Complementary Psychiatric Treatments
IV Ketamine Therapy
Intravenous (IV) ketamine therapy is another powerful option for treatment-resistant conditions. Administered directly into the bloodstream under medical supervision, it can produce rapid and significant improvements in mood and depressive symptoms. This treatment modulates the brain’s glutamate system, similar to SPRAVATO®.
IM Ketamine Therapy
Intramuscular (IM) ketamine therapy offers a different administration route for ketamine’s therapeutic benefits. This method can also provide rapid relief for severe depression. Our team will help determine if IM or another form of ketamine therapy is right for you.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is an effective, FDA-approved treatment for depression, especially for those who have not found success with medication. TMS is a medication-free option that targets specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
Medication Management
Effective medication management is a cornerstone of successful psychiatric care. Our specialists work closely with you to find the right medication and dosage, monitoring your progress and making adjustments as needed. We ensure your treatment plan, which may include SPRAVATO® alongside an oral antidepressant, is optimized for your well-being.

Why Choose Vortex?
How does SPRAVATO® work differently from other antidepressants?
Unlike traditional antidepressants that primarily target serotonin or norepinephrine, SPRAVATO® works on the brain’s glutamate system. This mechanism helps restore neural connections, often resulting in a much faster improvement in depressive symptoms for eligible patients.
Who is a candidate for SPRAVATO® treatment?
A candidate for SPRAVATO® is an adult diagnosed with either treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior (MDSI). For TRD, you must have tried at least two other oral antidepressants without sufficient improvement. Our team at Vortex Psychiatry will conduct a full evaluation to confirm eligibility.
What does a SPRAVATO® treatment session involve?
SPRAVATO® is a nasal spray you will self-administer in our Danville office, a short drive from Dublin, under professional supervision. Following administration, you will rest comfortably in our clinic for a monitoring period of at least two hours to ensure your safety as we monitor for any side effects.
How quickly might I see results with SPRAVATO®?
One of the key benefits of SPRAVATO® is its potential for rapid action. While individual results vary, some patients report feeling an improvement in their depressive symptoms within hours to days of their first few treatments, rather than the weeks or months associated with oral antidepressants.
Patient Experiences
“After years of struggling and feeling like just another number, finding Dr. Ibrahimi was a turning point. He truly listens. For the first time, my treatment plan feels collaborative and tailored just for me. The medication management has been life-changing, and I finally feel like myself again.”
“I was losing hope after trying so many different treatments for my depression. Dr. Ibrahimi suggested TMS therapy, and it has been nothing short of a miracle. The fog has lifted, and I’m engaging with my life and family in a way I didn’t think was possible anymore. I am so grateful for the advanced care options at Vortex Psychiatry.”
“Navigating a workers’ compensation case was incredibly stressful, and the emotional toll was immense. Dr. Ibrahimi’s expertise and compassionate approach were invaluable. He not only provided effective psychiatric care but also understood the complexities of my situation. I felt supported on all fronts.”
