Ketamine Therapy Clinics in New York

Providers across New York use ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders, OCD, and certain chronic pain conditions. These are situations where other treatments have not produced adequate results.

Whether ketamine is appropriate for you depends on your full medical and psychiatric history. A licensed provider at the clinic you choose will make that determination.

IV ketamine is delivered directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line and is used off-label for mental health and pain conditions. Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray form of esketamine administered in a clinic setting, where patients are observed for a period after each dose. The two treatments have different dosing protocols, session lengths, and insurance situations.

For IV infusions, you sit or recline in a clinical setting while the medication is administered over a set period, typically with monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate throughout. Spravato sessions involve self-administering the nasal spray under clinical supervision, followed by an observation period. You will not be able to drive yourself home after either type of session.

The largest concentration of clinics is in and around New York City, like Brooklyn and the broader metro area. Long Island communities like Garden City, Melville, and Hampton Bays also have multiple providers. Upstate, Rochester and Albany are the strongest hubs, with additional options in cities like Buffalo, Syracuse, and White Plains.

Most ketamine therapy, especially IV infusion, is paid out of pocket. Spravato is the format most likely to have some insurance coverage, since it is FDA-approved, but actual coverage depends on your specific plan and diagnosis. It is worth calling your insurer before your first appointment to ask directly.

A number of New York clinics publish per-infusion rates, so some price transparency exists, particularly in the New York City metro. The total cost of a starter course depends on which treatment format you choose and how many sessions your provider recommends. Self-pay is the norm for most patients, and some clinics offer payment plans.

Yes. While the city and its suburbs have the densest cluster of providers, clinics operate across a wide range of upstate and Long Island communities. Rochester, Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, White Plains, and many smaller towns have at least one provider. Spravato in particular is available in a broad set of locations across the state.

No. Every listing here is an in-person clinic where treatment is administered on site. At-home or telehealth ketamine programs are not included.

Start by confirming which treatment formats each clinic offers, since not every location provides every type. Then ask about clinician credentials, what monitoring looks like during sessions, and how the clinic handles follow-up care. Getting a written cost breakdown before committing is also a practical step.

Yes. Ketamine is a Schedule III controlled substance under U.S. federal law and is legal for licensed clinicians to prescribe and administer off-label, including for treatment-resistant depression and other conditions. Spravato (esketamine), the FDA-approved nasal-spray form, is dispensed only in certified healthcare settings under a federal Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. That applies in New York as it does nationwide. The standards for who may administer treatment are set by state regulators and by the clinicians themselves; you can look up the current licensing board for your state through the Federation of State Medical Boards directory at fsmb.org.
