Ketamine Therapy Clinics in Tennessee

Clinics in Tennessee commonly see patients dealing with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, and certain chronic pain conditions. That said, ketamine therapy is not appropriate for everyone with those diagnoses. Talk with a licensed medical provider who can review your full history and tell you whether it is worth pursuing.

IV ketamine infusion delivers the medication directly into the bloodstream at a clinic, with a provider monitoring you throughout the session. Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray form of esketamine administered at a certified clinic, and patients stay for a monitored observation period after each dose.

IV ketamine is used off-label for mental health and pain conditions, while Spravato has specific FDA-approved indications. Insurance is more likely to engage with Spravato than with IV infusion, though coverage still varies widely by plan.

Before your first session, you will go through a medical evaluation to confirm you are a candidate. During the session itself, a clinician administers the treatment and monitors your blood pressure, heart rate, and overall condition. Sessions typically last between 45 minutes and a couple of hours depending on the format. You will not be able to drive yourself home afterward.

The largest concentration of clinics is in and around Nashville, with additional options in Franklin, Brentwood, Chattanooga, Johnson City, Knoxville, and Memphis, among others. The city list on this page shows the full breakdown by location.

Most ketamine therapy in Tennessee is paid out of pocket. Spravato is the treatment format most likely to have some insurance coverage, but whether your plan covers it depends on your specific insurer and policy. Call your insurance company and the clinic directly to get a clear picture before committing.

Some clinics in Tennessee publish per-infusion rates, so there is more pricing transparency here than in some other states. The total cost of a starter course depends on how many sessions are included and which format you choose. Ask each clinic for a full course estimate, not just a per-session price, so you can compare accurately.

Yes. While Nashville has the most options, clinics are also present in Chattanooga, Johnson City, Knoxville, Memphis, and several smaller cities across the state. If you are in East Tennessee, Johnson City and Knoxville are likely the most accessible options.

No. This directory lists only in-person clinics where treatment is administered on site by a clinical team. At-home or telehealth ketamine programs are not included.

Start with what is actually available near you, since not every format is offered in every city. Then look at the intake process, who oversees treatment, and what follow-up support looks like. Pricing is worth comparing too, especially for multi-session starter courses. A good clinic will answer all of these questions clearly before you book.

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 Tennessee 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.
