Frequently Asked Questions

What is interventional psychiatry?
Interventional psychiatry uses procedures such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), ketamine infusions, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for mental health conditions that have not responded enough to medication and therapy alone. At Mind Spa, those treatments are layered with medication management and trauma-informed therapy into one plan.
What conditions does Mind Spa treat?
We treat depression, treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders, OCD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and acute stress and adjustment disorders. We have a deep specialty in veterans, active duty service members, and first responders, and the same care is available to civilians, who make up a large part of our practice.
Do I have to be a veteran or first responder to be treated here?
No. Mind Spa is veteran-owned and specializes in caring for the military and first responder community, but our treatments are open to everyone. A large part of our practice is civilians dealing with depression, PTSD, anxiety, and TBI.
How is TMS different from antidepressants?
TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions involved in mood instead of working through a medication. Mind Spa uses the Apollo TMS Therapy System, which is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder and OCD. It is non-invasive, needs no sedation, and you drive yourself home afterward. It is often used for depression that has not improved enough with medication.
Are ketamine and HBOT FDA-approved for these conditions?
No. IV ketamine is used off-label for depression, PTSD, and anxiety, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used off-label for TBI and mental health conditions. The only FDA-approved ketamine-based treatment for depression is esketamine (Spravato) nasal spray. Your provider reviews the evidence, risks, and alternatives with you.
Does insurance cover treatment at Mind Spa?
Mind Spa is in network with TRICARE (West Region), VA Community Care, CHAMPVA, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medicare. Coverage varies by plan and treatment, so our team verifies your benefits and reviews your expected costs with you before treatment begins.
Does TRICARE cover TMS?
TRICARE covers TMS for eligible beneficiaries with major depressive disorder who have not responded to a less intensive treatment, such as antidepressants. Mind Spa handles the prior authorization and confirms approval before treatment begins. TRICARE For Life beneficiaries are covered for TMS through Medicare.
What is Inner Armor?
Inner Armor is Mind Spa's 7 to 12 week outpatient program for TRICARE Prime, Select, and Reserve Select beneficiaries. It combines 36 TMS sessions, 6 ketamine infusions, and 36 HBOT sessions, plus medication management and therapy as needed. TRICARE For Life is not eligible for Inner Armor. Standard TRICARE copays and cost-shares apply, and we review your expected costs with you before you begin.
What is Path4EMS?
Path4EMS is a Colorado grant program that helps pay for confidential mental health treatment for Colorado EMS professionals and their families. It covers $125 per session, or $250 per ketamine session, up to $1,250 per family per year. Mind Spa is an authorized Path4EMS provider.
