All four clinics are accessible by public transit and offer nearby parking. We also serve patients from Arlington, Belmont, Dedham, Lexington, Needham, Somerville, Waltham, Watertown, Wellesley, and Weston.

Harvard-trained clinical leadership

Our clinical program is led by Dr. Benjamin Yudkoff and a team of board-certified psychiatric providers with deep expertise in ketamine and esketamine therapy. Our staff includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, licensed clinical social workers, and registered nurses — all dedicated to evidence-based, compassionate care.

FDA-approved Spravato — not off-label treatment

Lumin Health specializes in Spravato (esketamine) — the first and only FDA-approved nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression. FDA approval means rigorous clinical trials, a certified REMS safety protocol, and coverage by most major insurance plans. We also offer IV ketamine therapy and integration psychotherapy for a comprehensive treatment approach.

95% of patients covered by insurance

Transformative care that is accessible and affordable. We accept Medicare and most major private insurance plans in Massachusetts including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, Optum, Point32Health, Tufts, and United Healthcare. Treatment costs are typically similar to a specialist office visit.

The experience catered to you — private suites, concierge care

Every session takes place in a private, comfortable suite with thoughtful amenities — not a shared infusion room. Our concierge team handles everything from insurance verification and prior authorization to scheduling and post-treatment transportation, so you can focus entirely on your healing.

Rapid relief — begin treatment in weeks, not months

When you are struggling, waiting months for an appointment is not acceptable. Most patients begin treatment within weeks of their initial consultation, and many experience meaningful improvement after just a few sessions — days rather than the weeks or months often required by traditional antidepressants.

Our advanced therapeutic treatments with ketamine and Spravato

SAFE
EFFECTIVE
RAPID
Spravato (Esketamine)
An in-network antidepressant treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Intranasal esketamine has shown significant improvements when other treatments haven't worked. Offering similar benefits to ketamine infusion therapy, Spravato is FDA-approved, accepted by most insurances, generally well-tolerated, and convenient due to its nasal spray form.
Ketamine Therapy
An evidence-based treatment for depression and other mental health conditions like anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and suicidal thoughts. By targeting neurotransmitters in the brain through a separate mechanism than traditional SSRIs, ketamine treatment can offer rapid and meaningful relief when traditional treatments haven't helped.

Lumin Health's comforting environment for ketamine therapy

Each treatment session takes place in a private suite designed for focus and calm. You're monitored throughout by clinical staff, with everything you need to stay comfortable during the session — blankets, eye masks, and refreshments. The environment is intentional: structured to support treatment, relaxed to let the treatment work.
