped entirely around you.
If traditional treatment hasn't been enough.
Our patients often arrive after years of trying medications, therapy, or both — with limited relief. But ketamine and interventional therapies target a different pathway that focuses on the circuitry beneath the symptoms.
01
For those who have tried antidepressants with limited benefit. Ketamine works differently — and often faster.
02
Addressing the overactive nervous system at its root — through ketamine, stellate ganglion blocks, or both.
03
For veterans, first responders, and trauma survivors ready for a new approach to long-standing symptoms.
04
Care for those facing loss, profound change, and emotional strain — including postpartum depression, burnout and end-of-life distress.

We believe informed patients make better decisions — and feel safer doing it. Here are the questions we hear most.
Yes — when administered by trained physicians with proper protocols in place. Ketamine was originally developed as an anesthetic, and our background in anesthesiology means we manage it with the same rigor you'd expect in a hospital setting.
Most patients describe a gentle shift in awareness — a dreamlike state that creates space from everyday thought patterns. Our team is with you through every session to make sure you feel safe and supported.
Beyond ketamine, we offer stellate ganglion blocks (SGBs), a targeted procedure that works at the fight-or-flight system to address trauma and chronic stress symptoms. We also offer wellness infusions — including NAD+, glutathione, B vitamins, and alpha lipoic acid — designed to complement your treatment and support recovery.
The best way to find out is through a free consultation. We take time to understand your history, current medications, and goals before recommending any treatment plan.
