Nushama Wellness Center

Nushama is a truly wonderful and healing place for anyone dealing with major depression, PTSD, anxiety, or grief. The atmosphere feels uplifting and supportive from the moment you walk in. The rooms are spotless, and the hallways are beautifully decorated with pink flowers, and filled with a sense of peace and care. The staff is incredibly compassionate, attentive, and genuinely kind. They always make sure I’m comfortable — even finding the perfect chair to accommodate my back issues. I love the thoughtful touches during therapy sessions, like the cozy sleep masks, snack trays, and soothing playlists that make the experience relaxing and personal. Today, they even used a smudge stick to bring positive energy and good spiritual vibes into the space — a lovely touch that made the environment feel even more serene. Nushama is easy to get to from the E train, and the office appears ADA accessible, which makes it even more welcoming. Overall, it’s a beautiful community focused on true healing and care.

I first found my way to Nushama in the summer of 2024 at one of my lowest points. My incredibly supportive husband (who is also an oncologist) felt this treatment could help me cope with my chronic illness/ pain and worsening depression. In addition to helping my physical pain, he had seen how ketamine helped people who felt “stuck” or hopeless start viewing their realities from new perspectives. He thought it might be precisely what I needed, and he was 100% right. After my initial consultation with Dr Radowitz, I started with the recommended six session protocol. Even though I was quite nervous about what a ketamine infusion would feel like, Dr Radowitz reassured me tremendously and just made me feel like I had found the right place. He explained that even “bad trips” (or moments one might find unsettling) could have something important to teach. It really is all about perspective, and I learned he was right. Each journey has been important and life-changing in its own way. Nushama is aesthetically beautiful and has clearly been designed to foster an atmosphere of peace and healing. It is a sanctuary in the middle of the city. At the same time, it’s clear they never take the medical side lightly. Each session I know I’m being monitored by multiple medical professionals, which contributes to my sense of safety and allows me to “let go”. I always feel deeply cared for by the entire Nushama team (doctors, nurses, therapists ,office staff, etc. ) and consistently treated with professionalism, warmth and compassion. The integration therapists you’ll work with are first rate and the work you’ll do with them is just as important as the medication being administered. Each therapist has a unique and important perspective to offer. So remember - even if you wish to work with one or two therapists throughout your time there, be open to working with a variety. Each individual opened my mind in new ways and undoubtedly contributed to my growth. Prior to each journey, the therapists will talk with you and collaborate with you to set an “intention” going into each session. This is essential and helps guide each journey in a meaningful and productive way. When you’re coming out of the session, the same therapist will be there for you, listening and helping you make sense of what came up. It is sacred work and they certainly treat it that way. Ultimately, Nushama’s six session infusion protocol got me out of a hole I never thought I could escape. It helped with my physical and emotional pain more than I ever thought possible. I went from having almost daily migraines to maybe a few every month around my period. These days I go every month about a week before my period to stave off severe depression and pain caused by PMDD and endometriosis. It has been life changing. I feel deep gratitude that Nushama exists and I’m able to keep up this treatment. Nushama and everyone there have had a profound and lasting impact on my quality of life. I don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for their superb care and their active collaboration in my healing journey.

All my experiences at Nushama have been wonderful! Having struggled with depression my entire life and researching ketamine throughly I decided to give it a try. I chose Nushama after reviewing the professionals who created and serve at Nushama. Everyone I have interacted with has been stellar. The smiles, care, concern, understanding and respect are free flowing. The space and caregivers feel so comfortable and safe that I could relax and allow myself the experience. I was in an awful place when I started, thinking about wanting to die every day. Not every day, but more days I look out my window and find myself able to appreciate my life. I hope each person at Nushama knows they have touched my life and allowed me to feel loved.
