You’ve tried the antidepressants—SSRIs, SNRIs, atypicals. You’ve engaged in therapy—CBT, DBT, perhaps EMDR. Yet the struggles persist. This isn’t uncommon, and it isn’t your fault.
This is where interventional psychiatry begins. At Krasner Institute, we use FDA-approved brain stimulation, breakthrough ketamine treatments, and sophisticated approaches that offer evidence-based interventions succeeding where conventional methods have failed. Both treatments are delivered by experienced psychiatrists within our Assess. Treat. Plan. framework, integrated with your existing care, and supported by a collaborative team where you’re never just a procedure—you’re part of safe, trusting relationships where real transformation becomes possible.

Taking Action Together
At Krasner Institute, we don’t wait for treatments to fail before we act. We begin with the interventions strong enough to bring real relief—interventional psychiatry (like TMS), targeted medications, and other medical supports. Stabilizing state of mind first makes everything else possible.
From Plan to Practice
Treatment begins right away, with the Living Treatment Plan as our guide.
The Family Lens Continues
Parents and families are part of the process through coaching, therapy, and open communication.
Your Care Coordinator
Keeps appointments, data, and communication aligned—so care never feels fragmented.
Our sequence is different:
Stabilize first → Build engagement → Strengthen families → Deepen into therapy.
This approach is both science-driven and profoundly human, offering not just symptom relief but lasting pathways to resilience and connection.
Core Treatment Elements
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain associated with depression, OCD, PTSD, and anxiety disorders. Unlike medications that affect your entire body, TMS precisely targets specific brain regions to restore neural function—with approximately 90% of patients with treatment-resistant depression experiencing significant improvement.
At Krasner Institute, TMS is delivered by experienced psychiatrists and integrated into your ongoing care with personalized protocols tailored to your unique needs, not as a standalone device service.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative treatment for depression, trauma, and treatment-resistant conditions that works by rapidly enhancing the brain’s ability to form new neural connections. Unlike traditional antidepressants that take weeks to work, ketamine acts on the glutamate system—creating measurable relief within hours and allowing stuck patterns of thinking and feeling to shift when paired with skilled therapeutic guidance.
At Krasner Institute, your KAP treatment is designed in partnership with your current therapist and supervised through a faculty practice where multiple clinicians review your care, ensuring the relational trust and therapeutic continuity essential for transformation—not the fragmented model of standalone ketamine services.
