A New Era of Mental Health: Exploring TMS, ECT, and Ketamine Therapy with Dr. Lauren Marasa, Double-Certified Psychiatrist

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Lauren Marotta, a double-certified psychiatrist specializing in interventional and forensic psychiatry, for a deep dive into the intersection of mental health, groundbreaking treatments, and the resilience it takes to navigate life’s challenges. Lauren’s journey from the demanding world of neurosurgery to finding her true calling in psychiatry is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of self-discovery. Through her experiences, she learned the importance of listening to her inner voice, even when the path forward seemed unclear. We dive into the transformative impact of her work in interventional psychiatry, where she has been on the cutting edge of groundbreaking treatments for mental health. From therapies like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) to the revolutionary use of ketamine for treatment-resistant depression, Lauren explains how these therapies are helping to reboot the brain and provide hope to those who feel stuck in their struggles. Lauren’s compassionate approach to psychiatry is a reflection of her own experiences navigating the complexities of mental health, both as a doctor and as a person who understands the depths of pain and healing. She shares how her spa-like mental health practice was designed to break barriers and make people feel more comfortable seeking help. In our conversation, she talks about the importance of connecting with people—not just as patients, but as human beings—making treatment accessible, effective, and full of hope.
