Psychiatric services are provided by Aaron Hawkins at an outpatient practice on Airport Road in Auburn. The practice focuses on medication management and psychiatric evaluations for adults. Specific treatment modalities such as TMS, esketamine, or ketamine therapy are not detailed in available information; prospective patients should inquire directly about available services beyond standard psychiatric care.
Auburn University Medical Clinic operates on the Auburn campus at 400 Lem Morrison Drive, providing general medical services to students, faculty, and staff. The facility functions as a primary care center rather than a psychiatric specialty practice. Patients seeking TMS therapy, esketamine, or ketamine treatments for depression would need referrals to psychiatric providers in the Auburn-Opelika area or nearby Montgomery and Birmingham.
Auburn University Student Counseling & Psychological Services provides mental health support to enrolled students on the Auburn campus, located on Lem Morrison Drive. The center offers individual counseling, group therapy, and psychiatric consultations for students managing depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns during their academic careers. Services are typically limited to currently enrolled students and may include short-term therapy models designed for the university setting. Specialized treatments like TMS or ketamine therapy are not indicated in available information.
The Neurology Center of East Alabama operates a medical clinic on Champions Boulevard in Auburn, providing neurological services to patients in the East Alabama region. The practice is affiliated with East Alabama Health and focuses on neurological conditions rather than psychiatric treatment. Patients seeking TMS therapy, esketamine, or ketamine treatments for depression should confirm availability directly, as these are not standard neurology offerings.
Ketamine therapy is the broader category of clinical ketamine use for mental health conditions including treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and chronic suicidal ideation. Unlike Spravato (which is the FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray), most ketamine therapy is provided off-label using racemic ketamine — typically through IV infusion, intramuscular injection, or sublingual lozenges.
Treatment is administered in a clinical setting with continuous medical supervision. A typical IV protocol involves six infusions over two to three weeks, with each infusion lasting 40 to 60 minutes. Patients are monitored throughout for blood pressure changes, dissociative effects, and emotional response. Many clinics provide a calm, dimly lit room with eye masks and music to support a contemplative experience during dosing.
Ketamine acts on the brain's NMDA receptors and glutamate system, which is fundamentally different from how SSRIs and other traditional antidepressants work. Many patients report significant improvement within hours to days of their first session — among the fastest-acting antidepressant effects in clinical use.
Because most ketamine therapy is off-label, insurance coverage is limited and most patients pay out of pocket. Clinics in our directory range from anesthesiology-led infusion centers to integrated psychiatric practices offering ketamine alongside therapy.
