NEW YORK, NY, March 13, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Haviva Malina, a leading physician pioneering the use of ketamine for mental health treatment in New York City, has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Haviva Malina's name has also been selected to appear on the cover of Who's Who in Medicine and Healthcare, a prestigious recognition of her contributions to the medical field. This honor underscores Dr. Malina's dedication to expanding access to innovative mental health treatments and her commitment to patient-centered care.

"Ketamine therapy has the potential to transform lives by offering relief where traditional treatments have fallen short. By fostering neuroplasticity and creating new neural pathways, it helps patients reframe their thinking and behavior in profound ways," said Dr. Malina, co-founder of Keta Medical Center. "At Keta Medical Center, we focus on the ketamine treatment itself but also on the process- to ensure that our patients receive medically supervised care tailored to their individual needs."

With over 15 years of experience in emergency medicine, Dr. Malina has long been interested in the intersection of mental health and overall well-being. In 2021, she co-founded Keta Medical Center alongside her sister-in-law, also an emergency medicine physician, to provide advanced ketamine therapy options for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mental health disorders.

Ketamine therapy remains relatively new as a pioneering treatment for psychiatric conditions, and Dr. Malina plays a critical role in educating psychiatrists as well as guiding patients through the process. She assesses each individual's suitability for treatment, explains the therapeutic approach, and coordinates with patients' providers to coordinate care. Her work has been particularly impactful for patients who have struggled for years without relief, including older individuals who are now experiencing improved mental well-being for the first time.

"Mental illness does not discriminate—it affects people from all backgrounds," Dr. Malina stated. "With the rise of social media and other societal pressures, I'm particularly concerned about our youth and their mental health and the need for better resources and support."

Looking ahead, Dr. Malina is committed to expanding access to ketamine therapy by growing her clinics and continuing to educate psychiatric providers on ketamine's safety and its benefits. Her clinics accept insurance for the nasal ketamine spray, and also offers ancillary services such as adjunct ketamine therapy. She hopes that by increasing awareness and simultaneously making the process more accessible for patients, more patients can find relief and have an improved quality of life.
