About Stella Center Boston
Stella Center Boston is a Stella Center of Excellence located in the Brookline area, providing advanced biological approaches aimed at reducing and easing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The center’s main clinical options include dual sympathetic reset (DSR) with stellate ganglion block (SGB), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and ketamine therapy. Alongside these biological treatments, Stella Center Boston also offers optional one-on-one counseling to help reinforce and support the overall care plan. The team reviews each potential client’s reported symptoms and medical history to assess whether Stella’s treatment approach is an appropriate match.
The DSR method uses an injection near a group of nerves that influence automatic bodily functions such as heart rate and blood pressure. By doing so, it aims to recalibrate the body’s fight-or-flight reaction and guide the nervous system back toward a more balanced baseline. SGB is FDA-approved for pain management, though it may be used off-label to help address mental health symptoms, and this use is consistent with findings in the medical literature. Stella Center Boston provides financing options and works with insurance plans for Spravato and for intake appointments.
