About Us

Freedom Ketamine Treatment Centers was founded in 2016 to deliver advanced ketamine infusion therapy and stellate ganglion block (SGB) treatment to patients suffering from depression, PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain and other psychiatric conditions. With board-certified psychiatrists Dr. Aubrey Verdun and Dr. Edward Park leading the practice, we combine cutting-edge science with compassionate care across the Washington, DC metropolitan area and Orlando, FL. Our mission is to provide safe, effective, and rapid relief for individuals whose conventional treatments have failed, restoring hope and quality of life.
Each patient receives a personalized assessment through our virtual or in-person consults. We then design a protocol that may include low-dose ketamine infusions, SGB procedures or a combination, depending on the condition and response. Our infusion rooms are equipped with monitoring and comfortable environments, ensuring that patients feel secure throughout the treatment. The therapeutic benefits extend beyond symptom reduction; patients often report improved mood, reduced anxiety, enhanced pain tolerance and greater emotional resilience within hours of their first session. Long-term follow-ups allow us to adjust dosing and support sustained recovery.
With five strategically located clinics - Columbia, Bethesda, Rockville, Herndon and Orlando - and a fully telemedicine platform, we reach patients across a broad geographic range. Our staff includes licensed physicians, nurses, therapists, and support coordinators who work collaboratively to maintain the highest standards of safety and efficacy. We also partner with Freedom IV Hydration Centers to offer integrated wellness services, reinforcing our commitment to holistic healing. Freedom Ketamine Treatment Centers is proud to have helped countless individuals reclaim their lives through evidence-based therapies that are backed by the latest research.
Every infusion is administered under continuous cardiac and respiratory monitoring by a trained nurse and supervised by a board-certified psychiatrist. We adhere to the latest FDA guidelines and institutional protocols to guarantee the safety of each session. Our research-oriented approach incorporates ongoing data collection, enabling us to refine dosing strategies and track long-term outcomes. Patients who have completed our program often share testimonials about newfound energy, the ability to pursue hobbies again, and a renewed sense of purpose. Freedom Ketamine Treatment Centers remains committed to pioneering therapeutic modalities that transform lives.
