Welcome to the Albany Clinic
The Albany Clinic in Carbondale, Illinois, specializes in innovative mental health treatments for individuals struggling with PTSD and Treatment-Resistant Depression. Our mission is to provide cutting-edge therapies to those who have not found relief through traditional methods.
We offer state-of-the-art mental health treatments, including Intravenous (IV) Ketamine Infusion Therapy, Esketamine (Spravato), Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for PTSD, and TMS therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). These evidence-based treatments have been shown in clinical trials to significantly improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
At Albany Clinic, we are dedicated to offering advanced psychiatric treatments that help our patients regain control over their lives.
Our Mental Health Clinic Services
Stellate Ganglion Block​​
Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is an injection of a local anesthetic around a collection of nerves located on the right side of the neck. Because these nerves control the “fight or flight” response of the sympathetic nervous system, SGB is an effective treatment for those suffering from PTSD.
IV Infusion Therapy
At the Albany Clinic we use IV drug infusions, primarily composed of the drug ketamine, as therapeutic interventions for both Treatment-Resistant Depression and for PTSD, where it has been shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms for both of these conditions.
TMS Therapy
We offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy (TMS) for Treatment-Resistant Depression and other conditions by sending magnetic pulses to underactive regions of the brain. TMS therapy is a noninvasive treatment that brings relief to many.

Our Level of Care
The Albany Clinic specializes in interventional treatments for various mental health disorders, including PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), Treatment-Resistant Depression, and Social Anxiety Disorder.
To ensure the best possible outcomes, we require prospective patients to participate in a structured mental health care program under the supervision of a licensed mental health professional. Patients must provide a current psychological evaluation and evidence that they meet the criteria for one of our advanced psychiatric treatments.
Before being considered for treatment, referred patients must have previously attempted and failed appropriate medical therapies for their diagnosed condition. For those without a mental health care provider, we can refer them to a qualified professional in the area.
At The Albany Clinic, we are committed to offering evidence-based treatments that provide hope and healing for those struggling with severe mental health conditions.
