Headlight Mental Healthcare, a Ketamine Therapy Clinic in Phoenix, specializes in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and related mood and trauma conditions. Matthew Laird, a psychiatric mental-health nurse practitioner, leads clinical care with an integrative approach that combines ketamine infusion or intranasal administration alongside structured psychotherapy. The clinic positions ketamine treatment within a broader mental-health framework rather than as a standalone pharmaceutical intervention, emphasizing the role of therapeutic support in facilitating neuroplasticity and symptom resolution. Patients typically work with the practice over a defined treatment course, with sessions coordinated to support both acute symptom relief and longer-term psychological integration.

I have been seeing Matthew for a little over a year, and I can say without hesitation that this has been the most meaningful and supportive care I have ever received from a mental health provider. He has never approached my care as a checklist or a one-size-fits-all plan, but instead as a collaborative treatment focused on improving my quality of life in a realistic, compassionate, and sustainable way and just as importantly, with a genuine listening ear. He is incredibly kind and has a very calm, grounding presence. Every appointment feels intentional because he truly cares about my growth and success as a whole person.
He’s the kind of provider you feel lucky to have and can genuinely trust, which speaks volumes in the world of healthcare these days. (Especially if you are part of the LGBTQ community)
So if you’re looking for a psychiatrist who truly cares about your wellbeing and success, you will be in exceptional hands.
I couldn’t recommend Matthew more!

Where to start; I found Matthew on psychology today and was hesitant because of the past providers I found on that website. I am very grateful I overlooked the stigma of terrible providers and gave Matthew a chance. I have been his patient for a little over 3 months and my life has traumatically changed. Being that he was a nurse before NP, he has extremely good bedside manners. I have always gone to doctors for my medication management and was skeptical on trying a NP but wow I’m so glad I did. Matthew is very attentive, he puts the work into things and doesn’t make you feel like a burden. I am safely switching my meds now and I can finally see a light at the end of this long tunnel. I’d recommend him a thousands times!

Matthew brings a special passion to the topic of mental health. You will find a compassionate voice with a clear mind who truly tries to help you unravel your mental ball of yarn. This is not a practice where you will “just be put on a pill”. This is not Matthew’s philosophy. Instead you’ll delve into the nature of where your problem lies as he tries to help you become a better you. For those who are struggling with feelings that members of the LGBTQ community have in far too great abundance Matthew has a superb knowledge base to help you in working thru it and furthermore understand how you fit into it just as you are. Give him a try, you’ll never want to see a different therapist again.

Made me feel comfortable discussing everything. Matt took extra time to explain a treatment plan specifically for me. Great provider and best patient care I have ever received.
